The "Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So" is not accessible via the Git help system. Move everyday.txt to giteveryday.txt so that "git help everyday" works, and create a new placeholder file everyday.html to refer people who follow existing URLs to the updated location. giteveryday.txt now formats well with AsciiDoc as a man page and refreshed content to a more command modern style. Add 'everyday' to the help --guides list and update git(1) and 5 other links to giteveryday. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley <philipoakley@iee.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
|
|
|
|
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
|
|
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
|
|
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
|
|
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
|
|
dictionary of slang.
|
|
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
|
|
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
|
|
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
|
|
|
|
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
|
|
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
|
|
and full access to internals.
|
|
|
|
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
|
|
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
|
|
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
|
|
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
|
|
|
|
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
|
|
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
|
|
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
|
|
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
|
|
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
|
|
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
|
|
commandname".
|
|
|
|
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
|
|
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
|
|
installed).
|
|
|
|
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
|
|
including full documentation and Git related tools.
|
|
|
|
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
|
|
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
|
|
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
|
|
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
|
|
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
|
|
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
|
|
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
|
|
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
|

|
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
|
|
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
|
|
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
|
|
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
