2021-11-05generate-cmdlist.sh: replace "grep' invocation with a shell versionLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Replace the "grep" we run to exclude certain programs from the generated output with a pure-shell loop that strips out the comments, and sees if the "cmd" we're reading is on a list of excluded programs. This uses a trick similar to test_have_prereq() in test-lib-functions.sh. On my *nix system this makes things quite a bit slower compared to HEAD~: o 'sh generate-cmdlist.sh.old command-list.txt' ran 1.56 ± 0.11 times faster than 'sh generate-cmdlist.sh command-list.txt' 18.00 ± 0.19 times faster than 'sh generate-cmdlist.sh.master command-list.txt' But when I tried running generate-cmdlist.sh 100 times in CI I found that it helped across the board even on OSX & Linux. I tried testing it in CI with this ad-hoc few-liner: for i in $(seq -w 0 11 | sort -nr) do git show HEAD~$i:generate-cmdlist.sh >generate-cmdlist-HEAD$i.sh && git add generate-cmdlist* && cp t/t0000-generate-cmdlist.sh t/t00$i-generate-cmdlist.sh || : && perl -pi -e "s/HEAD0/HEAD$i/g" t/t00$i-generate-cmdlist.sh && git add t/t00*.sh done && git commit -m"generated it" Here HEAD~02 and the t0002* file refers to this change, and HEAD~03 and t0003* file to the preceding commit, the relevant results were: linux-gcc: [12:05:33] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 14 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 3.64 cusr 3.09 csys = 6.73 CPU) [12:05:30] t0003-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 32 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 2.66 cusr 1.81 csys = 4.47 CPU) osx-gcc: [11:58:04] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 80081 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.02 sys + 17.80 cusr 10.07 csys = 27.91 CPU) [11:58:16] t0003-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 92127 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 22.54 cusr 14.27 csys = 36.84 CPU) vs-test: [12:03:14] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 30 s ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 13.14 cusr 26.19 csys = 39.35 CPU) [12:03:20] t0003-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 32 s ( 0.00 usr 0.02 sys + 13.25 cusr 26.10 csys = 39.37 CPU) I.e. even on *nix running 100 of these in a loop was up to ~2x faster in absolute runtime, I suspect it's due factors that are exacerbated in the CI, e.g. much slower process startup due to some platform limits, or a slower FS. The "cut -d" change here is because we're not emitting the 40-character aligned output anymore, i.e. we'll get the output from command_list() now, not an as-is line from command-list.txt. This also makes the parsing more reliable, as we could tweak the whitespace alignment without breaking this parser. Let's reword a now-inaccurate comment in "command-list.txt" describing that previous alignment limitation. We'll still need the "### command-list [...]" line due to the "Documentation/cmd-list.perl" logic added in 11c6659d85d (command-list: prepare machinery for upcoming "common groups" section, 2015-05-21). There was a proposed change subsequent to this one[3] which continued moving more logic into the "command_list() function, i.e. replaced the "cut | tr | grep" chain in "category_list()" with an argument to "command_list()". That change might have had a bit of an effect, but not as much as the preceding commit, so I decided to drop it. The relevant performance numbers from it were: linux-gcc: [12:05:33] t0001-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 13 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 3.33 cusr 2.78 csys = 6.11 CPU) [12:05:33] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 14 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 3.64 cusr 3.09 csys = 6.73 CPU) osx-gcc: [11:58:03] t0001-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 78416 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 11.78 cusr 6.22 csys = 18.03 CPU) [11:58:04] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 80081 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.02 sys + 17.80 cusr 10.07 csys = 27.91 CPU) vs-test: [12:03:20] t0001-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 34 s ( 0.00 usr 0.03 sys + 12.42 cusr 19.55 csys = 32.00 CPU) [12:03:14] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 30 s ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 13.14 cusr 26.19 csys = 39.35 CPU) As above HEAD~2 and t0002* are testing the code in this commit (and the line is the same), but HEAD~1 and t0001* are testing that dropped change in [3]. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v2-00.10-00000000000-20211022T193027Z-avarab@gmail.com/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-v2-08.10-83318d6c0da-20211022T193027Z-avarab@gmail.com/ 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-v2-10.10-e10a43756d1-20211022T193027Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-11-05command-list.txt: sort with "LC_ALL=C sort"Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-10/+10
We should keep these files sorted in the C locale, e.g. in the C locale the order is: git-check-mailmap git-check-ref-format git-checkout But under en_US.UTF-8 it's: git-check-mailmap git-checkout git-check-ref-format In a subsequent commit I'll change generate-cmdlist.sh to use C sort order, and without this change we'd be led to believe that that change caused a meaningful change in the output, so let's do this as a separate step, right now the generate-cmdlist.sh script just uses the order found in this file. Note that this refers to the sort order of the lines in command-list.txt, a subsequent commit will also change how we treat the sort order of the "category" fields, but that's unrelated to this change.

The previous two commits removed the last use of a function in this library, but most of it had been dead code for a while[1][2]. Only the "get_default_remote" function was still being used. Even though we had a manual page for this library it was never intended (or I expect, actually) used outside of git.git.

2020-09-25for-each-repo: run subcommands on configured reposLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
It can be helpful to store a list of repositories in global or system config and then iterate Git commands on that list. Create a new builtin that makes this process simple for experts. We will use this builtin to run scheduled maintenance on all configured repositories in a future change. The test is very simple, but does highlight that the "--" argument is optional.

2020-09-17maintenance: create basic maintenance runnerLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
The 'gc' builtin is our current entrypoint for automatically maintaining a repository. This one tool does many operations, such as repacking the repository, packing refs, and rewriting the commit-graph file. The name implies it performs "garbage collection" which means several different things, and some users may not want to use this operation that rewrites the entire object database. Create a new 'maintenance' builtin that will become a more general- purpose command. To start, it will only support the 'run' subcommand, but will later expand to add subcommands for scheduling maintenance in the background. For now, the 'maintenance' builtin is a thin shim over the 'gc' builtin. In fact, the only option is the '--auto' toggle, which is handed directly to the 'gc' builtin. The current change is isolated to this simple operation to prevent more interesting logic from being lost in all of the boilerplate of adding a new builtin. Use existing builtin/gc.c file because we want to share code between the two builtins. It is possible that we will have 'maintenance' replace the 'gc' builtin entirely at some point, leaving 'git gc' as an alias for some specific arguments to 'git maintenance run'. Create a new test_subcommand helper that allows us to test if a certain subcommand was run. It requires storing the GIT_TRACE2_EVENT logs in a file. A negation mode is available that will be used in later tests.

2019-11-22sparse-checkout: create builtin with 'list' subcommandLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for 'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the .git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires care. Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory. The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree" documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context. Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to a more restricted pattern set.

2019-05-07help: move git-diff and git-reset to different groupsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
The third column in command-list.txt determines what group a common command is printed in 'git help'. "git reset" is currently in the "work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)" group. While it's true that "git reset" can manipulate the index and can be in this group, its unique functionality is resetting HEAD, which should be the "grow, mark, tweak history" group. Moving it there will also avoid the confusion because both 'restore' and 'reset' are in the same group, next to each other. While looking at the 'group, mark, tweak history', I realize "git diff" should not be there. All the commands in this group is about _changing_ the commit history while "git diff" is a read-only operation. It fits better in the "examine the history and state" group (especially when "git status", its close friend, is already there). This is what we have after the reorganization: work on the current change (see also: git help everyday) add Add file contents to the index mv Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink restore Restore working tree files rm Remove files from the working tree and from the index examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions) bisect Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc grep Print lines matching a pattern log Show commit logs show Show various types of objects status Show the working tree status grow, mark and tweak your common history branch List, create, or delete branches commit Record changes to the repository merge Join two or more development histories together rebase Reapply commits on top of another base tip reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state switch Switch branches tag Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

For these reasons, promote it everywhere possible. This includes documentation, suggestions/advice from other commands. One nice thing about git-restore is the ability to restore "everything", so it can be used in "git status" advice instead of both "git checkout" and "git reset". The three commands suggested by "git status" are add, rm and restore. "git checkout" is also removed from "git help" (i.e. it's no longer considered a commonly used command) Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-05-07checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking out paths path. Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to match the man page. A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>': - 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both worktree and index). - 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'. - both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>' - default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as with --source (*). - when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be specified since the default source for these two individual targets are different (**) - --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the source, restoring means deleting the entry (*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD. (**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it through when they type the commands.

"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will adjust their behavior to match the man page.

The following commands are removed from the complete list: - annotate obsolete, discouraged to use - filter-branch not often used - get-tar-commit-id not often used - imap-send not often used - interpreter-trailers not for interactive use - name-rev plumbing, just use git-describe - p4 too short and probably not often used (*) - svn same category as p4 (*) - verify-commit not often used (*) to be fair, send-email command which is in the same foreignscminterface group as svn and p4 does get completion, just because it's used by git and kernel development. So maybe we should include them. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-21completion: let git provide the completable command listLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-26/+27
Instead of maintaining a separate list of command classification, which often could go out of date, let's centralize the information back in git. While the function in git-completion.bash implies "list porcelain commands", that's not exactly what it does. It gets all commands (aka --list-cmds=main,others) then exclude certain non-porcelain ones. We could almost recreate this list two lists list-mainporcelain and others. The non-porcelain-but-included-anyway is added by the third category list-complete. Note that the current completion script incorrectly classifies filter-branch as porcelain and t9902 tests this behavior. We keep it this way in t9902 because this test does not really care which particular command is porcelain or plumbing, they're just names.

2018-05-21help: use command-list.txt for the source of guidesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+16
The help command currently hard codes the list of guides and their summary in C. Let's move this list to command-list.txt. This lets us extract summary lines from Documentation/git*.txt. This also potentially lets us list guides in git.txt, but I'll leave that for now. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-10help: use command-list.h for common command listLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-10/+0
The previous commit added code generation for all_cmd_desc[] which includes almost everything we need to generate common command list. Convert help code to use that array instead and drop common_cmds[] array. The description of each common command group is removed from command-list.txt. This keeps this file format simpler. common-cmds.h will not be generated correctly after this change due to the command-list.txt format change. But it does not matter and common-cmds.h will be removed. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-10generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.hLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
The current generate-cmds.sh generates just enough to print "git help" output. That is, it only extracts help text for common commands. The script is now updated to extract help text for all commands and keep command classification a new file, command-list.h. This will be useful later: - "git help -a" could print a short summary of all commands instead of just the common ones. - "git" could produce a list of commands of one or more category. One of its use is to reduce another command classification embedded in git-completion.bash. The new file can be generated but is not used anywhere yet. The plan is we migrate away from common-cmds.h. Then we can kill off common-cmds.h build rules and generation code (and also delete duplicate content in command-list.h which we keep for now to not mess generate-cmds.sh up too much). PS. The new fixed column requirement on command-list.txt is technically not needed. But it helps simplify the code a bit at this stage. We could lift this restriction later if we want to.

Commit signatures can be verified using "git show -s --show-signature" or the "%G?" pretty format and parsing the output, which is well suited for user inspection, but not for scripting. Provide a command "verify-commit" which is analogous to "verify-tag": It returns 0 for good signatures and non-zero otherwise, has the gpg output on stderr and (optionally) the commit object on stdout, sans the signature, just like "verify-tag" does.
