Merge branch 'kn/ref-filter-branch-list' The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated with the more generic ref-filter API. * kn/ref-filter-branch-list: (21 commits) ref-filter: resurrect "strip" as a synonym to "lstrip" branch: implement '--format' option branch: use ref-filter printing APIs branch, tag: use porcelain output ref-filter: allow porcelain to translate messages in the output ref-filter: add an 'rstrip=<N>' option to atoms which deal with refnames ref-filter: modify the 'lstrip=<N>' option to work with negative '<N>' ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' option ref-filter: rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip' ref-filter: make remote_ref_atom_parser() use refname_atom_parser_internal() ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser() ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser_internal() ref-filter: make "%(symref)" atom work with the ':short' modifier ref-filter: add support for %(upstream:track,nobracket) ref-filter: make %(upstream:track) prints "[gone]" for invalid upstreams ref-filter: introduce format_ref_array_item() ref-filter: move get_head_description() from branch.c ref-filter: modify "%(objectname:short)" to take length ref-filter: implement %(if:equals=<string>) and %(if:notequals=<string>) ref-filter: include reference to 'used_atom' within 'atom_value' ...
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
