2020-04-10ci: retire the Azure Pipelines definitionJohannes Schindelin
We have GitHub Actions now. Running the same builds and tests in Azure Pipelines would be redundant, and a waste of energy. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Đoàn Trần Công Danh <congdanhqx@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-11-30doc: recommend lore.kernel.org over public-inbox.orgJeff King
Since lore.kernel.org now has the same archive as public-inbox.org and may have more longevity going forward[1], let's recommend people use it for finding or referencing messages. [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/20191120195556.GA25189@dcvr/ or if you like: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191120195556.GA25189@dcvr/ Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Acked-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-07-18README: fix rendering of text in angle bracketsDoug Ilijev
Markdown incorrectly interpreted `<commandname>` as an HTML tag; use backticks to escape `Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt` to ensure that it renders the text as intended. Signed-off-by: Doug Ilijev <doug.ilijev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-02-24README: adjust for final Azure Pipeline IDJohannes Schindelin
During the six months of development of the Azure Pipelines support, the patches went through quite a few iterations of changes, and to test those iterations, a temporary build definition was used. In the meantime, Azure Pipelines support made it to `master`, and we now have a regular Azure Pipeline, installed via the common GitHub App workflow. This new pipeline has a different name (git.git instead of test-git.git), and a new ID (11 instead of 2). Let's adjust the badge in our README to reflect that final shape of the Azure Pipeline.

2019-01-29README: add a build badge (status of the Azure Pipelines build)Johannes Schindelin
Just like so many other OSS projects, we now also have a build badge. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-06-01note git-security@googlegroups.com in more placesThomas Gummerer
Add a mention of the security mailing list to the README, and to Documentation/SubmittingPatches.. 2caa7b8d27 ("git manpage: note git-security@googlegroups.com", 2018-03-08) already added it to the man page, but for developers either the README, or the documentation on how to contribute (SubmittingPatches) may be the first place to look. Use the same wording as we already have on the git-scm.com website and in the man page for the README, while the wording is adjusted in SubmittingPatches to match the surrounding document better.

2017-03-01README: create HTTP/HTTPS links from URLs in MarkdownEric Wong
Markdown supports automatic links by surrounding URLs with angle brackets, as documented in <https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink> While we're at it, update URLs to avoid redirecting clients for git-scm.com (by using HTTPS) and public-inbox.org (by adding a trailing slash).

2016-12-15README: replace gmane link with public-inboxJeff King
The general status and future of gmane is unclear at this point, but certainly it does not seem to be carrying gmane.comp.version-control.git at all anymore. Let's point to public-inbox.org, which seems to be the favored archive on the list these days (and which uses message-ids in its URLs, making the links somewhat future-proof).

2016-05-31README.md: format CLI commands with code syntaxBenjamin Dopplinger
CLI commands which are mentioned in the readme are now formatted with the Markdown code syntax to make the documentation more readable. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Dopplinger <b.dopplinger@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-04-03README.md: don't take 'commandname' literallyMatthieu Moy
The link to Documentation/git-commandname.txt was obviously broken. Remove the link and make it clear that it is not a literal path name by using *italics* in makdown. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-02-25README.md: move down historical explanation about the nameMatthieu Moy
The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to the description and link to the documentation. Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary. This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of mind of current developers.

2016-02-25README.md: don't call git stupid in the titleMatthieu Moy
"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes Git more accuralety. Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it in the very first words of the README. The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.

2016-02-25README.md: move the link to git-scm.com upMatthieu Moy
The documentation available on git-scm.com is nicely formatted. It's better to point users to it than to the source code of the documentation. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
