* git-push: Accept -n as a synonym for --dry-run.Nelson Elhage2009-09-13
| | | | | | | | | git-push is not currently using -n for anything else, and it seems unlikely we will want to use it to mean anything else in the future, so add it as an alias for convenience. Signed-off-by: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* push: point to 'git pull' and 'git push --force' in case of non-fast forwardMatthieu Moy2009-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | 'git push' failing because of non-fast forward is a very common situation, and a beginner does not necessarily understand "fast forward" immediately. Add a new section to the git-push documentation and refer them to it.

* add --porcelain option to git-pushLarry D'Anna2009-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If --porcelain is used git-push will produce machine-readable output. The output status line for each ref will be tab-separated and sent to stdout instead of stderr. The full symbolic names of the refs will be given. For example $ git push --dry-run --porcelain master :foobar 2>/dev/null \ | perl -pe 's/\t/ TAB /g' = TAB refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master TAB [up to date] - TAB :refs/heads/foobar TAB [deleted] Signed-off-by: Larry D'Anna <larry@elder-gods.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Documentation: simplify refspec format descriptionJunio C Hamano2009-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations. Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in informal prose.

* Documentation: mention branches rather than headsAnders Melchiorsen2009-01-18

* Documentation: remove a redundant elaborationAnders Melchiorsen2009-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment in parentheses is wrong, as one has to leave out both the colon and <dst>. This situation is covered by the section a few lines down: A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source repository to the destination repository under the same name.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I see quite a few pages on k.org site, e.g. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rerere.html (scroll down to find "After this test merge") are misformatted to lose teletype text '+' that is followed by a comma, and turns the following paragraph all typeset in teletype. This patch seems to fix the issue at the site (meaning, with the particular vintage of asciidoc and docbook toolchain), without breaking things with the version I have at my primary development machine, but wider testing is very much appreciated. After this patch, git grep '`+`,' -- Documentation should report noting. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsStephan Beyer2008-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a way to specify "push matching heads" using a special refspec ":". This is useful because it allows "push = +:" as a way to specify that matching refs will be pushed but, in addition, forced updates will be allowed, which was not possible before.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that, when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that remote. Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote add --mirror'. The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was not used in parsing the option. Since I was touching related code, I did this fix too.

* Documentation/push: clarify matching refspec behaviorJeff King2008-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous text was correct, but it was easy to miss the fact that we are talking about "matching" refs. That is, the text can be parsed as "we push the union of the sets of remote and local heads" and not "we push the intersection of the sets of remote and local heads". (The former actually doesn't make sense if you think about it, since we don't even _have_ some of those heads). A careful reading would reveal the correct meaning, but it makes sense to be as explicit as possible in documentation. We also explicitly use and introduce the term "matching"; this is a term discussed on the list, and it seems useful to for users to be able to refer to this behavior by name.

* Add a --dry-run option to git-push.Brian Ewins2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing for new users, since it will push changes that are not on the current branch. Publishing patches that were still cooking on a development branch is hard to undo. It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know what branches matched on the server. Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create the branch foo.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include the URL-types list from urls.txt. Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make as much sense.
