completion: drop the hard coded list of config vars

2018-05-29T05:51:28Z

The new help option --config-for-completion is a machine friendlier version of --config where all the placeholders and wildcards are dropped, leaving only the good, completable prefixes for git-completion.bash to consume. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help: add --config to list all available config

2018-05-29T05:51:28Z

Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can search for something they want. The config man page can also be used but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name, for example. This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work. This will do for now.

help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides

2018-05-21T04:23:14Z

The help command currently hard codes the list of guides and their summary in C. Let's move this list to command-list.txt. This lets us extract summary lines from Documentation/git*.txt. This also potentially lets us list guides in git.txt, but I'll leave that for now. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsis

2018-05-21T04:23:14Z

This lists all recognized commands [1] by category. The group order follows closely git.txt. [1] We may actually show commands that are not built (e.g. if you set NO_PERL you don't have git-instaweb but it's still listed here). I ignore the problem because on Linux a git package could be split anyway. The "git-core" package may not contain git-instaweb even if it's built because it may end up in a separate package. We can't know anyway. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

exec_cmd: rename to use dash in file name

2018-04-11T09:11:00Z

This is more consistent with the project style. The majority of Git's source files use dashes in preference to underscores in their file names. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller

help: rename 'new' variables

Merge branch 'ks/help-alias-label'

2017-09-25T06:24:07Z

"git help co" now says "co is aliased to ...", not "git co is". * ks/help-alias-label: help: change a message to be more precise

help: change a message to be more precise

2017-09-14T06:01:47Z

When the user tries to use '--help' option on an aliased command information about the alias is printed as sshown below, $ git co --help `git co' is aliased to `checkout' This doesn't seem correct as the user has aliased only 'co' and not 'git co'. This might even be incorrect in cases in which the user has used an alias like 'tgit'. $ tgit co --help `git co' is aliased to `checkout' So, make the message more precise.
