DESCRIPTION

-

git is both a program and a directory content tracker system. -The program git is just a wrapper to reach the core git programs -(or a potty if you like, as it's not exactly porcelain but still -brings your stuff to the plumbing).

+

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.

+

See this tutorial to get started, then see +Everyday Git for a useful minimum set of commands, and +"man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may +also want to read CVS migration.

FURTHER DOCUMENTATION

This manual is intended to give complete background information -and internal workings of git, which may be too much for most -people. The [Discussion] section below contains much useful -definition and clarification - read that first.

If you are interested in using git to manage (version control) -projects, use The Tutorial to get you started, -and then Everyday GIT as a guide to the -minimum set of commands you need to know for day-to-day work. -Most likely, that will get you started, and you can go a long -way without knowing the low level details too much.

-

The Core tutorial document covers how things -internally work.

-

If you are migrating from CVS, cvs -migration document may be helpful after you finish the -tutorial.

-

After you get the general feel from the tutorial and this -overview page, you may want to take a look at the -howto documents.

+

See the references above to get started using git. The following is +probably more detail than necessary for a first-time user.

The Discussion section below and the +Core tutorial both provide introductions to the +underlying git architecture.

CORE GIT COMMANDS

GIT COMMANDS

-

If you are writing your own Porcelain, you need to be familiar -with most of the low level commands --- I suggest starting from -git-update-index(1) and git-read-tree(1).

+

We divide git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level +("plumbing") commands.

-

Commands Overview

+

Low-level commands (plumbing)

-

The git commands can helpfully be split into those that manipulate -the repository, the index and the files in the working tree, those that -interrogate and compare them, and those that moves objects and -references between repositories.

-

In addition, git itself comes with a spartan set of porcelain -commands. They are usable but are not meant to compete with real -Porcelains.

-

There are also some ancillary programs that can be viewed as useful -aids for using the core commands but which are unlikely to be used by -SCMs layered over git.

+

Although git includes its +own porcelain layer, its low-level commands are sufficient to support +development of alternative porcelains. Developers of such porcelains +might start by reading about git-update-index(1) and +git-read-tree(1).

+

We divide the low-level commands into commands that manipulate objects (in +the repository, index, and working tree), commands that interrogate and +compare objects, and commands that move objects and references between +repositories.
