2015-07-28Documentation/git-tools: retire manually-maintained listLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-81/+7
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools came to the Git project itself to find them, so it made sense to maintain a list of tools here. These days, however, search engines fill that role much more efficiently, so retire the manually-maintained list. The list of front-ends and tools on the Git wiki rates perhaps a distant second to search engines, and may still have value, so retain a reference to it.

2015-07-28Documentation/git-tools: fix item text formattingLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-67/+67
Descriptive text for each tool item is incorrectly formatted using a fixed width font. Fix formatting to use a variable width font by unindenting the item text. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-28Documentation/git-tools: improve discoverability of Git wikiLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-6/+3
These days, the best way to find Git-related tools is via a search engine. The Git wiki may be a distant second, and git-tools.txt falls in last place. Therefore, promote the Git wiki reference to the top of git-tools.txt so the reader will encounter it first, rather than hiding it away at the very bottom.

2013-02-01Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GITLibravatar Thomas Ackermann1-7/+7
In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT, to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days. Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding guideline. Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann <th.acker@arcor.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-02-05Add hg-to-git conversion utility.Libravatar Stelian Pop1-0/+8
hg-to-git.py is able to convert a Mercurial repository into a git one, and preserves the branches in the process (unlike tailor) hg-to-git.py can probably be greatly improved (it's a rather crude combination of shell and python) but it does already work quite well for me. Features: - supports incremental conversion (for keeping a git repo in sync with a hg one) - supports hg branches - converts hg tags Signed-off-by: Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
