Don't confuse the user with old git messages. Signed-off-by: Markus Heidelberg <markus.heidelberg@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-11-17Documentation: tutorial: add information about "git help" at the beginningLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+1
Talking about "git help" is useful because it has a few more features (like when using it without arguments or with "-a") and it may work on non unix like platforms. Also add a few links to git-help(1) in "See also" sections. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-11-14Documentation: fix links to "everyday.html"Libravatar Christian Couder1-2/+4
In some places the links are wrong. They should be: "link:everyday.html", instead of: "linkgit:everyday[7]". This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-11Adjust for the new way of enabling the default post-update hookLibravatar Petr Baudis1-7/+8
The post-update hook, which is required to be enabled in order for the repository to be accessible over HTTP, is not enabled by chmod a+x anymore, but instead by dropping the .sample suffix. This patch emphasizes this change in the release notes (since I believe this is rather noticeable backwards-incompatible change). It also adjusts the documentation which still described the old way and fixes t/t5540-http-push.sh, which was broken for 1.5 month but apparently noone ever runs this test.

2008-07-05manpages: use teletype font for sample command linesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
I think that some of these uses of italics were meant to be rendered in quotation marks, anyway. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git subcommand names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
Italicize those git subcommand names already in teletype we missed. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize nongit command names (if they are in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-7/+7
Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual distinction between names of commands and command lines that can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent with other man pages outside Git. In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize gitk's name (where it was in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
The name `gitk` is sometimes meant to be entered at the command prompt, but most uses are just referring to the program with that name (not the incantation to start it). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-81/+81
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

2008-07-05Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-15/+15
With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter. I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some spots.

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-9/+9
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-51/+51
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. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-01Documentation: fix links to tutorials and other new manual pagesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+4
With the conversion of HTML documentation to man pages tutorial.html -> gittutorial (7) tutorial-2.html -> gittutorial-2 (7) cvs-migration.html -> gitcvs-migration (7) diffcore.html -> gitdiffcore (7) repository-layout.html -> gitrepository-layout (5) hooks.html -> githooks (5) glossary.html -> gitglossary (7) core-tutorial.html -> gitcore-tutorial (7) and the automatic update of references to these pages, a little debris was left behind. We clear it away. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-06documentation: convert "diffcore" and "repository-layout" to man pagesLibravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: diffcore.txt -> gitdiffcore.txt (man section 7) repository-layout.txt -> gitrepository-layout.txt (man section 5) Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-01Documentation: convert "glossary" and "core-tutorial" to man pagesLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+1699
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts them to the man format: core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual, the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt" new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the gitglossary man page. Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly and sometimes improved a little too.
