git/Documentation/tutorial.txt, branch v1.2.2

Documentation: finishing touches to the new tutorial.

We forgot to update the primary link from git.html leading to the tutorial, and also forgot to build and install the renamed core-tutorial document. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

New tutorial

2006-01-23T05:52:33Z

The current Documentation/tutorial.txt concentrates on the lower-level git interfaces. So it's useful to people developing alternative porcelains, to advanced users, etc., but not so much to beginning users. I think it makes sense for the main tutorial to address those beginnning users, so with this patch I'm proposing that we move Documentation/tutorial.txt to Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and replace it by a new tutorial.

show-branch: make the current branch and merge commits stand out.

2006-01-15T08:04:23Z

This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out. Also we show '-' for merge commits. When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it is easier to see which one is the current branch this way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: not learning core git commands.

2005-12-13T10:38:24Z

The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands" section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts, then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial. Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader. I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether, but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of sections that talk about refs and the object database in a hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there. I feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract without being aware of these directories and files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: shared repository management in tutorial.

2005-12-05T08:58:23Z

The branch policy script I outlined was improved and polished by Carl and posted on the list twice since then. It is a shame not to pick it up, so replace the original outline in howto/update-hook-example.txt with the latest from Carl. Also talk about setting up git-shell to allow git-push/git-fetch only SSH access to a shared repository host in the tutorial. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
