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.

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-.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://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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):
