doc: promote "git restore"

2019-05-07T04:04:48Z

The new command "git restore" (together with "git switch") are added to avoid the confusion of one-command-do-all "git checkout" for new users. They are also helpful to avoid ambiguous context. For these reasons, promote it everywhere possible. This includes documentation, suggestions/advice from other commands. One nice thing about git-restore is the ability to restore "everything", so it can be used in "git status" advice instead of both "git checkout" and "git reset". The three commands suggested by "git status" are add, rm and restore. "git checkout" is also removed from "git help" (i.e. it's no longer considered a commonly used command) Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: unify bottom "part of git suite" lines

2017-02-09T23:14:01Z

We currently have 168 man pages that mention they are part of Git, you can check yourself easily via: $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite" |wc -l 168 However some have a trailing period, i.e. $ git grep "Part of the linkgit:git\[1\] suite." |wc -l 8 Unify the bottom line in all man pages to not end with a period.

doc: add 'everyday' to 'git help'

2014-10-10T23:02:26Z

The "Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So" is not accessible via the Git help system. Move everyday.txt to giteveryday.txt so that "git help everyday" works, and create a new placeholder file everyday.html to refer people who follow existing URLs to the updated location. giteveryday.txt now formats well with AsciiDoc as a man page and refreshed content to a more command modern style. Add 'everyday' to the help --guides list and update git(1) and 5 other links to giteveryday. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

The name of the hash function is "SHA-1", not "SHA1"

2013-04-15T18:08:37Z

Use "SHA-1" instead of "SHA1" whenever we talk about the hash function. When used as a programming symbol, we keep "SHA1". Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Use correct grammar in diffstat summary line

2012-02-04T07:19:42Z

"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line "%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted unless they are both zero. This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced their output, and also makes this line translatable.

Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections

2011-07-06T21:26:26Z

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. Signed-off-by: Martin von Zweigbergk Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Better "Changed but not updated" message in git-status

2010-11-03T16:18:58Z

Older Gits talked about "updating" a file to add its content to the index, but this terminology is confusing for new users. "to stage" is far more intuitive and already used in e.g. the "git stage" command name. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
