Eckhard S. Maaß dc6b1d92ca wt-status: use settings from git_diff_ui_config If you do something like - git add . - git status - git commit - git show (or git diff HEAD) one would expect to have analogous output from git status and git show (or similar diff-related programs). This is generally not the case, as git status has hard coded values for diff related options. With this commit the hard coded settings are dropped from the status command in favour for values provided by git_diff_ui_config. What follows are some remarks on the concrete options which were hard coded in git status: diffopt.detect_rename Since the very beginning of git status in `a3e870f2e2` ("Add "commit" helper script", 2005-05-30), git status always used rename detection, whereas with commands like show and log one had to activate it with a command line option. After `5404c116aa` ("diff: activate diff.renames by default", 2016-02-25) the default behaves the same by coincidence, but changing diff.renames to other values can break the consistency between git status and other commands again. With this commit one control the same default behaviour with diff.renames. diffopt.rename_limit Similarly one has the option diff.renamelimit to adjust this limit for all commands but git status. With this commit git status will also honor those. diffopt.break_opt Unlike the other two options this cannot be configured by a configuration option yet. This commit will also change the default behaviour to not use break rewrites. But as rename detection is most likely on, this is dangerous to be activated anyway as one can see here: https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqegqaahnh.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com/ Signed-off-by: Eckhard S.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
