13 * Adding a new built-in
14 * ---------------------
16 * There are 4 things to do to add a built-in command implementation to
19 * . Define the implementation of the built-in command `foo` with
22 * int cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix);
24 * . Add the external declaration for the function to `builtin.h`.
26 * . Add the command to the `commands[]` table defined in `git.c`.
27 * The entry should look like:
29 * { "foo", cmd_foo, <options> },
31 * where options is the bitwise-or of:
34 * If there is not a Git directory to work on, abort. If there
35 * is a work tree, chdir to the top of it if the command was
36 * invoked in a subdirectory. If there is no work tree, no
40 * If there is a Git directory, chdir as per RUN_SETUP, otherwise,
41 * don't chdir anywhere.
45 * If the standard output is connected to a tty, spawn a pager and
46 * feed our output to it.
50 * Make sure there is a work tree, i.e. the command cannot act
51 * on bare repositories.
52 * This only makes sense when `RUN_SETUP` is also set.
54 * `SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX`:
56 * The built-in supports `--super-prefix`.
58 * `DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG`:
60 * If RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY is set, git.c normally handles
61 * the `pager.<cmd>`-configuration. If this flag is used, git.c
62 * will skip that step, instead allowing the built-in to make a
63 * more informed decision, e.g., by ignoring `pager.<cmd>` for
64 * certain subcommands.
66 * . Add `builtin/foo.o` to `BUILTIN_OBJS` in `Makefile`.
68 * Additionally, if `foo` is a new command, there are 4 more things to do:
70 * . Add tests to `t/` directory.
72 * . Write documentation in `Documentation/git-foo.txt`.
74 * . Add an entry for `git-foo` to `command-list.txt`.
76 * . Add an entry for `/git-foo` to `.gitignore`.
79 * How a built-in is called
80 * ------------------------
82 * The implementation `cmd_foo()` takes three parameters, `argc`, `argv,
83 * and `prefix`. The first two are similar to what `main()` of a
84 * standalone command would be called with.
86 * When `RUN_SETUP` is specified in the `commands[]` table, and when you
87 * were started from a subdirectory of the work tree, `cmd_foo()` is called
88 * after chdir(2) to the top of the work tree, and `prefix` gets the path
89 * to the subdirectory the command started from. This allows you to
90 * convert a user-supplied pathname (typically relative to that directory)
91 * to a pathname relative to the top of the work tree.
93 * The return value from `cmd_foo()` becomes the exit status of the
97 extern const char git_usage_string
[];
98 extern const char git_more_info_string
[];
101 * If a built-in has DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG set, the built-in should call this early
102 * when it wishes to respect the `pager.foo`-config. The `cmd` is the name of
103 * the built-in, e.g., "foo". If a paging-choice has already been setup, this
104 * does nothing. The default in `def` should be 0 for "pager off", 1 for "pager
105 * on" or -1 for "punt".
107 * You should most likely use a default of 0 or 1. "Punt" (-1) could be useful
108 * to be able to fall back to some historical compatibility name.
