diff: move diff.wsErrorHighlight to "basic" config We parse diff.wsErrorHighlight in git_diff_ui_config(), meaning that it doesn't take effect for plumbing commands, only for porcelains like git-diff itself. This is mildly annoying as it means scripts like add--interactive, which produce a user-visible diff with color, don't respect the option. We could teach that script to parse the config and pass it along as --ws-error-highlight to the diff plumbing. But there's a simpler solution. It should be reasonably safe for plumbing to respect this option, as it only kicks in when color is otherwise enabled. And anybody parsing colorized output must already deal with the fact that color.diff.* may change the exact output they see; those options have been part of git_diff_basic_config() since its inception in 9a1805a872 (add a "basic" diff config callback, 2008-01-04). So we can just move it to the "basic" config, which fixes add--interactive, along with any other script in the same boat, with a very low risk of hurting any plumbing users.

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.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
