We will use the "simple" semantics that pushes the +current branch to the branch with the same name, only when the current +branch is set to integrate with that remote branch. There is a user +preference configuration variable "push.default" to change this, and +"git push" will warn about the upcoming change until you set this +variable in this release. + +"git branch --set-upstream" is deprecated and may be removed in a +relatively distant future. "git branch [-u|--set-upstream-to]" has +been introduced with a saner order of arguments to replace it. + + +Updates since v1.8.0 +-------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * Command-line completion scripts for tcsh and zsh have been added. + + * "git-prompt" scriptlet (in contrib/completion) can be told to paint + pieces of the hints in the prompt string in colors. + + * Some documentation pages that used to ship only in the plain text + format are now formatted in HTML as well. + + * We used to have a workaround for a bug in ancient "less" that + causes it to exit without any output when the terminal is resized. + The bug has been fixed in "less" version 406 (June 2007), and the + workaround has been removed in this release. + + * When "git checkout" checks out a branch, it tells the user how far + behind (or ahead) the new branch is relative to the remote tracking + branch it builds upon. The message now also advises how to sync + them up by pushing or pulling. This can be disabled with the + advice.statusHints configuration variable. + + * "git config --get" used to diagnose presence of multiple + definitions of the same variable in the same configuration file as + an error, but it now applies the "last one wins" rule used by the + internal configuration logic. Strictly speaking, this may be an + API regression but it is expected that nobody will notice it in + practice. + + * A new configuration variable "diff.context" can be used to + give the default number of context lines in the patch output, to + override the hardcoded default of 3 lines. + + * "git format-patch" learned the "--notes=<ref>" option to give + notes for the commit after the three-dash lines in its output. + + * "git log -p -S<string>" now looks for the <string> after applying + the textconv filter (if defined); earlier it inspected the contents + of the blobs without filtering. + + * "git log --grep=<pcre>" learned to honor the "grep.patterntype" + configuration set to "perl". + + * "git replace -d <object>" now interprets <object> as an extended + SHA-1 (e.g. HEAD~4 is allowed), instead of only accepting full hex + object name. + + * "git rm $submodule" used to punt on removing a submodule working + tree to avoid losing the repository embedded in it. Because + recent git uses a mechanism to separate the submodule repository + from the submodule working tree, "git rm" learned to detect this + case and removes the submodule working tree when it is safe to do so. + + * "git send-email" used to prompt for the sender address, even when + the committer identity is well specified (e.g. via user.name and + user.email configuration variables). The command no longer gives + this prompt when not necessary. + + * "git send-email" did not allow non-address garbage strings to + appear after addresses on Cc: lines in the patch files (and when + told to pick them up to find more recipients), e.g. + + Cc: Stable Kernel <stable@k.org> # for v3.2 and up + + The command now strips " # for v3.2 and up" part before adding the + remainder of this line to the list of recipients. + + * "git submodule add" learned to add a new submodule at the same + path as the path where an unrelated submodule was bound to in an + existing revision via the "--name" option. + + * "git submodule sync" learned the "--recursive" option. + + * "diff.submodule" configuration variable can be used to give custom + default value to the "git diff --submodule" option. + + * "git symbolic-ref" learned the "-d $symref" option to delete the + named symbolic ref, which is more intuitive way to spell it than + "update-ref -d --no-deref $symref". + + +Foreign Interface + + * "git cvsimport" can be told to record timezones (other than GMT) + per-author via its author info file. + + * The remote helper interface to interact with subversion + repositories (one of the GSoC 2012 projects) has been merged. + + * A new remote-helper interface for Mercurial has been added to + contrib/remote-helpers. + + * The documentation for git(1) was pointing at a page at an external + site for the list of authors that no longer existed.

It should be read alongside api-builtin.txt. +Content-type: text/asciidoc + +How to integrate new subcommands +================================ + +This is how-to documentation for people who want to add extension +commands to git. It should be read alongside api-builtin.txt. + +Runtime environment +------------------- + +git subcommands are standalone executables that live in the git exec +path, normally /usr/lib/git-core. The git executable itself is a +thin wrapper that knows where the subcommands live, and runs them by +passing command-line arguments to them. + +(If "git foo" is not found in the git exec path, the wrapper +will look in the rest of your $PATH for it. Thus, it's possible +to write local git extensions that don't live in system space.) + +Implementation languages +------------------------ + +Most subcommands are written in C or shell. A few are written in +Perl. + +While we strongly encourage coding in portable C for portability, +these specific scripting languages are also acceptable. We won't +accept more without a very strong technical case, as we don't want +to broaden the git suite's required dependencies. Import utilities, +surgical tools, remote helpers and other code at the edges of the +git suite are more lenient and we allow Python (and even Tcl/tk), +but they should not be used for core functions. + +This may change in the future. Especially Python is not allowed in +core because we need better Python integration in the git Windows +installer before we can be confident people in that environment +won't experience an unacceptably large loss of capability. + +C commands are normally written as single modules, named after the +command, that link a collection of functions called libgit. Thus, +your command 'git-foo' would normally be implemented as a single +"git-foo.c" (or "builtin/foo.c" if it is to be linked to the main +binary); this organization makes it easy for people reading the code +to find things. + +See the CodingGuidelines document for other guidance on what we consider +good practice in C and shell, and api-builtin.txt for the support +functions available to built-in commands written in C. + +What every extension command needs +---------------------------------- + +You must have a man page, written in asciidoc (this is what git help +followed by your subcommand name will display). Be aware that there is +a local asciidoc configuration and macros which you should use. It's +often helpful to start by cloning an existing page and replacing the +text content. + +You must have a test, written to report in TAP (Test Anything Protocol). +Tests are executables (usually shell scripts) that live in the 't' +subdirectory of the tree. Each test name begins with 't' and a sequence +number that controls where in the test sequence it will be executed; +conventionally the rest of the name stem is that of the command +being tested. + +Read the file t/README to learn more about the conventions to be used +in writing tests, and the test support library. + +Integrating a command +--------------------- + +Here are the things you need to do when you want to merge a new +subcommand into the git tree. + +1. Don't forget to sign off your patch! + +2. Append your command name to one of the variables BUILTIN_OBJS, +EXTRA_PROGRAMS, SCRIPT_SH, SCRIPT_PERL or SCRIPT_PYTHON. + +3. Drop its test in the t directory. + +4. If your command is implemented in an interpreted language with a +p-code intermediate form, make sure .gitignore in the main directory +includes a pattern entry that ignores such files. Python .pyc and +.pyo files will already be covered. + +5. If your command has any dependency on a particular version of +your language, document it in the INSTALL file. + +6. There is a file command-list.txt in the distribution main directory +that categorizes commands by type, so they can be listed in appropriate +subsections in the documentation's summary command list.

Você também -pode obter um breve sumário da situação com 'git-status': - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git status -# On branch master -# Changes to be committed: -# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) -# -# modified: file1 -# modified: file2 -# modified: file3 -# ------------------------------------------------- - -Se você precisar fazer qualquer outro ajuste, faça-o agora, e, então, -adicione qualquer conteúdo modificado ao índice. Finalmente, grave suas -mudanças com: - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git commit ------------------------------------------------- - -Ao executar esse comando, ele irá te pedir uma mensagem descrevendo a mudança, -e, então, irá gravar a nova versão do projeto. - -Alternativamente, ao invés de executar 'git-add' antes, você pode usar - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git commit -a ------------------------------------------------- - -o que irá automaticamente notar quaisquer arquivos modificados (mas não -novos), adicioná-los ao índices, e gravar, tudo em um único passo. - -Uma nota em mensagens de commit: Apesar de não ser exigido, é uma boa -idéia começar a mensagem com uma simples e curta (menos de 50 -caracteres) linha sumarizando a mudança, seguida de uma linha em branco -e, então, uma descrição mais detalhada. Ferramentas que transformam -commits em email, por exemplo, usam a primeira linha no campo de -cabeçalho "Subject:" e o resto no corpo. - -Git rastreia conteúdo, não arquivos ----------------------------- - -Muitos sistemas de controle de revisão provêem um comando `add` que diz -ao sistema para começar a rastrear mudanças em um novo arquivo. O -comando `add` do git faz algo mais simples e mais poderoso: 'git-add' é -usado tanto para arquivos novos e arquivos recentemente modificados, e -em ambos os casos, ele tira o instantâneo dos arquivos dados e armazena -o conteúdo no índice, pronto para inclusão do próximo commit. - -Visualizando a história do projeto ------------------------ - -Em qualquer ponto você pode visualizar a história das suas mudanças -usando - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git log ------------------------------------------------- - -Se você também quiser ver a diferença completa a cada passo, use - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git log -p ------------------------------------------------- - -Geralmente, uma visão geral da mudança é útil para ter a sensação de -cada passo - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git log --stat --summary ------------------------------------------------- - -Gerenciando "branches"/ramos ------------------ - -Um simples repositório git pode manter múltiplos ramos de -desenvolvimento. Para criar um novo ramo chamado "experimental", use - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git branch experimental ------------------------------------------------- - -Se você executar agora - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git branch ------------------------------------------------- - -você vai obter uma lista de todos os ramos existentes: - ------------------------------------------------- - experimental -* master ------------------------------------------------- - -O ramo "experimental" é o que você acaba de criar, e o ramo "master" é o -ramo padrão que foi criado pra você automaticamente. O asterisco marca -o ramo em que você está atualmente; digite - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git checkout experimental ------------------------------------------------- - -para mudar para o ramo experimental. Agora edite um arquivo, grave a -mudança, e mude de volta para o ramo master: - ------------------------------------------------- -(edita arquivo) -$ git commit -a -$ git checkout master ------------------------------------------------- - -Verifique que a mudança que você fez não está mais visível, já que ela -foi feita no ramo experimental e você está de volta ao ramo master. - -Você pode fazer uma mudança diferente no ramo master: - ------------------------------------------------- -(edit file) -$ git commit -a ------------------------------------------------- - -neste ponto, os dois ramos divergiram, com diferentes mudanças feitas em -cada um. Para unificar as mudanças feitas no experimental para o -master, execute - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git merge experimental ------------------------------------------------- - -Se as mudanças não conflitarem, estará pronto. Se existirem conflitos, -marcadores serão deixados nos arquivos problemáticos exibindo o -conflito; - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git diff ------------------------------------------------- - -vai exibir isto. Após você editar os arquivos para resolver os -conflitos, - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git commit -a ------------------------------------------------- - -irá gravar o resultado da unificação. Finalmente, - ------------------------------------------------- -$ gitk ------------------------------------------------- - -vai mostrar uma bela representação gráfica da história resultante. - -Neste ponto você pode remover seu ramo experimental com - ------------------------------------------------- -$ git branch -d experimental ------------------------------------------------- - -Este comando garante que as mudanças no ramo experimental já estão no -ramo atual. - -Se você desenvolve em um ramo ideia-louca, e se arrepende, você pode -sempre remover o ramo com - -------------------------------------- -$ git branch -D ideia-louca -------------------------------------- - -Ramos são baratos e fáceis, então isto é uma boa maneira de experimentar -alguma coisa. - -Usando git para colaboração ---------------------------- - -Suponha que Alice começou um novo projeto com um repositório git em -/home/alice/project, e que Bob, que tem um diretório home na mesma -máquina, quer contribuir. - -Bob começa com: - ------------------------------------------------- -bob$ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo ------------------------------------------------- - -Isso cria um novo diretório "myrepo" contendo um clone do repositório de -Alice. O clone está no mesmo pé que o projeto original, possuindo sua -própria cópia da história do projeto original. - -Bob então faz algumas mudanças e as grava: - ------------------------------------------------- -(editar arquivos) -bob$ git commit -a -(repetir conforme necessário) ------------------------------------------------- - -Quanto está pronto, ele diz a Alice para puxar as mudanças do -repositório em /home/bob/myrepo. Ela o faz com: - ------------------------------------------------- -alice$ cd /home/alice/project -alice$ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master ------------------------------------------------- - -Isto unifica as mudanças do ramo "master" do Bob ao ramo atual de Alice. -Se Alice fez suas próprias mudanças no intervalo, ela, então, pode -precisar corrigir manualmente quaisquer conflitos. (Note que o argumento -"master" no comando acima é, de fato, desnecessário, já que é o padrão.) - -O comando "pull" executa, então, duas operações: ele obtém mudanças de -um ramo remoto, e, então, as unifica no ramo atual. - -Note que, em geral, Alice gostaria que suas mudanças locais fossem -gravadas antes de iniciar este "pull". Se o trabalho de Bob conflita -com o que Alice fez desde que suas histórias se ramificaram, Alice irá -usar seu diretório de trabalho e o índice para resolver conflitos, e -mudanças locais existentes irão interferir com o processo de resolução -de conflitos (git ainda irá realizar a obtenção mas irá se recusar a -unificar --- Alice terá que se livrar de suas mudanças locais de alguma -forma e puxar de novo quando isso acontecer). - -Alice pode espiar o que Bob fez sem unificar primeiro, usando o comando -"fetch"; isto permite Alice inspecionar o que Bob fez, usando um símbolo -especial "FETCH_HEAD", com o fim de determinar se ele tem alguma coisa -que vale puxar, assim: - ------------------------------------------------- -alice$ git fetch /home/bob/myrepo master -alice$ git log -p HEAD..FETCH_HEAD ------------------------------------------------- - -Esta operação é segura mesmo se Alice tem mudanças locais não gravadas. -A notação de intervalo "HEAD..FETCH_HEAD" significa mostrar tudo que é -alcançável de FETCH_HEAD mas exclua tudo o que é alcançável de HEAD. -Alice já sabe tudo que leva a seu estado atual (HEAD), e revisa o que Bob -tem em seu estado (FETCH_HEAD) que ela ainda não viu com esse comando. - -Se Alice quer visualizar o que Bob fez desde que suas histórias se -ramificaram, ela pode disparar o seguinte comando: - ------------------------------------------------- -$ gitk HEAD..FETCH_HEAD ------------------------------------------------- - -Isto usa a mesma notação de intervalo que vimos antes com 'git log'. - -Alice pode querer ver o que ambos fizeram desde que ramificaram. Ela -pode usar a forma com três pontos ao invés da forma com dois pontos: - ------------------------------------------------- -$ gitk HEAD...FETCH_HEAD ------------------------------------------------- - -Isto significa "mostre tudo que é alcançável de qualquer um deles, mas -exclua tudo que é alcançável a partir de ambos". - -Por favor, note que essas notações de intervalo podem ser usadas tanto -com gitk quanto com "git log". - -Após inspecionar o que Bob fez, se não há nada urgente, Alice pode -decidir continuar trabalhando sem puxar de Bob. Se a história de Bob -tem alguma coisa que Alice precisa imediatamente, Alice pode optar por -separar seu trabalho em progresso primeiro, fazer um "pull", e, então, -finalmente, retomar seu trabalho em progresso em cima da história -resultante. - -Quando você está trabalhando em um pequeno grupo unido, não é incomum -interagir com o mesmo repositório várias e várias vezes. Definindo um -repositório remoto antes de tudo, você pode fazê-lo mais facilmente: - ------------------------------------------------- -alice$ git remote add bob /home/bob/myrepo ------------------------------------------------- - -Com isso, Alice pode executar a primeira parte da operação "pull" usando -o comando 'git-fetch' sem unificar suas mudanças com seu próprio ramo, -usando: - -------------------------------------- -alice$ git fetch bob -------------------------------------- - -Diferente da forma longa, quando Alice obteve de Bob usando um -repositório remoto antes definido com 'git-remote', o que foi obtido é -armazenado em um ramo remoto, neste caso `bob/master`. Então, após isso: - -------------------------------------- -alice$ git log -p master..bob/master -------------------------------------- - -mostra uma lista de todas as mudanças que Bob fez desde que ramificou do -ramo master de Alice. - -Após examinar essas mudanças, Alice pode unificá-las em seu ramo master: - -------------------------------------- -alice$ git merge bob/master -------------------------------------- - -Esse `merge` pode também ser feito puxando de seu próprio ramo remoto, -assim: - -------------------------------------- -alice$ git pull . remotes/bob/master -------------------------------------- - -Note que 'git pull' sempre unifica ao ramo atual, independente do que -mais foi passado na linha de comando. - -Depois, Bob pode atualizar seu repositório com as últimas mudanças de -Alice, usando - -------------------------------------- -bob$ git pull -------------------------------------- - -Note que ele não precisa dar o caminho do repositório de Alice; quando -Bob clonou seu repositório, o git armazenou a localização de seu -repositório na configuração do mesmo, e essa localização é usada -para puxar: - -------------------------------------- -bob$ git config --get remote.origin.url -/home/alice/project -------------------------------------- - -(A configuração completa criada por 'git-clone' é visível usando `git -config -l`, e a página de manual linkgit:git-config[1] explica o -significado de cada opção.) - -Git também mantém uma cópia limpa do ramo master de Alice sob o nome -"origin/master": - -------------------------------------- -bob$ git branch -r - origin/master -------------------------------------- - -Se Bob decidir depois em trabalhar em um host diferente, ele ainda pode -executar clones e puxar usando o protocolo ssh: - -------------------------------------- -bob$ git clone alice.org:/home/alice/project myrepo -------------------------------------- - -Alternativamente, o git tem um protocolo nativo, ou pode usar rsync ou -http; veja linkgit:git-pull[1] para detalhes. - -Git pode também ser usado em um modo parecido com CVS, com um -repositório central para o qual vários usuários empurram modificações; -veja linkgit:git-push[1] e linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7]. - -Explorando história ------------------ - -A história no git é representada como uma série de commits -interrelacionados. Nós já vimos que o comando 'git-log' pode listar -esses commits. Note que a primeira linha de cada entrada no log também -dá o nome para o commit: - -------------------------------------- -$ git log -commit c82a22c39cbc32576f64f5c6b3f24b99ea8149c7 -Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> -Date: Tue May 16 17:18:22 2006 -0700 - - merge-base: Clarify the comments on post processing. -------------------------------------- - -Nós podemos dar este nome ao 'git-show' para ver os detalhes sobre este -commit. - -------------------------------------- -$ git show c82a22c39cbc32576f64f5c6b3f24b99ea8149c7 -------------------------------------- - -Mas há outras formas de se referir aos commits. Você pode usar qualquer -parte inicial do nome que seja longo o bastante para identificar -unicamente o commit: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show c82a22c39c # os primeiros caracteres do nome são o bastante - # usualmente -$ git show HEAD # a ponta do ramo atual -$ git show experimental # a ponta do ramo "experimental" -------------------------------------- - -Todo commit normalmente tem um commit "pai" que aponta para o estado -anterior do projeto: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show HEAD^ # para ver o pai de HEAD -$ git show HEAD^^ # para ver o avô de HEAD -$ git show HEAD~4 # para ver o trisavô de HEAD -------------------------------------- - -Note que commits de unificação podem ter mais de um pai: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show HEAD^1 # mostra o primeiro pai de HEAD (o mesmo que HEAD^) -$ git show HEAD^2 # mostra o segundo pai de HEAD -------------------------------------- - -Você também pode dar aos commits nomes à sua escolha; após executar - -------------------------------------- -$ git tag v2.5 1b2e1d63ff -------------------------------------- - -você pode se referir a 1b2e1d63ff pelo nome "v2.5". Se você pretende -compartilhar esse nome com outras pessoas (por exemplo, para identificar -uma versão de lançamento), você deveria criar um objeto "tag", e talvez -assiná-lo; veja linkgit:git-tag[1] para detalhes. - -Qualquer comando git que precise conhecer um commit pode receber -quaisquer desses nomes. Por exemplo: - -------------------------------------- -$ git diff v2.5 HEAD # compara o HEAD atual com v2.5 -$ git branch stable v2.5 # inicia um novo ramo chamado "stable" baseado - # em v2.5 -$ git reset --hard HEAD^ # reseta seu ramo atual e seu diretório de - # trabalho a seu estado em HEAD^ -------------------------------------- - -Seja cuidadoso com o último comando: além de perder quaisquer mudanças -em seu diretório de trabalho, ele também remove todos os commits -posteriores desse ramo. Se esse ramo é o único ramo contendo esses -commits, eles serão perdidos. Também, não use 'git-reset' num ramo -publicamente visível de onde outros desenvolvedores puxam, já que vai -forçar unificações desnecessárias para que outros desenvolvedores limpem -a história. Se você precisa desfazer mudanças que você empurrou, use -'git-revert' no lugar. - -O comando 'git-grep' pode buscar strings em qualquer versão de seu -projeto, então - -------------------------------------- -$ git grep "hello" v2.5 -------------------------------------- - -procura por todas as ocorrências de "hello" em v2.5. - -Se você deixar de fora o nome do commit, 'git-grep' irá procurar -quaisquer dos arquivos que ele gerencia no diretório corrente. Então - -------------------------------------- -$ git grep "hello" -------------------------------------- - -é uma forma rápida de buscar somente os arquivos que são rastreados pelo -git. - -Muitos comandos git também recebem um conjunto de commits, o que pode -ser especificado de várias formas. Aqui estão alguns exemplos com 'git-log': - -------------------------------------- -$ git log v2.5..v2.6 # commits entre v2.5 e v2.6 -$ git log v2.5.. # commits desde v2.5 -$ git log --since="2 weeks ago" # commits das últimas 2 semanas -$ git log v2.5.. Makefile # commits desde v2.5 que modificam - # Makefile -------------------------------------- - -Você também pode dar ao 'git-log' um "intervalo" de commits onde o -primeiro não é necessariamente um ancestral do segundo; por exemplo, se -as pontas dos ramos "stable" e "master" divergiram de um commit -comum algum tempo atrás, então - -------------------------------------- -$ git log stable..master -------------------------------------- - -irá listar os commits feitos no ramo "master" mas não no ramo -"stable", enquanto - -------------------------------------- -$ git log master..stable -------------------------------------- - -irá listar a lista de commits feitos no ramo "stable" mas não no ramo -"master". - -O comando 'git-log' tem uma fraqueza: ele precisa mostrar os commits em -uma lista. Quando a história tem linhas de desenvolvimento que -divergiram e então foram unificadas novamente, a ordem em que 'git-log' -apresenta essas mudanças é irrelevante. - -A maioria dos projetos com múltiplos contribuidores (como o kernel -Linux, ou o próprio git) tem unificações frequentes, e 'gitk' faz um -trabalho melhor de visualizar sua história. Por exemplo, - -------------------------------------- -$ gitk --since="2 weeks ago" drivers/ -------------------------------------- - -permite a você navegar em quaisquer commits desde as últimas duas semanas -de commits que modificaram arquivos sob o diretório "drivers". (Nota: -você pode ajustar as fontes do gitk segurando a tecla control enquanto -pressiona "-" ou "+".) - -Finalmente, a maioria dos comandos que recebem nomes de arquivo permitirão -também, opcionalmente, preceder qualquer nome de arquivo por um -commit, para especificar uma versão particular do arquivo: - -------------------------------------- -$ git diff v2.5:Makefile HEAD:Makefile.in -------------------------------------- - -Você pode usar 'git-show' para ver tal arquivo: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show v2.5:Makefile -------------------------------------- - -Próximos passos ----------- - -Este tutorial deve ser o bastante para operar controle de revisão -distribuído básico para seus projetos. No entanto, para entender -plenamente a profundidade e o poder do git você precisa entender duas -idéias simples nas quais ele se baseia: - - * A base de objetos é um sistema bem elegante usado para armazenar a - história de seu projeto--arquivos, diretórios, e commits. - - * O arquivo de índice é um cache do estado de uma árvore de diretório, - usado para criar commits, restaurar diretórios de trabalho, e - armazenar as várias árvores envolvidas em uma unificação. - -A parte dois deste tutorial explica a base de objetos, o arquivo de -índice, e algumas outras coisinhas que você vai precisar pra usar o -máximo do git. Você pode encontrá-la em linkgit:gittutorial-2[7]. - -Se você não quiser continuar com o tutorial agora nesse momento, algumas -outras digressões que podem ser interessantes neste ponto são: - - * linkgit:git-format-patch[1], linkgit:git-am[1]: Estes convertem - séries de commits em patches para email, e vice-versa, úteis para - projetos como o kernel Linux que dependem fortemente de patches - enviados por email. - - * linkgit:git-bisect[1]: Quando há uma regressão em seu projeto, uma - forma de rastrear um bug é procurando pela história para encontrar o - commit culpado. Git bisect pode ajudar a executar uma busca binária - por esse commit. Ele é inteligente o bastante para executar uma - busca próxima da ótima mesmo no caso de uma história complexa - não-linear com muitos ramos unificados. - - * link:everyday.html[GIT diariamente com 20 e tantos comandos] - - * linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7]: Git para usuários de CVS. - -VEJA TAMBÉM --------- -linkgit:gittutorial-2[7], -linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7], -linkgit:gitcore-tutorial[7], -linkgit:gitglossary[7], -linkgit:git-help[1], -link:everyday.html[git diariamente], -link:user-manual.html[O Manual do Usuário git] - -GIT ---- -Parte da suite linkgit:git[1]. diff --git a/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt b/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt index ee49743..1ec14a0 100644 --- a/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt +++ b/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt @@ -79,6 +79,11 @@ if it is part of the log message.
