The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-sh-setup - Common git shell script setup code
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'. "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup"'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever.
|
|
This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
|
|
Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
|
|
|
|
The 'git sh-setup' scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
|
|
`.`) by other shell scripts to set up some variables pointing at
|
|
the normal git directories and a few helper shell functions.
|
|
|
|
Before sourcing it, your script should set up a few variables;
|
|
`USAGE` (and `LONG_USAGE`, if any) is used to define message
|
|
given by `usage()` shell function. `SUBDIRECTORY_OK` can be set
|
|
if the script can run from a subdirectory of the working tree
|
|
(some commands do not).
|
|
|
|
The scriptlet sets `GIT_DIR` and `GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY` shell
|
|
variables, but does *not* export them to the environment.
|
|
|
|
FUNCTIONS
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
die::
|
|

|
|
|
|
set_reflog_action::

ref.
|
|
|
|
git_editor::
|
|
runs an editor of user's choice (GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, VISUAL or

|
|
|
|
is_bare_repository::
|
|
