Subject: [RFC] CLI option parsing and usage generation for porcelains
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2007 15:29:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1192282153-26684-1-git-send-email-madcoder@debian.org> (raw)
Following Kristian momentum, I've reworked his parse_option module
quite a lot, and now have some quite interesting features. The series is
available from git://git.madism.org/git.git (branch ph/strbuf).
The following series is open for comments, it's not 100% ready for
inclusion IMHO, as some details may need to be sorted out first, and
that I've not re-read the patches thoroughly yet. Though I uses the tip
of that branch as my everyday git for 2 weeks or so without any
noticeable issues.
And as examples are always easier to grok:
$ git fetch -h
usage: git-fetch [options] [<repository> <refspec>...]
-q, --quiet be quiet
-v, --verbose be verbose
-a, --append append in .git/FETCH_HEAD
-f, --force force non fast-forwards updates
--no-tags don't follow tags at all
-t, --tags fetch all tags
--depth <depth> deepen history of a shallow clone
Advanced Options
-k, --keep keep downloaded pack
-u, --update-head-ok allow to update the head in the current branch
--upload-pack <path> path to git-upload-pack on the remote
$ git rm -rf xdiff # yeah -rf now works !
rm 'xdiff/xdiff.h'
rm 'xdiff/xdiffi.c'
rm 'xdiff/xdiffi.h'
