README: fix rendering of text in angle brackets

2019-07-18T21:47:46Z

Markdown incorrectly interpreted `` as an HTML tag; use backticks to escape `Documentation/git-.txt` to ensure that it renders the text as intended. Signed-off-by: Doug Ilijev Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

README: adjust for final Azure Pipeline ID

2019-02-24T05:27:04Z

During the six months of development of the Azure Pipelines support, the patches went through quite a few iterations of changes, and to test those iterations, a temporary build definition was used. In the meantime, Azure Pipelines support made it to `master`, and we now have a regular Azure Pipeline, installed via the common GitHub App workflow. This new pipeline has a different name (git.git instead of test-git.git), and a new ID (11 instead of 2). Let's adjust the badge in our README to reflect that final shape of the Azure Pipeline.

README: add a build badge (status of the Azure Pipelines build)

2019-01-29T17:26:47Z

Just like so many other OSS projects, we now also have a build badge. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

note git-security@googlegroups.com in more places

2018-06-01T00:24:11Z

Add a mention of the security mailing list to the README, and to Documentation/SubmittingPatches.. 2caa7b8d27 ("git manpage: note git-security@googlegroups.com", 2018-03-08) already added it to the man page, but for developers either the README, or the documentation on how to contribute (SubmittingPatches) may be the first place to look. Use the same wording as we already have on the git-scm.com website and in the man page for the README, while the wording is adjusted in SubmittingPatches to match the surrounding document better.

README: create HTTP/HTTPS links from URLs in Markdown

2017-03-01T22:45:45Z

Markdown supports automatic links by surrounding URLs with angle brackets, as documented in While we're at it, update URLs to avoid redirecting clients for git-scm.com (by using HTTPS) and public-inbox.org (by adding a trailing slash). Signed-off-by: Eric Wong Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

README: replace gmane link with public-inbox

2016-12-15T17:30:09Z

The general status and future of gmane is unclear at this point, but certainly it does not seem to be carrying gmane.comp.version-control.git at all anymore. Let's point to public-inbox.org, which seems to be the favored archive on the list these days (and which uses message-ids in its URLs, making the links somewhat future-proof).

README.md: format CLI commands with code syntax

2016-05-31T15:54:24Z

CLI commands which are mentioned in the readme are now formatted with the Markdown code syntax to make the documentation more readable. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Dopplinger Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

README.md: don't take 'commandname' literally

2016-04-03T17:12:48Z

The link to Documentation/git-commandname.txt was obviously broken. Remove the link and make it clear that it is not a literal path name by using *italics* in makdown. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

README.md: move down historical explanation about the name

2016-02-25T17:33:58Z

The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to the description and link to the documentation. Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary. This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of mind of current developers.

README.md: don't call git stupid in the title

2016-02-25T17:33:58Z

"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes Git more accuralety. Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it in the very first words of the README. The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.
