DESCRIPTION
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and
full access to internals.
See gittutorial(7) to get started, then see Everyday Git[1] for a
useful minimum set of commands. The Git User's Manual[2] has a more
in-depth introduction.
After you mastered the basic concepts, you can come back to this page
to learn what commands Git offers. You can learn more about individual
Git commands with "git help command". gitcli(7) manual page gives you
an overview of the command line command syntax.
Formatted and hyperlinked version of the latest Git documentation can
be viewed at http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/git.html.
OPTIONS
--version
Prints the Git suite version that the git program came from.
--help
Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used commands.
If the option --all or -a is given then all available commands are
printed. If a Git command is named this option will bring up the
manual page for that command.
Other options are available to control how the manual page is
displayed. See git-help(1) for more information, because git --help
... is converted internally into git help ....
-c <name>=<value>
Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value given will
override values from configuration files. The <name> is expected in
the same format as listed by git config (subkeys separated by
dots).
--exec-path[=<path>]
Path to wherever your core Git programs are installed. This can
also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH environment
variable. If no path is given, git will print the current setting
and then exit.
--html-path
Print the path, without trailing slash, where Git's HTML
documentation is installed and exit.
--man-path
Print the manpath (see man(1)) for the man pages for this version
of Git and exit.
--info-path
Print the path where the Info files documenting this version of Git
are installed and exit.
-p, --paginate
Pipe all output into less (or if set, $PAGER) if standard output is
a terminal. This overrides the pager.<cmd> configuration options
(see the "Configuration Mechanism" section below).
--no-pager
Do not pipe Git output into a pager.
--git-dir=<path>
Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by
setting the GIT_DIR environment variable. It can be an absolute
path or relative path to current working directory.
--work-tree=<path>
Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path or a
path relative to the current working directory. This can also be
controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable and
the core.worktree configuration variable (see core.worktree in git-
config(1) for a more detailed discussion).
--namespace=<path>
Set the Git namespace. See gitnamespaces(7) for more details.
Equivalent to setting the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable.
--bare
Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR environment
is not set, it is set to the current working directory.
--no-replace-objects
Do not use replacement refs to replace Git objects. See git-
replace(1) for more information.
--literal-pathspecs
Treat pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. This is
equivalent to setting the GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS environment
variable to 1.

LOW-LEVEL COMMANDS (PLUMBING)
Although Git includes its own porcelain layer, its low-level commands
are sufficient to support development of alternative porcelains.
Developers of such porcelains might start by reading about git-update-
index(1) and git-read-tree(1).
The interface (input, output, set of options and the semantics) to
these low-level commands are meant to be a lot more stable than
Porcelain level commands, because these commands are primarily for
scripted use. The interface to Porcelain commands on the other hand are
subject to change in order to improve the end user experience.
The following description divides the low-level commands into commands
that manipulate objects (in the repository, index, and working tree),
commands that interrogate and compare objects, and commands that move
objects and references between repositories.

CONFIGURATION MECHANISM
Git uses a simple text format to store customizations that are per
repository and are per user. Such a configuration file may look like
this:
#
# A '#' or ';' character indicates a comment.
#
; core variables
[core]
; Don't trust file modes
filemode = false
; user identity
[user]
name = "Junio C Hamano"
email = "gitster AT pobox.com"
Various commands read from the configuration file and adjust their
operation accordingly. See git-config(1) for a list and more details
about the configuration mechanism.
IDENTIFIER TERMINOLOGY
<object>
Indicates the object name for any type of object.
<blob>
Indicates a blob object name.
<tree>
Indicates a tree object name.
<commit>
Indicates a commit object name.
<tree-ish>
Indicates a tree, commit or tag object name. A command that takes a
<tree-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <tree> object
but automatically dereferences <commit> and <tag> objects that
point at a <tree>.
<commit-ish>
Indicates a commit or tag object name. A command that takes a
<commit-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <commit>
object but automatically dereferences <tag> objects that point at a
<commit>.
<type>
Indicates that an object type is required. Currently one of: blob,
tree, commit, or tag.
<file>
Indicates a filename - almost always relative to the root of the
tree structure GIT_INDEX_FILE describes.
SYMBOLIC IDENTIFIERS
Any Git command accepting any <object> can also use the following
symbolic notation:
HEAD
indicates the head of the current branch.
<tag>
a valid tag name (i.e. a refs/tags/<tag> reference).
<head>
a valid head name (i.e. a refs/heads/<head> reference).
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see "SPECIFYING
REVISIONS" section in gitrevisions(7).
FILE/DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
Please see the gitrepository-layout(5) document.
Read githooks(5) for more details about each hook.
Higher level SCMs may provide and manage additional information in the
$GIT_DIR.
TERMINOLOGY
Please see gitglossary(7).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Various Git commands use the following environment variables:
The Git Repository
These environment variables apply to all core Git commands. Nb: it is
worth noting that they may be used/overridden by SCMS sitting above Git
so take care if using Cogito etc.
GIT_INDEX_FILE
This environment allows the specification of an alternate index
file. If not specified, the default of $GIT_DIR/index is used.
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY
If the object storage directory is specified via this environment
variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath -
otherwise the default $GIT_DIR/objects directory is used.
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
Due to the immutable nature of Git objects, old objects can be
archived into shared, read-only directories. This variable
specifies a ":" separated (on Windows ";" separated) list of Git
object directories which can be used to search for Git objects. New
objects will not be written to these directories.
GIT_DIR
If the GIT_DIR environment variable is set then it specifies a path
to use instead of the default .git for the base of the repository.
The --git-dir command-line option also sets this value.
GIT_WORK_TREE
Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be used in
combination with repositories found automatically in a .git
directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set). This can also be controlled
by the --work-tree command line option and the core.worktree
configuration variable.
GIT_NAMESPACE
Set the Git namespace; see gitnamespaces(7) for details. The
--namespace command-line option also sets this value.
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
This should be a colon-separated list of absolute paths. If set, it
is a list of directories that Git should not chdir up into while
looking for a repository directory (useful for excluding
slow-loading network directories). It will not exclude the current
working directory or a GIT_DIR set on the command line or in the
environment. Normally, Git has to read the entries in this list and
resolve any symlink that might be present in order to compare them
with the current directory. However, if even this access is slow,
you can add an empty entry to the list to tell Git that the
subsequent entries are not symlinks and needn't be resolved; e.g.,
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/maybe/symlink::/very/slow/non/symlink.
GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository
directory, Git tries to find such a directory in the parent
directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it
does not cross filesystem boundaries. This environment variable can
be set to true to tell Git not to stop at filesystem boundaries.
Like GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, this will not affect an explicit
repository directory set via GIT_DIR or on the command line.
Git Commits
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, GIT_COMMITTER_NAME,
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, EMAIL
see git-commit-tree(1)
Git Diffs
GIT_DIFF_OPTS
Only valid setting is "--unified=??" or "-u??" to set the number of
context lines shown when a unified diff is created. This takes
precedence over any "-U" or "--unified" option value passed on the
Git diff command line.
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF
When the environment variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is set, the program
named by it is called, instead of the diff invocation described
above. For a path that is added, removed, or modified,
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is called with 7 parameters:
path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode
where:
<old|new>-file
are files GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF can use to read the contents of
<old|new>,
<old|new>-hex
are the 40-hexdigit SHA-1 hashes,
<old|new>-mode
are the octal representation of the file modes.
The file parameters can point at the user's working file (e.g.
new-file in "git-diff-files"), /dev/null (e.g. old-file when a new
file is added), or a temporary file (e.g. old-file in the index).
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF should not worry about unlinking the temporary
file --- it is removed when GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF exits.
For a path that is unmerged, GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is called with 1
parameter, <path>.
other
GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY
A number controlling the amount of output shown by the recursive
merge strategy. Overrides merge.verbosity. See git-merge(1)
GIT_PAGER
This environment variable overrides $PAGER. If it is set to an
empty string or to the value "cat", Git will not launch a pager.
See also the core.pager option in git-config(1).
GIT_EDITOR
This environment variable overrides $EDITOR and $VISUAL. It is used
by several Git commands when, on interactive mode, an editor is to
be launched. See also git-var(1) and the core.editor option in git-
config(1).
GIT_SSH
If this environment variable is set then git fetch and git push
will use this command instead of ssh when they need to connect to a
remote system. The $GIT_SSH command will be given exactly two or
four arguments: the username@host (or just host) from the URL and
the shell command to execute on that remote system, optionally
preceded by -p (literally) and the port from the URL when it
specifies something other than the default SSH port.
To pass options to the program that you want to list in GIT_SSH you
will need to wrap the program and options into a shell script, then
set GIT_SSH to refer to the shell script.
Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your
personal .ssh/config file. Please consult your ssh documentation
for further details.
GIT_ASKPASS
If this environment variable is set, then Git commands which need
to acquire passwords or passphrases (e.g. for HTTP or IMAP
authentication) will call this program with a suitable prompt as
command line argument and read the password from its STDOUT. See
also the core.askpass option in git-config(1).
GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
Whether to skip reading settings from the system-wide
$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig file. This environment variable can be used
along with $HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to create a predictable
environment for a picky script, or you can set it temporarily to
avoid using a buggy /etc/gitconfig file while waiting for someone
with sufficient permissions to fix it.
GIT_FLUSH
If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such as
git blame (in incremental mode), git rev-list, git log, and git
whatchanged will force a flush of the output stream after each
commit-oriented record have been flushed. If this variable is set
to "0", the output of these commands will be done using completely
buffered I/O. If this environment variable is not set, Git will
choose buffered or record-oriented flushing based on whether stdout
appears to be redirected to a file or not.
GIT_TRACE
If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison is case
insensitive), Git will print trace: messages on stderr telling
about alias expansion, built-in command execution and external
command execution. If this variable is set to an integer value
greater than 1 and lower than 10 (strictly) then Git will interpret
this value as an open file descriptor and will try to write the
trace messages into this file descriptor. Alternatively, if this
variable is set to an absolute path (starting with a / character),
Git will interpret this as a file path and will try to write the
trace messages into it.
GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS
Setting this variable to 1 will cause Git to treat all pathspecs
literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example, running
GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 git log -- '*.c' will search for commits
that touch the path *.c, not any paths that the glob *.c matches.
You might want this if you are feeding literal paths to Git (e.g.,
paths previously given to you by git ls-tree, --raw diff output,
etc).
GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL
If set, provide a colon-separated list of protocols which are
allowed to be used with fetch/push/clone. This is useful to
restrict recursive submodule initialization from an untrusted
repository. Any protocol not mentioned will be disallowed (i.e.,
this is a whitelist, not a blacklist). If the variable is not set
at all, all protocols are enabled. The protocol names currently
used by git are:
o file: any local file-based path (including file:// URLs, or
local paths)
o git: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP connection
(or proxy, if configured)
o ssh: git over ssh (including host:path syntax, git+ssh://,
etc).
o rsync: git over rsync
o http: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http". Note
that this does not include https; if you want both, you should
specify both as http:https.
o any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use hg
to allow the git-remote-hg helper)
Note that this controls only git's internal protocol selection.
If libcurl is used (e.g., by the http transport), it may
redirect to other protocols. There is not currently any way to
restrict this.
DISCUSSION
More detail on the following is available from the Git concepts chapter
of the user-manual[3] and gitcore-tutorial(7).
A Git project normally consists of a working directory with a ".git"
subdirectory at the top level. The .git directory contains, among other
things, a compressed object database representing the complete history
of the project, an "index" file which links that history to the current
contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that history such
as tags and branch heads.
The object database contains objects of three main types: blobs, which
hold file data; trees, which point to blobs and other trees to build up
directory hierarchies; and commits, which each reference a single tree
and some number of parent commits.
The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or
"version", represents a step in the project's history, and each parent
represents an immediately preceding step. Commits with more than one
parent represent merges of independent lines of development.
All objects are named by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, normally
written as a string of 40 hex digits. Such names are globally unique.
The entire history leading up to a commit can be vouched for by signing
just that commit. A fourth object type, the tag, is provided for this
purpose.
When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for
efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files".
Named pointers called refs mark interesting points in history. A ref
may contain the SHA-1 name of an object or the name of another ref.
Refs with names beginning ref/head/ contain the SHA-1 name of the most
recent commit (or "head") of a branch under development. SHA-1 names of
tags of interest are stored under ref/tags/. A special ref named HEAD
contains the name of the currently checked-out branch.
The index file is initialized with a list of all paths and, for each
path, a blob object and a set of attributes. The blob object represents
the contents of the file as of the head of the current branch. The
attributes (last modified time, size, etc.) are taken from the
corresponding file in the working tree. Subsequent changes to the
working tree can be found by comparing these attributes. The index may
be updated with new content, and new commits may be created from the
content stored in the index.
The index is also capable of storing multiple entries (called "stages")
for a given pathname. These stages are used to hold the various
unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress.
FURTHER DOCUMENTATION
See the references in the "description" section to get started using
Git. The following is probably more detail than necessary for a
first-time user.
The Git concepts chapter of the user-manual[3] and gitcore-tutorial(7)
both provide introductions to the underlying Git architecture.
See gitworkflows(7) for an overview of recommended workflows.
See also the howto[4] documents for some useful examples.
The internals are documented in the Git API documentation[5].
