2018-05-02doc: keep first level section header in upper caseLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this. While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

2018-04-18doc: convert \--option to --optionLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
Rather than using a backslash in \--foo, with or without ''-quoting, write `--foo` for better rendering. As explained in commit 1c262bb7b (doc: convert \--option to --option, 2015-05-13), the backslash is not needed for the versions of AsciiDoc that we support, but is rendered literally by Asciidoctor.

2017-10-24builtin/push.c: add push.pushOption configLibravatar Marius Paliga1-2/+8
Push options need to be given explicitly, via the command line as "git push --push-option <option>". Add the config option push.pushOption, which is a multi-valued option, containing push options that are sent by default. When push options are set in the lower-priority configulation file (e.g. /etc/gitconfig, or $HOME/.gitconfig), they can be unset later in the more specific repository config by the empty string. Add tests and update documentation as well. Signed-off-by: Marius Paliga <marius.paliga@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-08-07Doc/git-{push,send-pack}: correct --sign= to --signed=Libravatar Martin Ågren1-2/+2
Since we're about to touch the behavior of --signed=, do this as a preparatory step. The documentation mentions --sign=, and it works. But that's just because it's an unambiguous abbreviation of --signed, which is how it is actually implemented. This was added in commit 30261094 ("push: support signing pushes iff the server supports it", 2015-08-19). Back when that series was developed [1] [2], there were suggestions about both --sign= and --signed=. The final implementation settled on --signed=, but some of the documentation and commit messages ended up using --sign=. The option is referred to as --signed= in Documentation/config.txt (under push.gpgSign). One could argue that we have promised --sign for two years now, so we should implement it as an alias for --signed. (Then we might also deprecate the latter, something which was considered already then.) That would be a slightly more intrusive change. This minor issue would only be a problem once we want to implement some other option --signfoo, but the earlier we do this step, the better.

2017-04-19push: document & test --force-with-lease with multiple remotesLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+41
Document & test for cases where there are two remotes pointing to the same URL, and a background fetch & subsequent `git push --force-with-lease` shouldn't clobber un-updated references we haven't fetched. Some editors like Microsoft's VSC have a feature to auto-fetch in the background, this bypasses the protections offered by --force-with-lease & --force-with-lease=<refname>, as noted in the documentation being added here. See the 'Tools that do an automatic fetch defeat "git push --force-with-lease"' (<1491617750.2149.10.camel@mattmccutchen.net>) git mailing list thread for more details. Jakub Narębski suggested this method of adding another remote to bypass this edge case, document that & add a test for it.

2016-11-14doc: mention transfer data leaks in more placesLibravatar Matt McCutchen1-0/+2
The "SECURITY" section of the gitnamespaces(7) man page described two ways for a client to steal data from a server that wasn't intended to be shared. Similar attacks can be performed by a server on a client, so adapt the section to cover both directions and add it to the git-fetch(1), git-pull(1), and git-push(1) man pages. Also add references to this section from the documentation of server configuration options that attempt to control data leakage but may not be fully effective.

"git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow ensuring that such a push results in creation of a ref (i.e. the receiving end did not have another push from sideways that would be discarded by our force-pushing), but didn't expose this possibility to the users.

2016-02-23Documentation/git-push: document that 'simple' is the defaultLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+7
The default behavior is well documented already in git-config(1), but git-push(1) itself did not mention it at all. For users willing to learn how "git push" works but not how to configure it, this makes the documentation cumbersome to read.

2016-02-12connect & http: support -4 and -6 switches for remote operationsLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+7
Sometimes it is necessary to force IPv4-only or IPv6-only operation on networks where name lookups may return a non-routable address and stall remote operations. The ssh(1) command has an equivalent switches which we may pass when we run them. There may be old ssh(1) implementations out there which do not support these switches; they should report the appropriate error in that case. rsync support is untouched for now since it is deprecated and scheduled to be removed.

2015-11-20push: add recurseSubmodules config optionLibravatar Mike Crowe1-10/+14
The --recurse-submodules command line parameter has existed for some time but it has no config file equivalent. Following the style of the corresponding parameter for git fetch, let's invent push.recurseSubmodules to provide a default for this parameter. This also requires the addition of --recurse-submodules=no to allow the configuration to be overridden on the command line when required. The most straightforward way to implement this appears to be to make push use code in submodule-config in a similar way to fetch.

2015-10-22Documentation: AsciiDoc spells em-dash as double-dashes, not tripleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Again, we do not usually process release notes with AsciiDoc, but it is better to be consistent. This incidentally reveals breakages left by an ancient 5e00439f (Documentation: build html for all files in technical and howto, 2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without converted into em-dashes.

2015-05-12doc: convert \--option to --optionLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in "--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135 (Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29), this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no longer need to worry about quoting. Even though this does not change the output at all, there are a few good reasons to drop the quoting: 1. It makes the source prettier to read. 2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when reading the source. 3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a literal backslash.
