README.md: add CodingGuidelines and a link for Translators

2022-01-17T19:43:14Z

Before being told how to submit patches, new contributors need to be told how to code for, or how to contribute translation to, the project. Add references to the CodingGuidelines and the README document on localization. Also, split out the instructions to join the list and clarify that subscription is via the majordomo address. We use GitHub Markdown reference [2,3] with trailing empty square brackets, to match existing text in the file. On GitHub/GitLab pages, the footer references matching the empty [] are not shown on the web page. We could switch to using [text](url) form [1] if we wanted to, but that is not done as part of this patch.

CI: use shorter names that fit in UX tooltips

2021-11-24T00:51:53Z

Change the names used for the GitHub CI workflows to be short enough to (mostly) fit in the pop-up tool-tips that GitHub shows in the commit view. I.e. when mouse-clicking on the passing or failing check-mark next to the commit subject. These names are seemingly truncated to 17-20 characters followed by three dots ("..."). Since a "CI/PR / " prefix is added to them the job names looked like this before (windows-test and vs-test jobs omitted): CI/PR / ci-config (p... CI/PR / windows-buil... CI/PR / vs-build (pu... CI/PR / regular (lin... CI/PR / regular (lin... CI/PR / regular (os... CI/PR / regular (os... CI/PR / regular (lin... CI/PR / regular (lin... CI/PR / dockerized (... CI/PR / dockerized (... CI/PR / dockerized (... CI/PR / static-anal... CI/PR / sparse (pu... CI/PR / documenta... By omitting the "/PR" from the top-level name, and pushing the $jobname to the front we'll now instead get: CI / config (push) CI / win build (push... CI / win+VS build (... CI / linux-clang (ub...

CI / static-analysis... CI / sparse (push)... CI / documentation We then have no truncation in the expanded view. See [1] for how it looked before, [2] for a currently visible CI run using this commit, and [3] for the GitHub workflow syntax involved being changed here. Let's also use the existing "pool" field as before. It's occasionally useful to know we're running on say ubuntu v.s. fedora. The "-latest" suffix is useful to some[4], and since it's now at the end it doesn't hurt readability in the short view compared to saying "ubuntu" or "macos". 1. https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/ 2. https://github.com/avar/git/tree/avar/ci-rm-travis-cleanup-ci-names-3 3. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/d9b07ca5-b58d-a535-d25b-85d7f12e6295@github.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

ci: retire the Azure Pipelines definition

2020-04-10T17:30:40Z

We have GitHub Actions now. Running the same builds and tests in Azure Pipelines would be redundant, and a waste of energy. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Đoàn Trần Công Danh Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: recommend lore.kernel.org over public-inbox.org

2019-11-30T17:12:04Z

Since lore.kernel.org now has the same archive as public-inbox.org and may have more longevity going forward[1], let's recommend people use it for finding or referencing messages.

README: fix rendering of text in angle brackets

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.

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.
