SYNOPSIS

--------
|
|
'git-<command>' <args>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This is reference information for the core git commands.
|
|
|
|
Before reading this cover to cover, you may want to take a look
|
|
at the link:tutorial.html[tutorial] document.
|
|
|
|
The <<Discussion>> section below contains much useful definition and
|
|
clarification info - read that first. And of the commands, I suggest
|
|
reading gitlink:git-update-index[1] and
|
|
gitlink:git-read-tree[1] first - I wish I had!
|
|
|
|
If you are migrating from CVS, link:cvs-migration.html[cvs migration]
|
|
document may be helpful after you finish the tutorial.
|
|
|
|
After you get the general feel from the tutorial and this
|
|
overview page, you may want to take a look at the
|
|
link:howto-index.html[howto] documents.

Commands Overview
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The git commands can helpfully be split into those that manipulate
|
|
the repository, the cache and the working fileset, those that
|
|
interrogate and compare them, and those that moves objects and
|
|
references between repositories.
|
|
|
|
In addition, git itself comes with a spartan set of porcelain
|
|
commands. They are usable but are not meant to compete with real
|
|
Porcelains.
|
|
|
|
There are also some ancillary programs that can be viewed as useful
|
|
aids for using the core commands but which are unlikely to be used by
|
|
SCMs layered over git.

|
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:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
#
|
|
# This is the config file, and
|
|
# 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 sha1 identifier for any type of object
|
|
|
|
<blob>::
|
|
Indicates a blob object sha1 identifier
|
|
|
|
<tree>::
|
|
Indicates a tree object sha1 identifier
|
|
|
|
<commit>::
|
|
Indicates a commit object sha1 identifier
|
|
|
|
<tree-ish>::
|
|
Indicates a tree, commit or tag object sha1 identifier. 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/tag
|
|
|
|
<file>::
|
|
Indicates a filename - 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 repository (ie the contents of
|
|
`$GIT_DIR/HEAD`)
|
|
<tag>::
|
|
a valid tag 'name'+
|
|
(ie the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags/<tag>`)
|
|
<head>::
|
|
a valid head 'name'+
|
|
(ie the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head>`)
|
|
<snap>::
|
|
a valid snapshot 'name'+
|
|
(ie the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/snap/<snap>`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
File/Directory Structure
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Please see link:repository-layout.html[repository layout] document.
|
|
|
|
Higher level SCMs may provide and manage additional information in the
|
|
GIT_DIR.
|
|
|

|
|
Please see link:glossary.html[glossary] document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
cache/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'::
|
|
If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies
|
|
a path to use instead of `./.git` for the base of the
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
git Commits
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME'::
|
|
'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL'::
|
|
'GIT_AUTHOR_DATE'::
|
|
'GIT_COMMITTER_NAME'::
|
|
'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL'::
|
|
see gitlink:git-commit-tree[1]
|
|
|
|
git Diffs
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
'GIT_DIFF_OPTS'::
|
|
'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'::
|
|
see the "generating patches" section in :
|
|
gitlink:git-diff-index[1];
|
|
gitlink:git-diff-files[1];
