Subject: [PATCH tig 1/2] Document how to use pipes and redirection with 'bind'
Date: Sat, 2 May 2020 20:41:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200502184152.26550-1-wsa@kernel.org> (raw)
When my bind command using a pipe did not work, I grepped through the
docs for 'pipe' and 'redirection' with no results. Only after I found
out in the issues tracker that it was intentional, then I noticed the
solution in the examples, too.
Add a paragraph to make it more explicit.

user whether to execute the command and will exit Tig after completion.

+must run them in a subshell, i.e. embed your commands in `sh -c '<commands>'`.
