19 | ----------- | |
23091e95 BF |
20 | Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an |
21 | unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations | |
22 | and full access to internals. | |
23 | ||
6998e4db | 24 | See linkgit:gittutorial[7] to get started, then see |
7687ae98 JH |
25 | link:everyday.html[Everyday Git] for a useful minimum set of |
26 | commands. The link:user-manual.html[Git User's Manual] has a more | |
27 | in-depth introduction. | |

29 | After you mastered the basic concepts, you can come back to this |
30 | page to learn what commands git offers. You can learn more about | |
31 | individual git commands with "git help command". linkgit:gitcli[7] | |
32 | manual page gives you an overview of the command line command syntax. | |

354 | OPTIONS |
355 | ------- | |
356 | --version:: | |
a87cd02c | 357 | Prints the git suite version that the 'git' program came from. |
cb22bc44 AE |
358 | |
359 | --help:: | |
a87cd02c | 360 | Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used |
0f6f195b CC |
361 | commands. If the option '--all' or '-a' is given then all |
362 | available commands are printed. If a git command is named this | |
363 | option will bring up the manual page for that command. | |
45533d26 CC |
364 | + |
365 | Other options are available to control how the manual page is | |
5162e697 | 366 | displayed. See linkgit:git-help[1] for more information, |
db5d6666 JN |
367 | because `git --help ...` is converted internally into `git |
368 | help ...`. | |
cb22bc44 | 369 | |
8b1fa778 AR |
370 | -c <name>=<value>:: |
371 | Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value | |
372 | given will override values from configuration files. | |
373 | The <name> is expected in the same format as listed by | |
374 | 'git config' (subkeys separated by dots). | |
375 | ||
62b4698e | 376 | --exec-path[=<path>]:: |
a87cd02c | 377 | Path to wherever your core git programs are installed. |
cb22bc44 | 378 | This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH |
56992f76 | 379 | environment variable. If no path is given, 'git' will print |
cb22bc44 AE |
380 | the current setting and then exit. |
381 | ||
89a56bfb | 382 | --html-path:: |
239b5ed9 JN |
383 | Print the path, without trailing slash, where git's HTML |
384 | documentation is installed and exit. | |
89a56bfb | 385 | |
f2dd8c37 | 386 | --man-path:: |
239b5ed9 JN |
387 | Print the manpath (see `man(1)`) for the man pages for |
388 | this version of git and exit. | |
f2dd8c37 JS |
389 | |
390 | --info-path:: | |
239b5ed9 JN |
391 | Print the path where the Info files documenting this |
392 | version of git are installed and exit. | |

3240240f SB |
394 | -p:: |
395 | --paginate:: | |
06300d97 JN |
396 | Pipe all output into 'less' (or if set, $PAGER) if standard |
397 | output is a terminal. This overrides the `pager.<cmd>` | |
398 | configuration options (see the "Configuration Mechanism" section | |
399 | below). | |
6acbcb92 | 400 | |
463a849d MM |
401 | --no-pager:: |
402 | Do not pipe git output into a pager. | |
403 | ||
6acbcb92 JS |
404 | --git-dir=<path>:: |
405 | Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by | |
302cc11a LY |
406 | setting the GIT_DIR environment variable. It can be an absolute |
407 | path or relative path to current working directory. | |
6acbcb92 | 408 | |
892c41b9 | 409 | --work-tree=<path>:: |
ea472c1e JH |
410 | Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path |
411 | or a path relative to the current working directory. | |
892c41b9 ML |
412 | This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE |
413 | environment variable and the core.worktree configuration | |
ea472c1e JH |
414 | variable (see core.worktree in linkgit:git-config[1] for a |
415 | more detailed discussion). | |
892c41b9 | 416 | |
d49483f0 JT |
417 | --namespace=<path>:: |
418 | Set the git namespace. See linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] for more | |
419 | details. Equivalent to setting the `GIT_NAMESPACE` environment | |
420 | variable. | |
421 | ||
6acbcb92 | 422 | --bare:: |
9277d602 JH |
423 | Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR |
424 | environment is not set, it is set to the current working | |
425 | directory. | |
426 | ||
b0fa7ab5 CC |
427 | --no-replace-objects:: |
428 | Do not use replacement refs to replace git objects. See | |

432 | GIT COMMANDS |
433 | ------------ | |
9755afbd | 434 | |
23091e95 BF |
435 | We divide git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level |
436 | ("plumbing") commands. | |
8b15e2fb | 437 | |
23091e95 BF |
438 | High-level commands (porcelain) |
439 | ------------------------------- | |
440 | ||
441 | We separate the porcelain commands into the main commands and some | |
442 | ancillary user utilities. | |
443 | ||
444 | Main porcelain commands | |
445 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
905197de | 446 | |
377e8139 | 447 | include::cmds-mainporcelain.txt[] |
e31bb3bb | 448 | |
90933efb | 449 | Ancillary Commands |
23091e95 | 450 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
2f2de9b4 JH |
451 | Manipulators: |

7fc9d69f | 458 | |
89bf2077 JH |
459 | |
460 | Interacting with Others | |
461 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
462 | ||
463 | These commands are to interact with foreign SCM and with other | |
464 | people via patch over e-mail. | |
465 | ||
466 | include::cmds-foreignscminterface.txt[] | |
467 | ||
468 | ||
b1f33d62 RR |
469 | Low-level commands (plumbing) |
470 | ----------------------------- | |
471 | ||
472 | Although git includes its | |
473 | own porcelain layer, its low-level commands are sufficient to support | |
474 | development of alternative porcelains. Developers of such porcelains | |
5162e697 DM |
475 | might start by reading about linkgit:git-update-index[1] and |
476 | linkgit:git-read-tree[1]. | |
b1f33d62 | 477 | |
89bf2077 JH |
478 | The interface (input, output, set of options and the semantics) |
479 | to these low-level commands are meant to be a lot more stable | |
480 | than Porcelain level commands, because these commands are | |
481 | primarily for scripted use. The interface to Porcelain commands | |
482 | on the other hand are subject to change in order to improve the | |
483 | end user experience. | |
484 | ||
485 | The following description divides | |
486 | the low-level commands into commands that manipulate objects (in | |
b1f33d62 RR |
487 | the repository, index, and working tree), commands that interrogate and |
488 | compare objects, and commands that move objects and references between | |
489 | repositories. | |
490 | ||
89bf2077 | 491 | |
b1f33d62 RR |
492 | Manipulation commands |
493 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
b1f33d62 | 494 | |
377e8139 | 495 | include::cmds-plumbingmanipulators.txt[] |
b1f33d62 RR |
496 | |
497 | ||
498 | Interrogation commands | |
499 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
500 | ||
377e8139 | 501 | include::cmds-plumbinginterrogators.txt[] |
b1f33d62 RR |
502 | |
503 | In general, the interrogate commands do not touch the files in | |
504 | the working tree. | |
505 | ||
506 | ||
507 | Synching repositories | |
508 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
509 | ||
377e8139 | 510 | include::cmds-synchingrepositories.txt[] |
b1f33d62 | 511 | |
57f6ec02 | 512 | The following are helper commands used by the above; end users |
89bf2077 JH |
513 | typically do not use them directly. |
514 | ||
515 | include::cmds-synchelpers.txt[] | |
516 | ||
517 | ||
518 | Internal helper commands | |
519 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
520 | ||
521 | These are internal helper commands used by other commands; end | |
522 | users typically do not use them directly. | |

527 | Configuration Mechanism |
528 | ----------------------- | |
529 | ||
2fa090b6 | 530 | Starting from 0.99.9 (actually mid 0.99.8.GIT), `.git/config` file |
5773c9f2 | 531 | is used to hold per-repository configuration options. It is a |
addf88e4 | 532 | simple text file modeled after `.ini` format familiar to some |
5773c9f2 JH |
533 | people. Here is an example: |
534 | ||
535 | ------------ | |
536 | # | |
2fa090b6 | 537 | # A '#' or ';' character indicates a comment. |
5773c9f2 JH |
538 | # |
539 | ||
540 | ; core variables | |
541 | [core] | |
542 | ; Don't trust file modes | |
543 | filemode = false | |
544 | ||
545 | ; user identity | |
546 | [user] | |
547 | name = "Junio C Hamano" | |
548 | email = "junkio@twinsun.com" | |
549 | ||
550 | ------------ | |
551 | ||
552 | Various commands read from the configuration file and adjust | |
06300d97 JN |
553 | their operation accordingly. See linkgit:git-config[1] for a |
554 | list. | |

6c84e2e0 | 557 | Identifier Terminology |
2cf565c5 DG |
558 | ---------------------- |
559 | <object>:: | |
2fa090b6 | 560 | Indicates the object name for any type of object. |
2cf565c5 DG |
561 | |
562 | <blob>:: | |
2fa090b6 | 563 | Indicates a blob object name. |
2cf565c5 DG |
564 | |
565 | <tree>:: | |
2fa090b6 | 566 | Indicates a tree object name. |
2cf565c5 DG |
567 | |
568 | <commit>:: | |
2fa090b6 | 569 | Indicates a commit object name. |
2cf565c5 DG |
570 | |
571 | <tree-ish>:: | |
2fa090b6 | 572 | Indicates a tree, commit or tag object name. A |
6c84e2e0 DG |
573 | command that takes a <tree-ish> argument ultimately wants to |
574 | operate on a <tree> object but automatically dereferences | |
575 | <commit> and <tag> objects that point at a <tree>. | |
2cf565c5 | 576 | |
043d7605 TT |
577 | <commit-ish>:: |
578 | Indicates a commit or tag object name. A | |
579 | command that takes a <commit-ish> argument ultimately wants to | |
580 | operate on a <commit> object but automatically dereferences | |
581 | <tag> objects that point at a <commit>. | |
582 | ||
2cf565c5 DG |
583 | <type>:: |
584 | Indicates that an object type is required. | |
2fa090b6 | 585 | Currently one of: `blob`, `tree`, `commit`, or `tag`. |
2cf565c5 DG |
586 | |
587 | <file>:: | |
2fa090b6 JH |
588 | Indicates a filename - almost always relative to the |
589 | root of the tree structure `GIT_INDEX_FILE` describes. | |

591 | Symbolic Identifiers |
592 | -------------------- | |
90933efb | 593 | Any git command accepting any <object> can also use the following |
6c84e2e0 | 594 | symbolic notation: |
c1bdacf9 DG |
595 | |
596 | HEAD:: | |
0abcfbff | 597 | indicates the head of the current branch. |
2fa090b6 | 598 | |
c1bdacf9 | 599 | <tag>:: |
2fa090b6 | 600 | a valid tag 'name' |
0abcfbff | 601 | (i.e. a `refs/tags/<tag>` reference). |
2fa090b6 | 602 | |
c1bdacf9 | 603 | <head>:: |
2fa090b6 | 604 | a valid head 'name' |
0abcfbff | 605 | (i.e. a `refs/heads/<head>` reference). |
2fa090b6 | 606 | |

627 | Environment Variables | |
628 | --------------------- | |
629 | Various git commands use the following environment variables: | |
630 | ||
c1bdacf9 DG |
631 | The git Repository |
632 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
633 | These environment variables apply to 'all' core git commands. Nb: it | |
634 | is worth noting that they may be used/overridden by SCMS sitting above | |
2fa090b6 | 635 | git so take care if using Cogito etc. |
c1bdacf9 DG |
636 | |
637 | 'GIT_INDEX_FILE':: | |
638 | This environment allows the specification of an alternate | |
5f3aa197 LS |
639 | index file. If not specified, the default of `$GIT_DIR/index` |
640 | is used. | |
c1bdacf9 DG |
641 | |
642 | 'GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY':: | |
643 | If the object storage directory is specified via this | |
644 | environment variable then the sha1 directories are created | |
645 | underneath - otherwise the default `$GIT_DIR/objects` | |
646 | directory is used. | |
647 | ||
648 | 'GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES':: | |
649 | Due to the immutable nature of git objects, old objects can be | |
650 | archived into shared, read-only directories. This variable | |
80ba074f JS |
651 | specifies a ":" separated (on Windows ";" separated) list |
652 | of git object directories which can be used to search for git | |
653 | objects. New objects will not be written to these directories. | |
c1bdacf9 DG |
654 | |
655 | 'GIT_DIR':: | |
2fa090b6 JH |
656 | If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it |
657 | specifies a path to use instead of the default `.git` | |
658 | for the base of the repository. | |
75940a00 | 659 | The '--git-dir' command-line option also sets this value. |
c1bdacf9 | 660 | |
892c41b9 ML |
661 | 'GIT_WORK_TREE':: |
662 | Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be | |
663 | used in combination with repositories found automatically in | |
664 | a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set). | |
665 | This can also be controlled by the '--work-tree' command line | |
666 | option and the core.worktree configuration variable. | |
667 | ||
d49483f0 JT |
668 | 'GIT_NAMESPACE':: |
669 | Set the git namespace; see linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] for details. | |
670 | The '--namespace' command-line option also sets this value. | |
671 | ||
0454dd93 DR |
672 | 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES':: |
673 | This should be a colon-separated list of absolute paths. | |
674 | If set, it is a list of directories that git should not chdir | |
675 | up into while looking for a repository directory. | |
676 | It will not exclude the current working directory or | |
677 | a GIT_DIR set on the command line or in the environment. | |
678 | (Useful for excluding slow-loading network directories.) | |
679 | ||
cf87463e | 680 | 'GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM':: |
e6405517 JH |
681 | When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository |
682 | directory, git tries to find such a directory in the parent | |
683 | directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it | |
684 | does not cross filesystem boundaries. This environment variable | |
cf87463e JH |
685 | can be set to true to tell git not to stop at filesystem |
686 | boundaries. Like 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES', this will not affect | |
687 | an explicit repository directory set via 'GIT_DIR' or on the | |
688 | command line. | |

fde97d8a SE |
704 | Only valid setting is "--unified=??" or "-u??" to set the |
705 | number of context lines shown when a unified diff is created. | |
706 | This takes precedence over any "-U" or "--unified" option | |
707 | value passed on the git diff command line. | |

d81ed1b5 | 709 | 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF':: |
fde97d8a SE |
710 | When the environment variable 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' is set, the |
711 | program named by it is called, instead of the diff invocation | |
712 | described above. For a path that is added, removed, or modified, | |
713 | 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' is called with 7 parameters: | |
714 | ||
715 | path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode | |
716 | + | |
717 | where: | |
718 | ||
719 | <old|new>-file:: are files GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF can use to read the | |
720 | contents of <old|new>, | |
721 | <old|new>-hex:: are the 40-hexdigit SHA1 hashes, | |
722 | <old|new>-mode:: are the octal representation of the file modes. | |
fde97d8a SE |
723 | + |
724 | The file parameters can point at the user's working file | |
725 | (e.g. `new-file` in "git-diff-files"), `/dev/null` (e.g. `old-file` | |
726 | when a new file is added), or a temporary file (e.g. `old-file` in the | |
727 | index). 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' should not worry about unlinking the | |
728 | temporary file --- it is removed when 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' exits. | |
729 | + | |
730 | For a path that is unmerged, 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' is called with 1 | |
731 | parameter, <path>. | |

06f59e9f TT |
787 | after each commit-oriented record have been flushed. If this |
788 | variable is set to "0", the output of these commands will be done | |
789 | using completely buffered I/O. If this environment variable is | |

797 | execution and external command execution. | |
2886bdb1 CC |
798 | If this variable is set to an integer value greater than 1 |
799 | and lower than 10 (strictly) then git will interpret this | |

801 | trace messages into this file descriptor. | |
802 | Alternatively, if this variable is set to an absolute path | |

809 | |
810 | More detail on the following is available from the | |
811 | link:user-manual.html#git-concepts[git concepts chapter of the | |
6998e4db | 812 | user-manual] and linkgit:gitcore-tutorial[7]. |
40dac517 BF |
813 | |
814 | A git project normally consists of a working directory with a ".git" | |
815 | subdirectory at the top level. The .git directory contains, among other | |
816 | things, a compressed object database representing the complete history | |
817 | of the project, an "index" file which links that history to the current | |
818 | contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that history such | |
819 | as tags and branch heads. | |
820 | ||
821 | The object database contains objects of three main types: blobs, which | |
822 | hold file data; trees, which point to blobs and other trees to build up | |
02ff6250 | 823 | directory hierarchies; and commits, which each reference a single tree |
40dac517 BF |
824 | and some number of parent commits. |
825 | ||
826 | The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or | |
827 | "version", represents a step in the project's history, and each parent | |
828 | represents an immediately preceding step. Commits with more than one | |
829 | parent represent merges of independent lines of development. | |
830 | ||
831 | All objects are named by the SHA1 hash of their contents, normally | |
832 | written as a string of 40 hex digits. Such names are globally unique. | |
833 | The entire history leading up to a commit can be vouched for by signing | |
834 | just that commit. A fourth object type, the tag, is provided for this | |
835 | purpose. | |
836 | ||
837 | When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for | |
838 | efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files". | |
839 | ||
840 | Named pointers called refs mark interesting points in history. A ref | |
841 | may contain the SHA1 name of an object or the name of another ref. Refs | |
842 | with names beginning `ref/head/` contain the SHA1 name of the most | |
02ff6250 | 843 | recent commit (or "head") of a branch under development. SHA1 names of |
40dac517 BF |
844 | tags of interest are stored under `ref/tags/`. A special ref named |
845 | `HEAD` contains the name of the currently checked-out branch. | |
846 | ||
847 | The index file is initialized with a list of all paths and, for each | |
848 | path, a blob object and a set of attributes. The blob object represents | |
849 | the contents of the file as of the head of the current branch. The | |
850 | attributes (last modified time, size, etc.) are taken from the | |
851 | corresponding file in the working tree. Subsequent changes to the | |
852 | working tree can be found by comparing these attributes. The index may | |
853 | be updated with new content, and new commits may be created from the | |
854 | content stored in the index. | |
855 | ||
856 | The index is also capable of storing multiple entries (called "stages") | |
857 | for a given pathname. These stages are used to hold the various | |
858 | unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress. | |
