* [PATCH] Retitle 'inspecting what happened' section.Jon Loeliger2005-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In the tutorial, there is a section entitled "Checking it out" that shows how to use diff log and whatchanged to insect some of the repository state. As the phrase "checkout" ususally carries some baggage WRT other revision control mechanism, I suggest that we re-title this section something like "Inspecting Changes".

* Update tutorial with Octopus usage.Junio C Hamano2005-09-21
| | | | | | | Making an Octopus is simply a natural extension of merging just one branch into the current branch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash replacementYasushi SHOJI2005-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (&#8212) by default. em-dash looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when we are talking about command options. Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement. This patch does just that.

* [PATCH] Fix tutorial reference to git-*-scripts.jdl@freescale.com2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | There was a lingering reference to the git-*-scripts in the tutorial. This patch reworks that paragraph a bit. Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

* Mention post-update when we first talk about publishing a repository.Junio C Hamano2005-09-02
| | | | | | | | There is more detailed instruction for `project lead` later in the tutorial to talk about the same, but at this point in the flow of tutorial, the first time reader has no way of knowing it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add repository-layout document.Junio C Hamano2005-09-01
| | | | | | ... and link to it from both the main index and the tutorial. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Update tutorial.Junio C Hamano2005-08-30
| | | | | | | | Finally I bit the bullet and did a full sweep of this document. The changes are mostly clarifications, adjusting old terminology to the glossary compatible one, and asciidoc formatting. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Documentaion updates.Junio C Hamano2005-08-30
| | | | | | | Mostly making the formatted html prettier. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> (cherry picked from 7adf1f15ebe074d4767df941817a6cf86d8e2533 commit)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Use "working tree", "object name", "repository" as the canonical term consistenly. - Start formatting tutorial with asciidoc. - Mention shared repository style of cooperation. - Update with some usability enhancements recently made, such as the "-m" flag to the "git commit" command.

* [PATCH] use it's and its correctly in documentationGreg Louis2005-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | At one place in Documentation/tutorial.txt and several in the base README, its was wrongly used in place of it's or vice versa. One instance remains somewhere in Documentation/howto/, which I didn't correct because it's in a quotation.

* Tutorial: use a bit longer sample filenames.Junio C Hamano2005-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | Darrin Thompson noticed when he was showing off GIT to others that the use of filenames "a" and "b" in the tutorial example was unnecessarily confusing, especially with our "patch -p1" prefix a/ and b/, without giving us any patch. I was very tempted to change them back to l/ and k/ prefixes, but decided to restrain myself and update the tutorial instead ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Update tutorial.txt branches/tags to use the nicer helper syntaxLinus Torvalds2005-07-23
| | | | | | Teach people to use "git tag <tag-name>" instead of writing the current HEAD by hand into the .git/refs/tags/<tag-name> file. Most people probably don't really want to know about how git does things internally.
* [PATCH] tutorial: mention "git clone" records .git/branches/originJunio C Hamano2005-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | Update the recommended workflow for individual developers. While they are tracking the origin, refs/heads/origin is updated by "git fetch", so there is no need to manually copy FETCH_HEAD to refs/heads/ anywhere.

* [PATCH] Documentation: update recommended workflow when working with others.Junio C Hamano2005-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Clarify that the hierarchy implied by the recommended workflow is only informal. Refer readers to nice illustration by Randy Dunlap. Separate out the step to "push" to own public repository in the workflow. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Documentation: pull, push, packing repository and working with others.Junio C Hamano2005-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Describe where you can pull from with a bit more detail. Clarify description of pushing. Add a section on packing repositories. Add a section on recommended workflow for the project lead, subsystem maintainers and individual developers. Move "Tag" section around to make the flow of example simpler to follow.

* Update the tutorial a bitLinus Torvalds2005-07-08
| | | | | | | Add notes on branches, merging, tagging, and update some of the usage to the friendlier "git cmd" syntax. It's still ridiculously lacking, but perhaps it's a _bit_ more useful.

* [PATCH] Tutorial update to adjust for -B fixJunio C Hamano2005-06-12
| | | | | | | | Now -B does not say silly "complete rewrite" anymore for small files such as the one in the tutorial example. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* Clarify git-diff-cache semantics in the tutorial.Linus Torvalds2005-06-02
| | | | | Adam Kropelin points out that it wasn't all that clear at all what the thing does. This hopefully helps a bit.
* Run the tutorial through ispell once moreLinus Torvalds2005-06-02
| | | | People are making fun of me for being a bad speeler.
* tutorial.txt: start describing how to copy repositoriesLinus Torvalds2005-06-01
| | | | Both locally and remotely.
* Update tutorial for simplified "git" script.Linus Torvalds2005-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Use "git commit" instead of "git-commit-script", and talk about using "git log" before introducing the more complex "git-whatchanged". In short, try to make it feel a bit more normal to those poor souls using CVS. Do some whitspace edits too, to make the side notes stand out a bit more.

* Add first cut at a simple git tutorial.Linus Torvalds2005-05-31
This really is very basic stuff, no branches, no merging, no CVS imports. Let's start small.
