Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] repo: add a default output format to enum output_format
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:20:19 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119210932.68893-2-lucasseikioshiro@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119210932.68893-1-lucasseikioshiro@gmail.com>
Add "default" as an option for --format in both git-repo-info and
git-repo-structure. Using `--format=default` makes those commands use
their default output format.
