It was an interesting read. ---------------------------------------------------------------- #2.2.1 "git help init" would give man page. The time when the short help is given is when you mistype options, as in: $ git init --huh? #2.4 By default this command prints a brief paragraph of output... Not really. The default is to give you the entire log message, unless you somehow made --pretty=short the default with your copy of git. The "git log" tool doesn't display the Committer... You can ask it to, so "by default" is missing. #2.7.1 But some poepl, (notably Linus... typo. #2.7.6 for which "git commit --amend" was was what? "invented" perhaps? #2.8.3 Using "git remote" to pull changes other repositories "changes from other repositories". ----------------------------------------------------------------
