git-sh-i18n(1) ============== NAME ---- git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] '. "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"' DESCRIPTION ----------- This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones. The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using `.`) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides wrappers for the GNU `gettext` and `eval_gettext` functions accessible through the `gettext.sh` script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on systems without GNU gettext. FUNCTIONS --------- gettext:: Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around `printf(1)`. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version. eval_gettext:: Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around `printf(1)` with variables expanded by the linkgit:git-sh-i18n--envsubst[1] helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version. GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
