# Command classification list
# ---------------------------
# All supported commands, builtin or external, must be described in
# here. This info is used to list commands in various places. Each
# command is on one line followed by one or more attributes.
#
# The first attribute group is mandatory and indicates the command
# type. This group includes:
#
# mainporcelain
# ancillarymanipulators
# ancillaryinterrogators
# foreignscminterface
# plumbingmanipulators
# plumbinginterrogators
# synchingrepositories
# synchelpers
# purehelpers
#
# The type names are self explanatory. But if you want to see what
# command belongs to what group to get a better picture, have a look
# at "git" man page, "GIT COMMANDS" section.
#
# Commands of type mainporcelain can also optionally have one of these
# attributes:
#
# init
# worktree
# info
# history
# remote
#
# These commands are considered "common" and will show up in "git
# help" output in groups. Uncommon porcelain commands must not
# specify any of these attributes.
#
# "complete" attribute is used to mark that the command should be
# completable by git-completion.bash. Note that by default,
# mainporcelain commands are completable so you don't need this
# attribute.
#
# As part of the Git man page list, the man(5/7) guides are also
# specified here, which can only have "guide" attribute and nothing
# else.
#
git docs: add a category for user-facing file, repo and command UX Create a new "Repository, command and file interfaces" section in the main "git help git" manual page. Move things that belong under this new criteria from the generic "Guides" section. The "Guides" section was added in f442f28a81b (git.txt: add list of guides, 2020-08-05). It makes sense to have e.g. "giteveryday(7)" and "gitfaq(7)" listed under "Guides". But placing e.g. "gitignore(5)" in it is stretching the meaning of what a "guide" is, ideally that section should list things similar to "giteveryday(7)" and "gitcore-tutorial(7)". An alternate name that was considered for this new section was "User formats", for consistency with the nomenclature used for man section 5 in general. My man(1) lists it as "File formats and conventions, e.g. /etc/passwd". So calling this "git help --formats" or "git help --user-formats" would make sense for e.g. gitignore(5), but would be stretching it somewhat for githooks(5), and would seem really suspect for the likes of gitcli(7). Let's instead pick a name that's closer to the generic term "User interface", which is really what this documentation discusses: General user-interface documentation that doesn't obviously belong elsewhere.

# User-facing repository, command and file interfaces such as
# documentation for the .gitmodules, .mailmap etc. files lives in man
# sections 5 and 7. These entries can only have the "userinterfaces"
# attribute and nothing else.
#
git docs: add a category for file formats, protocols and interfaces Create a new "File formats, protocols and other developer interfaces" section in the main "git help git" manual page and start moving the documentation that now lives in "Documentation/technical/*.git" over to it. This complements the newly added and adjacent "Repository, command and file interfaces" section. This makes the technical documentation more accessible and discoverable. Before this we wouldn't install it by default, and had no ability to build man page versions of them. The links to them from our existing documentation link to the generated HTML version of these docs. So let's start moving those over, starting with just the "bundle-format.txt" documentation added in 7378ec90e1c (doc: describe Git bundle format, 2020-02-07). We'll now have a new gitformat-bundle(5) man page. Subsequent commits will move more git internal format documentation over. Unfortunately the syntax of the current Documentation/technical/*.txt is not the same (when it comes to section headings etc.) as our Documentation/*.txt documentation, so change the relevant bits of syntax as we're moving this over.

generate-cmdlist.sh: replace "grep' invocation with a shell version Replace the "grep" we run to exclude certain programs from the generated output with a pure-shell loop that strips out the comments, and sees if the "cmd" we're reading is on a list of excluded programs. This uses a trick similar to test_have_prereq() in test-lib-functions.sh. On my *nix system this makes things quite a bit slower compared to HEAD~: o 'sh generate-cmdlist.sh.old command-list.txt' ran 1.56 ± 0.11 times faster than 'sh generate-cmdlist.sh command-list.txt' 18.00 ± 0.19 times faster than 'sh generate-cmdlist.sh.master command-list.txt' But when I tried running generate-cmdlist.sh 100 times in CI I found that it helped across the board even on OSX & Linux. I tried testing it in CI with this ad-hoc few-liner: for i in $(seq -w 0 11 | sort -nr) do git show HEAD~$i:generate-cmdlist.sh >generate-cmdlist-HEAD$i.sh && git add generate-cmdlist* && cp t/t0000-generate-cmdlist.sh t/t00$i-generate-cmdlist.sh || : && perl -pi -e "s/HEAD0/HEAD$i/g" t/t00$i-generate-cmdlist.sh && git add t/t00*.sh done && git commit -m"generated it" Here HEAD~02 and the t0002* file refers to this change, and HEAD~03 and t0003* file to the preceding commit, the relevant results were: linux-gcc: [12:05:33] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 14 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 3.64 cusr 3.09 csys = 6.73 CPU) [12:05:30] t0003-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 32 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 2.66 cusr 1.81 csys = 4.47 CPU) osx-gcc: [11:58:04] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 80081 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.02 sys + 17.80 cusr 10.07 csys = 27.91 CPU) [11:58:16] t0003-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 92127 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 22.54 cusr 14.27 csys = 36.84 CPU) vs-test: [12:03:14] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 30 s ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 13.14 cusr 26.19 csys = 39.35 CPU) [12:03:20] t0003-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 32 s ( 0.00 usr 0.02 sys + 13.25 cusr 26.10 csys = 39.37 CPU) I.e. even on *nix running 100 of these in a loop was up to ~2x faster in absolute runtime, I suspect it's due factors that are exacerbated in the CI, e.g. much slower process startup due to some platform limits, or a slower FS. The "cut -d" change here is because we're not emitting the 40-character aligned output anymore, i.e. we'll get the output from command_list() now, not an as-is line from command-list.txt. This also makes the parsing more reliable, as we could tweak the whitespace alignment without breaking this parser. Let's reword a now-inaccurate comment in "command-list.txt" describing that previous alignment limitation. We'll still need the "### command-list [...]" line due to the "Documentation/cmd-list.perl" logic added in 11c6659d85d (command-list: prepare machinery for upcoming "common groups" section, 2015-05-21). There was a proposed change subsequent to this one[3] which continued moving more logic into the "command_list() function, i.e. replaced the "cut | tr | grep" chain in "category_list()" with an argument to "command_list()". That change might have had a bit of an effect, but not as much as the preceding commit, so I decided to drop it. The relevant performance numbers from it were: linux-gcc: [12:05:33] t0001-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 13 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 3.33 cusr 2.78 csys = 6.11 CPU) [12:05:33] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 14 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 3.64 cusr 3.09 csys = 6.73 CPU) osx-gcc: [11:58:03] t0001-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 78416 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 11.78 cusr 6.22 csys = 18.03 CPU) [11:58:04] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 80081 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.02 sys + 17.80 cusr 10.07 csys = 27.91 CPU) vs-test: [12:03:20] t0001-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 34 s ( 0.00 usr 0.03 sys + 12.42 cusr 19.55 csys = 32.00 CPU) [12:03:14] t0002-generate-cmdlist.sh .. ok 30 s ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 13.14 cusr 26.19 csys = 39.35 CPU) As above HEAD~2 and t0002* are testing the code in this commit (and the line is the same), but HEAD~1 and t0001* are testing that dropped change in [3]. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v2-00.10-00000000000-20211022T193027Z-avarab@gmail.com/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-v2-08.10-83318d6c0da-20211022T193027Z-avarab@gmail.com/ 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-v2-10.10-e10a43756d1-20211022T193027Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

### command list (do not change this line)
generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.h The current generate-cmds.sh generates just enough to print "git help" output. That is, it only extracts help text for common commands. The script is now updated to extract help text for all commands and keep command classification a new file, command-list.h. This will be useful later: - "git help -a" could print a short summary of all commands instead of just the common ones. - "git" could produce a list of commands of one or more category. One of its use is to reduce another command classification embedded in git-completion.bash. The new file can be generated but is not used anywhere yet. The plan is we migrate away from common-cmds.h. Then we can kill off common-cmds.h build rules and generation code (and also delete duplicate content in command-list.h which we keep for now to not mess generate-cmds.sh up too much). PS. The new fixed column requirement on command-list.txt is technically not needed. But it helps simplify the code a bit at this stage. We could lift this restriction later if we want to.

Later, Git can learn how to collect some diagnostic information from the repository. If users can send us a well-written bug report which contains diagnostic information we would otherwise need to ask the user for, we can reduce the number of question-and-answer round trips between the reporter and the Git contributor.

help: move git-diff and git-reset to different groups The third column in command-list.txt determines what group a common command is printed in 'git help'. "git reset" is currently in the "work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)" group. While it's true that "git reset" can manipulate the index and can be in this group, its unique functionality is resetting HEAD, which should be the "grow, mark, tweak history" group. Moving it there will also avoid the confusion because both 'restore' and 'reset' are in the same group, next to each other. While looking at the 'group, mark, tweak history', I realize "git diff" should not be there. All the commands in this group is about _changing_ the commit history while "git diff" is a read-only operation. It fits better in the "examine the history and state" group (especially when "git status", its close friend, is already there). This is what we have after the reorganization: work on the current change (see also: git help everyday) add Add file contents to the index mv Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink restore Restore working tree files rm Remove files from the working tree and from the index examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions) bisect Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc grep Print lines matching a pattern log Show commit logs show Show various types of objects status Show the working tree status grow, mark and tweak your common history branch List, create, or delete branches commit Record changes to the repository merge Join two or more development histories together rebase Reapply commits on top of another base tip reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state switch Switch branches tag Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

hook: add 'run' subcommand In order to enable hooks to be run as an external process, by a standalone Git command, or by tools which wrap Git, provide an external means to run all configured hook commands for a given hook event. Most of our hooks require more complex functionality than this, but let's start with the bare minimum required to support our simplest hooks. In terms of implementation the usage_with_options() and "goto usage" pattern here mirrors that of builtin/{commit-graph,multi-pack-index}.c. Some of the implementation here, such as a function being named run_hooks_opt() when it's tasked with running one hook, to using the run_processes_parallel_tr2() API to run with jobs=1 is somewhere between a bit odd and and an overkill for the current features of this "hook run" command and the hook.[ch] API. This code will eventually be able to run multiple hooks declared in config in parallel, by starting out with these names and APIs we reduce the later churn of renaming functions, switching from the run_command() to run_processes_parallel_tr2() API etc. Signed-off-by: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Acked-by: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

maintenance: create basic maintenance runner The 'gc' builtin is our current entrypoint for automatically maintaining a repository. This one tool does many operations, such as repacking the repository, packing refs, and rewriting the commit-graph file. The name implies it performs "garbage collection" which means several different things, and some users may not want to use this operation that rewrites the entire object database. Create a new 'maintenance' builtin that will become a more general- purpose command. To start, it will only support the 'run' subcommand, but will later expand to add subcommands for scheduling maintenance in the background. For now, the 'maintenance' builtin is a thin shim over the 'gc' builtin. In fact, the only option is the '--auto' toggle, which is handed directly to the 'gc' builtin. The current change is isolated to this simple operation to prevent more interesting logic from being lost in all of the boilerplate of adding a new builtin. Use existing builtin/gc.c file because we want to share code between the two builtins. It is possible that we will have 'maintenance' replace the 'gc' builtin entirely at some point, leaving 'git gc' as an alias for some specific arguments to 'git maintenance run'. Create a new test_subcommand helper that allows us to test if a certain subcommand was run. It requires storing the GIT_TRACE2_EVENT logs in a file. A negation mode is available that will be used in later tests.

Introduce `range-diff` to compare iterations of a topic branch This command does not do a whole lot so far, apart from showing a usage that is oddly similar to that of `git tbdiff`. And for a good reason: the next commits will turn `range-branch` into a full-blown replacement for `tbdiff`. At this point, we ignore tbdiff's color options, as they will all be implemented later using diff_options. Since f318d739159 (generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.h, 2018-05-10), every new command *requires* a man page to build right away, so let's also add a blank man page, too.

replay: introduce new builtin For now, this is just a rename from `t/helper/test-fast-rebase.c` into `builtin/replay.c` with minimal changes to make it build appropriately. Let's add a stub documentation and a stub test script though. Subsequent commits will flesh out the capabilities of the new command and make it a more standard regular builtin.

help: move git-diff and git-reset to different groups The third column in command-list.txt determines what group a common command is printed in 'git help'. "git reset" is currently in the "work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)" group. While it's true that "git reset" can manipulate the index and can be in this group, its unique functionality is resetting HEAD, which should be the "grow, mark, tweak history" group. Moving it there will also avoid the confusion because both 'restore' and 'reset' are in the same group, next to each other. While looking at the 'group, mark, tweak history', I realize "git diff" should not be there. All the commands in this group is about _changing_ the commit history while "git diff" is a read-only operation. It fits better in the "examine the history and state" group (especially when "git status", its close friend, is already there). This is what we have after the reorganization: work on the current change (see also: git help everyday) add Add file contents to the index mv Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink restore Restore working tree files rm Remove files from the working tree and from the index examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions) bisect Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc grep Print lines matching a pattern log Show commit logs show Show various types of objects status Show the working tree status grow, mark and tweak your common history branch List, create, or delete branches commit Record changes to the repository merge Join two or more development histories together rebase Reapply commits on top of another base tip reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state switch Switch branches tag Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-reset mainporcelain history
checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore' Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking out paths path. Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to match the man page. A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>': - 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both worktree and index). - 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'. - both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>' - default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as with --source (*). - when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be specified since the default source for these two individual targets are different (**) - --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the source, restoring means deleting the entry (*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD. (**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it through when they type the commands.

checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch' "git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page.

version: fix builtin linking & documentation Like most builtins, 'version' is documented in a corresponding 'Documentation/git-version.txt' and can be invoked with 'git version'. However, the 'check-docs' Makefile target showed that it was "removed but documented: git-version." This was cause by the fact that it is not built as a standalone 'git-version' executable, therefore appearing "removed" to 'check-docs'. Without a precedent for documented builtins that aren't built into an executable *or* any clear reason why a standalone 'git-version' shouldn't exist, the 'check-docs' error appears to correctly identify an issue. To correct that mismatch, add 'git-version' to the 'BUILT_INS' list in the root Makefile (indicating that the 'cmd_version()' function appears in a file that is *not* 'builtin/version.c'). Additionally, to avoid the "no link" message in 'check-docs', list 'git-version' as an "ancilliaryinterrogator" (like 'git help') in 'command-list.txt'.

git docs: add a category for user-facing file, repo and command UX Create a new "Repository, command and file interfaces" section in the main "git help git" manual page. Move things that belong under this new criteria from the generic "Guides" section. The "Guides" section was added in f442f28a81b (git.txt: add list of guides, 2020-08-05). It makes sense to have e.g. "giteveryday(7)" and "gitfaq(7)" listed under "Guides". But placing e.g. "gitignore(5)" in it is stretching the meaning of what a "guide" is, ideally that section should list things similar to "giteveryday(7)" and "gitcore-tutorial(7)". An alternate name that was considered for this new section was "User formats", for consistency with the nomenclature used for man section 5 in general. My man(1) lists it as "File formats and conventions, e.g. /etc/passwd". So calling this "git help --formats" or "git help --user-formats" would make sense for e.g. gitignore(5), but would be stretching it somewhat for githooks(5), and would seem really suspect for the likes of gitcli(7). Let's instead pick a name that's closer to the generic term "User interface", which is really what this documentation discusses: General user-interface documentation that doesn't obviously belong elsewhere.

git docs: add a category for file formats, protocols and interfaces Create a new "File formats, protocols and other developer interfaces" section in the main "git help git" manual page and start moving the documentation that now lives in "Documentation/technical/*.git" over to it. This complements the newly added and adjacent "Repository, command and file interfaces" section. This makes the technical documentation more accessible and discoverable. Before this we wouldn't install it by default, and had no ability to build man page versions of them. The links to them from our existing documentation link to the generated HTML version of these docs. So let's start moving those over, starting with just the "bundle-format.txt" documentation added in 7378ec90e1c (doc: describe Git bundle format, 2020-02-07). We'll now have a new gitformat-bundle(5) man page. Subsequent commits will move more git internal format documentation over. Unfortunately the syntax of the current Documentation/technical/*.txt is not the same (when it comes to section headings etc.) as our Documentation/*.txt documentation, so change the relevant bits of syntax as we're moving this over.

docs: move pack format docs to man section 5 Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving the various documentation pertaining to the *.pack format and related files, and updating things that refer to it to link to the new location. By moving these we can properly link from the newly created gitformat-commit-graph to a gitformat-chunk-format page. Integrating "Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt" and "Documentation/technical/cruft-packs.txt" might logically be part of this change, but as those cover parts of the wider "pack format" (including associated files) that's documented outside of "Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt" let's leave those for now, subsequent commit(s) will address those.

git docs: add a category for user-facing file, repo and command UX Create a new "Repository, command and file interfaces" section in the main "git help git" manual page. Move things that belong under this new criteria from the generic "Guides" section. The "Guides" section was added in f442f28a81b (git.txt: add list of guides, 2020-08-05). It makes sense to have e.g. "giteveryday(7)" and "gitfaq(7)" listed under "Guides". But placing e.g. "gitignore(5)" in it is stretching the meaning of what a "guide" is, ideally that section should list things similar to "giteveryday(7)" and "gitcore-tutorial(7)". An alternate name that was considered for this new section was "User formats", for consistency with the nomenclature used for man section 5 in general. My man(1) lists it as "File formats and conventions, e.g. /etc/passwd". So calling this "git help --formats" or "git help --user-formats" would make sense for e.g. gitignore(5), but would be stretching it somewhat for githooks(5), and would seem really suspect for the likes of gitcli(7). Let's instead pick a name that's closer to the generic term "User interface", which is really what this documentation discusses: General user-interface documentation that doesn't obviously belong elsewhere.

'gitremote-helpers' was moved to section 7 in 439cc74632 (docs: move gitremote-helpers into section 7, 2019-03-25), but command-list.txt was not updated at the time. Add these two guides to the list of guides in 'command-list.txt', so that they appear in the output of 'git help --guides', and capitalize the first word of the description of 'gitcredentials', as was done in 1b81d8c (help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides, 2018-05-20) for the other guides.
