Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for information on the gitignore format. Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to .gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what precedence they have.

git-status(1)
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-status - Show the working tree status
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-status' <options>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Examines paths in the working tree that has changes unrecorded
|
|
to the index file, and changes between the index file and the
|
|
current HEAD commit. The former paths are what you _could_
|
|
commit by running 'git add' before running 'git
|
|
commit', and the latter paths are what you _would_ commit by
|
|
running 'git commit'.
|
|
|
|
If there is no path that is different between the index file and
|
|
the current HEAD commit, the command exits with non-zero
|
|
status.
|
|
|
|
The command takes the same set of options as `git-commit`; it
|
|
shows what would be committed if the same options are given to
|
|
`git-commit`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit
|
|
template comments, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The command honors `color.status` (or `status.color` -- they
|
|
mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward
|
|
compatibility) and `color.status.<slot>` configuration variables
|
|
to colorize its output.
