* Documentation: the name of the system is 'Git', not 'git'Thomas Ackermann2013-02-011-8/+8

* Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsMartin von Zweigbergk2011-07-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

* init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git fileNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2011-03-191-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | --separate-git-dir tells git to create git dir at the specified location, instead of where it is supposed to be. A .git file that points to that location will be put in place so that it appears normal to repo discovery process.

* git-init.txt: move description section upNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2011-03-191-26/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's more or less standard that synopsis is followed by description, then options. This is not just a clean move though: - The paragraphs are realigned a bit - The text mentioning git-init-db is dropped. init-db is deprecated, no need to confuse new users Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesJeff King2011-03-111-9/+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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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 For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless.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.

* Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutThomas Rast2010-01-101-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* git init: optionally allow a directory argumentNanako Shiraishi2009-07-251-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When starting a new repository, I see my students often say % git init newrepo and curse git. They could say % mkdir newrepo; cd newrepo; git init but allowing it as an obvious short-cut may be nicer.

* manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Jonathan Nieder2008-07-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder2008-07-011-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsStephan Beyer2008-06-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

* documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Christian Couder2008-06-061-1/+1

* git-init: accept --bare optionLuciano Rocha2008-05-281-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is unfortunate that "git init --bare" does not work and the only reason why "init" did not learn its own "--bare" option is because "git --bare init" already does the job (and as an option to the git 'potty', it is more generic solution). This teaches "git init" its own "--bare" option, so that both "git --bare init" and "git init --bare" works mostly the same way.

* Make core.sharedRepository more genericHeikki Orsila2008-04-161-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git init --shared=0xxx, where '0xxx' is an octal number, will create a repository with file modes set to '0xxx'. Users with a safe umask value (0077) can use this option to force file modes. For example, '0640' is a group-readable but not group-writable regardless of user's umask value. Values compatible with old Git versions are written as they were before, for compatibility reasons. That is, "1" for "group" and "2" for "everybody". "git config core.sharedRepository 0xxx" is also handled. Signed-off-by: Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
