Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing
blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of
special characters. Some manpages make a list of examples, like:
git foo::
Run git foo.
git foo -q::
Use the "-q" option.
to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to
read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for
example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be
difficult).
This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the
equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without
character interpretation).
As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which
"git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list,
and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-gui - A portable graphical interface to Git
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git gui' [<command>] [arguments]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
A Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface to Git. 'git gui' focuses
|
|
on allowing users to make changes to their repository by making
|
|
new commits, amending existing ones, creating branches, performing
|
|
local merges, and fetching/pushing to remote repositories.
|
|
|
|
Unlike 'gitk', 'git gui' focuses on commit generation
|
|
and single file annotation and does not show project history.
|
|
It does however supply menu actions to start a 'gitk' session from
|
|
within 'git gui'.
|
|
|
|
'git gui' is known to work on all popular UNIX systems, Mac OS X,
|
|
and Windows (under both Cygwin and MSYS). To the extent possible
|
|
OS specific user interface guidelines are followed, making 'git gui'
|
|
a fairly native interface for users.
|
|
|
|
COMMANDS
|
|
--------
|
|
blame::
|
|
Start a blame viewer on the specified file on the given
|
|
version (or working directory if not specified).
|
|
|
|
browser::
|
|
Start a tree browser showing all files in the specified
|
|
commit (or 'HEAD' by default). Files selected through the
|
|
browser are opened in the blame viewer.
|
|
|
|
citool::
|
|
Start 'git gui' and arrange to make exactly one commit before
|
|
exiting and returning to the shell. The interface is limited
|
|
to only commit actions, slightly reducing the application's
|
|
startup time and simplifying the menubar.
|
|
|
|
version::
|
|
Display the currently running version of 'git gui'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
`git gui blame Makefile`::
|
|
|
|
Show the contents of the file 'Makefile' in the current
|
|
working directory, and provide annotations for both the
|
|
original author of each line, and who moved the line to its
|
|
current location. The uncommitted file is annotated, and
|
|
uncommitted changes (if any) are explicitly attributed to
|
|
'Not Yet Committed'.
|
|
|
|
`git gui blame v0.99.8 Makefile`::
|
|
|
|
Show the contents of 'Makefile' in revision 'v0.99.8'
|
|
and provide annotations for each line. Unlike the above
|
|
example the file is read from the object database and not
|
|
the working directory.
|
|
|
|
`git gui blame --line=100 Makefile`::
|
|
|
|
Loads annotations as described above and automatically
|
|
scrolls the view to center on line '100'.
|
|
|
|
`git gui citool`::
|
|
|
|
Make one commit and return to the shell when it is complete.
|
|
This command returns a non-zero exit code if the window was
|
|
closed in any way other than by making a commit.
|
|
|
|
`git gui citool --amend`::
|
|
|
|
Automatically enter the 'Amend Last Commit' mode of
|
|
the interface.
|
|
|
|
`git gui citool --nocommit`::
|
|
|
|
Behave as normal citool, but instead of making a commit
|
|
simply terminate with a zero exit code. It still checks
|
|
that the index does not contain any unmerged entries, so
|
|
you can use it as a GUI version of linkgit:git-mergetool[1]
|
|
|
|
`git citool`::
|
|
|
|
Same as `git gui citool` (above).
|
|
|
|
`git gui browser maint`::
|
|
|
|
Show a browser for the tree of the 'maint' branch. Files
|
|
selected in the browser can be viewed with the internal
|
|
blame viewer.
|
|
|
|
SEE ALSO
|
|
--------
|
|
linkgit:gitk[1]::
|
|
The git repository browser. Shows branches, commit history
|
|
and file differences. gitk is the utility started by
|
|
'git gui''s Repository Visualize actions.
|
|
|
|
Other
|
|
-----
|
|
'git gui' is actually maintained as an independent project, but stable
|
|
versions are distributed as part of the Git suite for the convenience
|
|
of end users.
|
|
|
|
A 'git gui' development repository can be obtained from:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/git-gui.git
|
|
|
|
or browsed online at http://repo.or.cz/w/git-gui.git/[].
