The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.
git-mktree – Build a tree-object from ls-tree formatted text Synopsisgit mktree [-z] [–missing] [–batch]DescriptionReads standard input in non-recursive ls-tree output format, and creates a tree object. The order of the tree entries is normalized by mktree so pre-sorting the input is not required. The object name of the tree object built is written to the…
git-mktag – Creates a tag object with extra validation Synopsisgit mktagDescriptionReads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object. The output is the new tag’s <object> identifier. This command is mostly equivalent to git-hash-object(1) invoked with -t tag -w –stdin. I.e. both of these will create and write a tag found in…
git-missing – Show commits missing from another branch Synopsisgit-missing [<first branch>] <second branch> [<git log options>] DescriptionShows commits that are in either of two branches but not both. Useful for seeing what would come across in a merge or push. Options[<first branch>] First branch to compare. If not specified, defaults to currently checked out branch….
git-mergetool – Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts Synopsisgit mergetool [–tool=<tool>] [-y | –[no-]prompt] [<file>…]DescriptionUse git mergetool to run one of several merge utilities to resolve merge conflicts. It is typically run after git merge. If one or more <file> parameters are given, the merge tool program will be run to resolve…
git-mergetool–lib – Common Git merge tool shell scriptlets SynopsisTOOL_MODE=(diff|merge) . "$(git –exec-path)/git-mergetool–lib"DescriptionThis 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-mergetool–lib scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by other shell scripts…
git-merge – Join two or more development histories together Synopsisgit merge [-n] [–stat] [–no-commit] [–squash] [–[no-]edit] [–no-verify] [-s <strategy>] [-X <strategy-option>] [-S[<keyid>]] [–[no-]allow-unrelated-histories] [–[no-]rerere-autoupdate] [-m <msg>] [-F <file>] [<commit>…] git merge (–continue | –abort | –quit)DescriptionIncorporates changes from the named commits (since the time their histories diverged from the current branch) into the current branch….
git-merge-tree – Show three-way merge without touching index Synopsisgit merge-tree <base-tree> <branch1> <branch2>DescriptionReads three tree-ish, and output trivial merge results and conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to what three-way git read-tree -m does, but instead of storing the results in the index, the command outputs the entries to the standard output….
git-merge-repo – Merge two repo histories Synopsisgit-merge-repo <repo> <branch> <directory> [–squash] DescriptionMerges a repository’s history with the current repository, inside a specified directory. Optional –squash flag skips the full history and generates only one commit for the merge. ExamplesMerges a local repo’s frontend branch into the current repo’s web folder: $ git merge-repo ../app/.git frontend…
git-merge-one-file – The standard helper program to use with git-merge-index Synopsisgit merge-one-fileDescriptionThis is the standard helper program to use with git merge-index to resolve a merge after the trivial merge done with git read-tree -m. GitPart of the git(1) suite
git-merge-into – Merge one branch into another Synopsisgit merge-into [src] <dest> [–ff-only] DescriptionMerge one branch into another, and keep yourself on current branch. If src branch not given, it will merge current one to dest. Options<src> The name of the branch will be merged into. If this not given, use current branch as default. <dest>…
git-merge-index – Run a merge for files needing merging Synopsisgit merge-index [-o] [-q] <merge-program> (-a | [–] <file>*)DescriptionThis looks up the <file>(s) in the index and, if there are any merge entries, passes the SHA-1 hash for those files as arguments 1, 2, 3 (empty argument if no file), and <file> as argument 4. File…
git-merge-file – Run a three-way file merge Synopsisgit merge-file [-L <current-name> [-L <base-name> [-L <other-name>]]] [–ours|–theirs|–union] [-p|–stdout] [-q|–quiet] [–marker-size=<n>] [–[no-]diff3] <current-file> <base-file> <other-file>Descriptiongit merge-file incorporates all changes that lead from the <base-file> to <other-file> into <current-file>. The result ordinarily goes into <current-file>. git merge-file is useful for combining separate changes to an original. Suppose <base-file>…
git-merge-changelog – manual page for git-merge-changelog /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gnulib-0-14.20150325git.el7.x86_64/usr/bin/git-merge-changelog Synopsisgit-merge-changelog [OPTION] O-FILE-NAME A-FILE-NAME B-FILE-NAME DescriptionMerges independent modifications of a ChangeLog style file. O-FILE-NAME names the original file, the ancestor of the two others. A-FILE-NAME names the publicly modified file. B-FILE-NAME names the user-modified file. Writes the merged file into A-FILE-NAME. Informative output:-h, –help display this help and…
git-merge-base – Find as good common ancestors as possible for a merge Synopsisgit merge-base [-a|–all] <commit> <commit>… git merge-base [-a|–all] –octopus <commit>… git merge-base –is-ancestor <commit> <commit> git merge-base –independent <commit>… git merge-base –fork-point <ref> [<commit>]Descriptiongit merge-base finds best common ancestor(s) between two commits to use in a three-way merge. One common ancestor is better…
git-maintenance – Run tasks to optimize Git repository data Synopsisgit maintenance run [<options>]DescriptionRun tasks to optimize Git repository data, speeding up other Git commands and reducing storage requirements for the repository.
