We divide git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level
("plumbing") commands.
Low-level commands (plumbing)
-----------------------------
Although git includes its
own porcelain layer, its low-level commands are sufficient to support
development of alternative porcelains. Developers of such porcelains
might start by reading about gitlink:git-update-index[1] and
gitlink:git-read-tree[1].
We divide the low-level commands into commands that manipulate objects (in
the repository, index, and working tree), commands that interrogate and
compare objects, and commands that move objects and references between
repositories.
Manipulation commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gitlink:git-apply[1]::
Reads a "diff -up1" or git generated patch file and
applies it to the working tree.
gitlink:git-checkout-index[1]::
Copy files from the index to the working tree.
gitlink:git-commit-tree[1]::
Creates a new commit object.
gitlink:git-hash-object[1]::
Computes the object ID from a file.
gitlink:git-index-pack[1]::
Build pack idx file for an existing packed archive.
gitlink:git-init-db[1]::
Creates an empty git object database, or reinitialize an
existing one.
gitlink:git-merge-index[1]::
Runs a merge for files needing merging.
gitlink:git-mktag[1]::
Creates a tag object.
gitlink:git-mktree[1]::
Build a tree-object from ls-tree formatted text.
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]::
Creates a packed archive of objects.
gitlink:git-prune-packed[1]::
Remove extra objects that are already in pack files.
gitlink:git-read-tree[1]::
Reads tree information into the index.
gitlink:git-repo-config[1]::
Get and set options in .git/config.
gitlink:git-unpack-objects[1]::
Unpacks objects out of a packed archive.
gitlink:git-update-index[1]::
Registers files in the working tree to the index.
gitlink:git-write-tree[1]::
Creates a tree from the index.
Interrogation commands

gitlink:git-describe[1]::
Show the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
gitlink:git-diff-index[1]::
Compares content and mode of blobs between the index and repository.
gitlink:git-diff-files[1]::
Compares files in the working tree and the index.
gitlink:git-diff-stages[1]::
Compares two "merge stages" in the index.
gitlink:git-diff-tree[1]::
Compares the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects.
gitlink:git-for-each-ref[1]::
Output information on each ref.
gitlink:git-fsck-objects[1]::
Verifies the connectivity and validity of the objects in the database.
gitlink:git-ls-files[1]::
Information about files in the index and the working tree.
gitlink:git-ls-tree[1]::
Displays a tree object in human readable form.

Find symbolic names for given revs.
gitlink:git-pack-redundant[1]::
Find redundant pack files.
gitlink:git-rev-list[1]::
Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order.
gitlink:git-show-index[1]::
Displays contents of a pack idx file.
gitlink:git-tar-tree[1]::
Creates a tar archive of the files in the named tree object.

Creates a temporary file with a blob's contents.
gitlink:git-var[1]::
Displays a git logical variable.
gitlink:git-verify-pack[1]::

In general, the interrogate commands do not touch the files in
the working tree.

what are asked for.
