2007-10-15Add a --dry-run option to git-push.Libravatar Brian Ewins1-1/+4
The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing for new users, since it will push changes that are not on the current branch. Publishing patches that were still cooking on a development branch is hard to undo. It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know what branches matched on the server. Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

2007-09-18git-push: documentation and tests for pushing only branchesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Commit 098e711e caused git-push to match only branches when considering which refs to push. This patch updates the documentation accordingly and adds a test for this behavior. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-05Include a git-push example for creating a remote branchLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+6
Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create the branch foo. This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/ in front of the desired branch name to create a branch. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-08-04Fixed git-push manpageLibravatar Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya1-1/+1
In git-push it is the remote repository and not the local repository which is fast forwarded. The description of the -f option in the git-push manpage gets it the other way round. Signed-off-by: Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya <jyotirmoy@jyotirmoy.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-07-05Add urls.txt to git-clone man pageLibravatar Andrew Ruder1-1/+1
Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include the URL-types list from urls.txt. Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make as much sense.

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-01-19rename --exec to --receive-pack for push and send-packLibravatar Uwe Kleine-König1-2/+5
For now it's just to get a more descriptive name. Later we might update the push protocol to run more than one program on the other end. Moreover this matches better the corresponding config option remote.<name>. receivepack. --exec continues to work Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <zeisberg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-08-02git-push: allow -f as an alias for --forceLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This was already documented in the options section of the manpage. This patch implements it, adds it to the usage message, and mentions it at the top of the manpage. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-02-21git-push: Update documentation to describe the no-refspec behavior.Libravatar Carl Worth1-0/+6
It turns out that the git-push documentation didn't describe what it would do when not given a refspec, (not on the command line, nor in a remotes file). This is fairly important for the user who is trying to understand operations such as: git clone git://something/some/where # hack, hack, hack git push origin I tracked the mystery behavior down to git-send-pack and lifted the relevant portion of its documentation up to git-push, (namely that all refs existing both locally and remotely are updated).

2006-02-06Docs: move git url and remotes text to separate sectionsLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-2/+3
The sections on git urls and remotes files in the git-fetch, git-pull, and git-push manpages seem long enough to be worth a manpage section of their own. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-06Docs: split up pull-fetch-param.txtLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+26
The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from pull-fetch-param.txt. This simplifies maintenance somewhat, but there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the other. So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without making us duplicate too much. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-15git-push: fix --tags and document it.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
Previously 'git-push --tags dst', used information from remotes/dst to determine which refs to push; this patch corrects it, and also documents the --tags option. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-12-05Documentation: push/receive hook references.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Mention documentation pages that talk about update and post-update hooks from git-push, because a frequently asked question is "I want X to happen when I push" and people would not know to look at git-receive-pack documentation until they understand that is what runs on the other end.

2005-10-19git-fetch/push/pull: documentation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+9
The documentation was lazily sharing the argument description across these commands. Lazy may be a way of life, but that does not justify confusing others ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+36
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
