* ls-remote: add support for showing symrefstg/ls-remote-symrefThomas Gummerer2016-01-191-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it's useful to know the main branch of a git repository without actually downloading the repository. This can be done by looking at the symrefs stored in the remote repository. Currently git doesn't provide a simple way to show the symrefs stored on the remote repository, even though the information is available. Add a --symref command line argument to the ls-remote command, which shows the symrefs in the remote repository. While there, replace a literal tab in the format string with \t to make it more obvious to the reader.

* ls-remote: fix synopsisThomas Gummerer2016-01-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | git ls-remote takes an optional get-url argument, and specifying the repository is optional. Fix the synopsis in the documentation to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* ls-remote: document --refs optionThomas Gummerer2016-01-191-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | The --refs option was originally introduced in 2718ff0 ("Improve git-peek-remote"). The ls-remote command was first documented in 972b6fe ("ls-remote: drop storing operation and add documentation."), but the --refs option was never documented. Fix this.

| | | | | | | | | cefb2a5e3 ("ls-remote: print URL when no repo is specified") added a quiet option to ls-remote, but didn't add it to the documentation. Add it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* ls-remote.txt: delete unsupported optionnd/ls-remote-does-not-have-u-optionNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2015-09-281-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | -u <exec> has never been supported, but it was mentioned since 0a2bb55 (git ls-remote: make usage string match manpage - 2008-11-11). Nobody has complained about it for seven years, it's probably safe to say nobody cares. So let's remove "-u" in documents instead of adding code to support it. While at there, fix --upload-pack syntax too. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* ls-remote doc: don't encourage use of branches-fileRamkumar Ramachandra2013-06-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | One outdated example encourages the use of $GIT_DIR/branches files. Replace it with an equivalent example using a remote. Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* ls-remote doc: rewrite <repository> paragraphRamkumar Ramachandra2013-06-231-3/+3

* ls-remote doc: fix example invocation on git.gitRamkumar Ramachandra2013-06-231-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Under the EXAMPLES section, there is one invocation on the git.git repository that attempts to list the refs master, pu, and rc. The ref rc does not exist in today's repository, so remove it. Among other things, this example demonstrates that the "<refs>..." argument is simply a filter; requesting a non-existent ref is not an error.

* ls-remote: document the '--get-url' optionStefan Naewe2012-09-071-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | While looking for a way to expand the URL of a remote that uses a 'url.<name>.insteadOf' config option I stumbled over the undocumented '--get-url' option of 'git ls-remote'. This adds some minimum documentation for that option. And while at it, also add that option to the '-h' output.

* ls-remote: the --exit-code option reports "no matching refs"Michael Schubert2011-05-181-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when the command successfully talked with the remote repository. This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid way to check the same thing.

* doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesJeff King2011-03-111-4/+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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 formatting and cleanupJonathan Nieder2008-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder2008-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Beyer2008-06-081-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano2005-09-071-0/+64
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
