NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git - the stupid content tracker
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git' [--version] [--exec-path[=GIT_EXEC_PATH]] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
See this link:tutorial.html[tutorial] to get started, then see
|
|
link:everyday.html[Everyday Git] for a useful minimum set of commands, and
|
|
"man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may
|
|
also want to read link:cvs-migration.html[CVS migration].
|
|
|
|
The COMMAND is either a name of a Git command (see below) or an alias
|
|
as defined in the configuration file (see gitlink:git-repo-config[1]).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--version::
|
|
Prints the git suite version that the 'git' program came from.
|
|
|
|
--help::
|
|
Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used
|
|
commands. If a git command is named this option will bring up
|
|
the man-page for that command. If the option '--all' or '-a' is
|
|
given then all available commands are printed.
|
|
|
|
--exec-path::
|
|
Path to wherever your core git programs are installed.
|
|
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH
|
|
environment variable. If no path is given 'git' will print
|
|
the current setting and then exit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FURTHER DOCUMENTATION
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
See the references above to get started using git. The following is
|
|
probably more detail than necessary for a first-time user.
|
|
|
|
The <<Discussion,Discussion>> section below and the
|
|
link:core-tutorial.html[Core tutorial] both provide introductions to the
|
|
underlying git architecture.
|
|
|
|
See also the link:howto-index.html[howto] documents for some useful
|
|
examples.
|
|
|
|
GIT COMMANDS
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
We divide git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level
|
|
("plumbing") commands.
|
|
|
|
Low-level commands (plumbing)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Although git includes its
|
|
own porcelain layer, its low-level commands are sufficient to support
|
|
development of alternative porcelains. Developers of such porcelains
|
|
might start by reading about gitlink:git-update-index[1] and
|
|
gitlink:git-read-tree[1].
|
|
|
|
We divide the low-level commands into commands that manipulate objects (in
|
|
the repository, index, and working tree), commands that interrogate and
|
|
compare objects, and commands that move objects and references between
|
|
repositories.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration Mechanism
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Starting from 0.99.9 (actually mid 0.99.8.GIT), `.git/config` file
|
|
is used to hold per-repository configuration options. It is a
|
|
simple text file modelled after `.ini` format familiar to some
|
|
people. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
#
|
|
# A '#' or ';' character indicates a comment.
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
; core variables
|
|
[core]
|
|
; Don't trust file modes
|
|
filemode = false
|
|
|
|
; user identity
|
|
[user]
|
|
name = "Junio C Hamano"
|
|
email = "junkio@twinsun.com"
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Various commands read from the configuration file and adjust
|
|
their operation accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Identifier Terminology
|
|
----------------------
|
|
<object>::
|
|
Indicates the object name for any type of object.
|
|
|
|
<blob>::
|
|
Indicates a blob object name.
|
|
|
|
<tree>::
|
|
Indicates a tree object name.
|
|
|
|
<commit>::
|
|
Indicates a commit object name.
|
|
|
|
<tree-ish>::
|
|
Indicates a tree, commit or tag object name. A
|
|
command that takes a <tree-ish> argument ultimately wants to
|
|
operate on a <tree> object but automatically dereferences
|
|
<commit> and <tag> objects that point at a <tree>.
|
|
|
|
<type>::
|
|
Indicates that an object type is required.
|
|
Currently one of: `blob`, `tree`, `commit`, or `tag`.
|
|
|
|
<file>::
|
|
Indicates a filename - almost always relative to the
|
|
root of the tree structure `GIT_INDEX_FILE` describes.
|
|
|
|
Symbolic Identifiers
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Any git command accepting any <object> can also use the following
|
|
symbolic notation:
|
|
|
|
HEAD::
|
|
indicates the head of the current branch (i.e. the
|
|
contents of `$GIT_DIR/HEAD`).
|
|
|
|
<tag>::
|
|
a valid tag 'name'
|
|
(i.e. the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags/<tag>`).
|
|
|
|
<head>::
|
|
a valid head 'name'
|
|
(i.e. the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head>`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
File/Directory Structure

Please see link:repository-layout.html[repository layout] document.
|
|
|
|
Read link:hooks.html[hooks] for more details about each hook.
|
|
|
|
Higher level SCMs may provide and manage additional information in the
|
|
`$GIT_DIR`.

|
Environment Variables
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Various git commands use the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
The git Repository
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
These environment variables apply to 'all' core git commands. Nb: it
|
|
is worth noting that they may be used/overridden by SCMS sitting above
|
|
git so take care if using Cogito etc.
|
|
|
|
'GIT_INDEX_FILE'::
|
|
This environment allows the specification of an alternate
|
|
index file. If not specified, the default of `$GIT_DIR/index`
|
|
is used.
|
|
|
|
'GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY'::
|
|
If the object storage directory is specified via this
|
|
environment variable then the sha1 directories are created
|
|
underneath - otherwise the default `$GIT_DIR/objects`
|
|
directory is used.
|
|
|
|
'GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES'::
|
|
Due to the immutable nature of git objects, old objects can be
|
|
archived into shared, read-only directories. This variable
|
|
specifies a ":" separated list of git object directories which
|
|
can be used to search for git objects. New objects will not be
|
|
written to these directories.
|
|
|
|
'GIT_DIR'::
|
|
