Commit b344e1614b (git remote update: Fallback to remote if group does not exist - 2009-04-06) lets "git remote update" accept individual remotes as well. Previously this command only accepted remote groups. The commit updates the command syntax but not the actual document of this subcommand. Update it.

2018-05-02doc: keep first level section header in upper caseLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
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.

2018-02-09git remote doc: correct dangerous lies about what prune doesLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-5/+9
The "git remote prune <name>" command uses the same machinery as "git fetch <name> --prune", and shares all the same caveats, but its documentation has suggested that it'll just "delete stale remote-tracking branches under <name>". This isn't true, and hasn't been true since at least v1.8.5.6 (the oldest version I could be bothered to test). E.g. if "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" is explicitly set in the refspec of the remote, it'll delete all local tags <name> doesn't know about. Instead, briefly give the reader just enough of a hint that this option might constitute a shotgun aimed at their foot, and point them to the new PRUNING section in the git-fetch documentation which explains all the nuances of what this facility does. See "[BUG] git remote prune removes local tags, depending on fetch config" (CACi5S_39wNrbfjLfn0xhCY+uewtFN2YmnAcRc86z6pjUTjWPHQ@mail.gmail.com) by Michael Giuffrida for the initial report.

2015-01-29Documentation/git-remote.txt: stress that set-url is not for triangularLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+14
It seems to be a common mistake to try using a single remote (e.g. 'origin') to fetch from one place (i.e. upstream) while pushing to another (i.e. your publishing point). That will never work satisfactorily, and it is easy to understand why if you think about what refs/remotes/origin/* would mean in such a world. It fundamentally cannot reflect the reality. If it follows the state of your upstream, it cannot match what you have published, and vice versa. It may be that misinformation is spread by some people. Let's counter them by adding a few words to our documentation. - The description was referring to <oldurl> and <newurl>, but never mentioned <name> argument you give from the command line. By mentioning "remote <name>", stress the fact that it is configuring a single remote. - Add a reminder that explicitly states that this is about a single remote, which the triangular workflow is not about.

Bruce also has a more richer internal branch structure (master, everything, for-3.1, ...), so updating the existing example to use his current repo may be confusing.

2012-04-26docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

2011-06-23git-remote.txt: avoid sounding as if loose refs are the only ones in the worldLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+10
It was correct to say "The file $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master stores the commit object name at the tip of the master branch" in the older days, but not anymore, as refs can be packed into $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file. Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and "symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation detail. This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/ file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

2011-03-30remote: deprecate --mirrorLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+0
The configuration created by plain --mirror is dangerous and useless, and we now have --mirror=fetch and --mirror=push to replace it. Let's warn the user. One alternative to this is to try to guess which type the user wants. In a non-bare repository, a fetch mirror doesn't make much sense, since it would overwrite local commits. But in a bare repository, you might use either type, or even both (e.g., if you are acting as an intermediate drop-point across two disconnected networks). So rather than try for complex heuristics, let's keep it simple. The user knows what they're trying to do, so let them tell us.

2011-03-30remote: separate the concept of push and fetch mirrorsLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+13
git-remote currently has one option, "--mirror", which sets up mirror configuration which can be used for either fetching or pushing. It looks like this: [remote "mirror"] url = wherever fetch = +refs/*:refs/* mirror = true However, a remote like this can be dangerous and confusing. Specifically: 1. If you issue the wrong command, it can be devastating. You are not likely to "push" when you meant to "fetch", but "git remote update" will try to fetch it, even if you intended the remote only for pushing. In either case, the results can be quite destructive. An unintended push will overwrite or delete remote refs, and an unintended fetch can overwrite local branches. 2. The tracking setup code can produce confusing results. The fetch refspec above means that "git checkout -b new master" will consider refs/heads/master to come from the remote "mirror", even if you only ever intend to push to the mirror. It will set up the "new" branch to track mirror's refs/heads/master. 3. The push code tries to opportunistically update tracking branches. If you "git push mirror foo:bar", it will see that we are updating mirror's refs/heads/bar, which corresponds to our local refs/heads/bar, and will update our local branch. To solve this, we split the concept into "push mirrors" and "fetch mirrors". Push mirrors set only remote.*.mirror, solving (2) and (3), and making an accidental fetch write only into FETCH_HEAD. Fetch mirrors set only the fetch refspec, meaning an accidental push will not force-overwrite or delete refs on the remote end. The new syntax is "--mirror=<fetch|push>". For compatibility, we keep "--mirror" as-is, setting up both types simultaneously. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa.
