Romain Francoise	5059a42780	builtin-help: fallback to GIT_MAN_VIEWER before man In some situations it is useful to be able to switch viewers via the environment, e.g. in Emacs shell buffers. So check the GIT_MAN_VIEWER environment variable and try it before falling back to "man".

Jonathan Nieder	db5d6666af	manpages: use teletype font for sample command lines I think that some of these uses of italics were meant to be rendered in quotation marks, anyway. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	17 years ago
Jonathan Nieder	ba020ef5eb	manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font) The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.])\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git.txt config.txt diff.txt blame.txt fetch.txt i18n.txt \ merge.txt pretty.txt pull.txt rev.txt urls.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

Jonathan Nieder	467c0197fd	Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changes With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter. I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some spots.

Jonathan Nieder	483bc4f045	Documentation formatting and cleanup Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Stephan Beyer	3240240ff4	Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f\|--foo:: -f \| --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Christian Couder	9e1f0a85c6	documentation: move git(7) to git(1) As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

Jeff King	d7e522cffb	rename git-browse--help to git-help--browse The convention for helper scripts has been git-$TOOL--$HELPER.

Christian Couder	70087cdbd3	git-help: add "help.format" config variable. This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format used to display help. This format will be used only if no option like -a\|--all\|-i\|--info\|-m\|--man\|-w\|--web is passed to "git-help". The following values are possible for this variable: - "man" --> "man" program is used - "info" --> "info" program is used - "web" --> "git-browse-help" is used By default we still show help using "man". This patch also adds -m\|--man command line option to use "man" to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable. Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in "git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config variables in the global configuration file.
