Subject: [PATCH 01/11] config-batch: basic boilerplate of new builtin
Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:19:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c4dab0609613bc5d43bce705dca2f057674a5d5b.1770214803.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2033.git.1770214803.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>
Later changes will document, implement, and test this new builtin. For now,
this serves as the latest example of the minimum boilerplate to introduce a
new builtin.
Recently, we updated the comment in builtin.h about how to create a new
builtin, but failed to mention the required change to meson.build files for
some CI builds to pass. Fix that oversight.
