2022-09-07docs: add and use include template for config/* includesÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+2
In b6a8d09f6d8 (gc docs: include the "gc.*" section from "config" in "gc", 2019-04-07) the "git gc" documentation was made to include the config/gc.txt in its "CONFIGURATION" section. We do that in several other places, but "git gc" was the only one with a blurb above the include to orient the reader. We don't want readers to carefully scrutinize "git-config(1)" and "git-gc(1)" looking for discrepancies, instead we should tell them that the latter includes a part of the former. This change formalizes that wording in two new templates to be included, one for the "git gc" case where the entire section is included from "git-config(1)", and another for when the inclusion of "git-config(1)" follows discussion unique to that documentation. In order to use that re-arrange the order of those being discussed in the "git-merge(1)" documentation.

2020-08-31git-imap-send.txt: do verify SSL certificate for gmail.comPhilippe Blain1-2/+9
As a public service, it is unlikely that the Gmail server is configured to throw a certificate that does not verify at the user. Remove the `sslVerify=false` config from the Gmail example. Also, comment it in the `example.com` example, and add a note to the user explaining that they might want to uncomment it if they are having trouble connecting. While at it, use an Asciidoc 'Note' section in the Gmail example also.

2018-05-02doc: keep first level section header in upper caseNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this. While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

2015-03-10imap-send: use cURL automatically when NO_OPENSSL definedKyle J. McKay1-1/+2
If both USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND and NO_OPENSSL are defined do not force the user to add --curl to get a working git imap-send command. Instead automatically select --curl and warn and ignore the --no-curl option. And while we're in there, correct the warning message when --curl is requested but not supported. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.

2014-11-10git-imap-send: use libcurl for implementationBernhard Reiter1-2/+13
Use libcurl's high-level API functions to implement git-imap-send instead of the previous low-level OpenSSL-based functions. Since version 7.30.0, libcurl's API has been able to communicate with IMAP servers. Using those high-level functions instead of the current ones would reduce imap-send.c by some 1200 lines of code. For now, the old ones are wrapped in #ifdefs, and the new functions are enabled by make if curl's version is >= 7.34.0, from which version on curl's CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS (enabling IMAP authentication) parameter has been available. The low-level functions will still be used for tunneling into the server for now. As I don't have access to that many IMAP servers, I haven't been able to test the new code with a wide variety of parameter combinations. I did test both secure and insecure (imaps:// and imap://) connections and values of "PLAIN" and "LOGIN" for the authMethod. In order to suppress a sparse warning about "using sizeof on a function", we use the same solution used in commit 9371322a6 ("sparse: suppress some "using sizeof on a function" warnings", 06-10-2013) which solved exactly this problem for the other commands using libcurl.

2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsMartin von Zweigbergk1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesJeff King1-8/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutThomas Rast1-1/+1
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.

2009-02-15imap.preformattedHTML to tell Thunderbird to send non-flowed textJeremy White1-0/+7
Many e-mail based development communities require non-flowed text to carry patches to prevent whitespaces from getting mangled, but there is no easy way to tell Thunderbird MUA not to use format=flowed, unless you configure it to do so unconditionally for all outgoing mails. A workaround for users who use git-imap-send is to wrap the patch in "pre" element in the draft folder as an HTML message, and tell Thunderbird to send "text only". Thunderbird turns such a message into a non-flowed plain text when sending it out, which is what we want for patch e-mails.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
