21 Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
22 unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
23 and full access to internals.
25 See linkgit:gittutorial[7] to get started, then see
26 linkgit:giteveryday[7] for a useful minimum set of
27 commands. The link:user-manual.html[Git User's Manual] has a more
28 in-depth introduction.
30 After you mastered the basic concepts, you can come back to this
31 page to learn what commands Git offers. You can learn more about
32 individual Git commands with "git help command". linkgit:gitcli[7]
33 manual page gives you an overview of the command-line command syntax.
35 A formatted and hyperlinked copy of the latest Git documentation
36 can be viewed at `https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html`.
42 You are reading the documentation for the latest (possibly
43 unreleased) version of Git, that is available from the 'master'
44 branch of the `git.git` repository.

536 Prints the Git suite version that the 'git' program came from.
539 Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used
540 commands. If the option `--all` or `-a` is given then all
541 available commands are printed. If a Git command is named this
542 option will bring up the manual page for that command.
544 Other options are available to control how the manual page is
545 displayed. See linkgit:git-help[1] for more information,
546 because `git --help ...` is converted internally into `git
550 Run as if git was started in '<path>' instead of the current working
551 directory. When multiple `-C` options are given, each subsequent
552 non-absolute `-C <path>` is interpreted relative to the preceding `-C
555 This option affects options that expect path name like `--git-dir` and
556 `--work-tree` in that their interpretations of the path names would be
557 made relative to the working directory caused by the `-C` option. For
558 example the following invocations are equivalent:
560 git --git-dir=a.git --work-tree=b -C c status
561 git --git-dir=c/a.git --work-tree=c/b status
564 Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value
565 given will override values from configuration files.
566 The <name> is expected in the same format as listed by
567 'git config' (subkeys separated by dots).
569 Note that omitting the `=` in `git -c foo.bar ...` is allowed and sets
570 `foo.bar` to the boolean true value (just like `[foo]bar` would in a
571 config file). Including the equals but with an empty value (like `git -c
572 foo.bar= ...`) sets `foo.bar` to the empty string.
574 --exec-path[=<path>]::
575 Path to wherever your core Git programs are installed.
576 This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH
577 environment variable. If no path is given, 'git' will print
578 the current setting and then exit.
581 Print the path, without trailing slash, where Git's HTML
582 documentation is installed and exit.
585 Print the manpath (see `man(1)`) for the man pages for
586 this version of Git and exit.
589 Print the path where the Info files documenting this
590 version of Git are installed and exit.
594 Pipe all output into 'less' (or if set, $PAGER) if standard
595 output is a terminal. This overrides the `pager.<cmd>`
596 configuration options (see the "Configuration Mechanism" section
600 Do not pipe Git output into a pager.
603 Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by
604 setting the `GIT_DIR` environment variable. It can be an absolute
605 path or relative path to current working directory.
608 Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path
609 or a path relative to the current working directory.
610 This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE
611 environment variable and the core.worktree configuration
612 variable (see core.worktree in linkgit:git-config[1] for a
613 more detailed discussion).
616 Set the Git namespace. See linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] for more
617 details. Equivalent to setting the `GIT_NAMESPACE` environment
620 --super-prefix=<path>::
621 Currently for internal use only. Set a prefix which gives a path from
622 above a repository down to its root. One use is to give submodules
623 context about the superproject that invoked it.
626 Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR
627 environment is not set, it is set to the current working
630 --no-replace-objects::
631 Do not use replacement refs to replace Git objects. See
632 linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
634 --literal-pathspecs::
635 Treat pathspecs literally (i.e. no globbing, no pathspec magic).
636 This is equivalent to setting the `GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS` environment
640 Add "glob" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
641 the `GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS` environment variable to `1`. Disabling
642 globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec
646 Add "literal" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
647 the `GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS` environment variable to `1`. Enabling
648 globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec
652 Add "icase" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
653 the `GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS` environment variable to `1`.
658 We divide Git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level
659 ("plumbing") commands.
661 High-level commands (porcelain)
662 -------------------------------
664 We separate the porcelain commands into the main commands and some
665 ancillary user utilities.
667 Main porcelain commands
668 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
670 include::cmds-mainporcelain.txt[]
676 include::cmds-ancillarymanipulators.txt[]
680 include::cmds-ancillaryinterrogators.txt[]
683 Interacting with Others
684 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
686 These commands are to interact with foreign SCM and with other
687 people via patch over e-mail.
689 include::cmds-foreignscminterface.txt[]
692 Low-level commands (plumbing)
693 -----------------------------
695 Although Git includes its
696 own porcelain layer, its low-level commands are sufficient to support
697 development of alternative porcelains. Developers of such porcelains
698 might start by reading about linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
699 linkgit:git-read-tree[1].
701 The interface (input, output, set of options and the semantics)
702 to these low-level commands are meant to be a lot more stable
703 than Porcelain level commands, because these commands are
704 primarily for scripted use. The interface to Porcelain commands
705 on the other hand are subject to change in order to improve the
708 The following description divides
709 the low-level commands into commands that manipulate objects (in
710 the repository, index, and working tree), commands that interrogate and
711 compare objects, and commands that move objects and references between
715 Manipulation commands
716 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
718 include::cmds-plumbingmanipulators.txt[]
721 Interrogation commands
722 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
724 include::cmds-plumbinginterrogators.txt[]
726 In general, the interrogate commands do not touch the files in
730 Synching repositories
731 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
733 include::cmds-synchingrepositories.txt[]
735 The following are helper commands used by the above; end users
736 typically do not use them directly.
738 include::cmds-synchelpers.txt[]
741 Internal helper commands
742 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
744 These are internal helper commands used by other commands; end
745 users typically do not use them directly.
747 include::cmds-purehelpers.txt[]
750 Configuration Mechanism
751 -----------------------
753 Git uses a simple text format to store customizations that are per
754 repository and are per user. Such a configuration file may look
759 # A '#' or ';' character indicates a comment.
764 ; Don't trust file modes
769 name = "Junio C Hamano"
770 email = "gitster@pobox.com"
774 Various commands read from the configuration file and adjust
775 their operation accordingly. See linkgit:git-config[1] for a
776 list and more details about the configuration mechanism.
779 Identifier Terminology
780 ----------------------
782 Indicates the object name for any type of object.
785 Indicates a blob object name.
788 Indicates a tree object name.
791 Indicates a commit object name.
794 Indicates a tree, commit or tag object name. A
795 command that takes a <tree-ish> argument ultimately wants to
796 operate on a <tree> object but automatically dereferences
797 <commit> and <tag> objects that point at a <tree>.
800 Indicates a commit or tag object name. A
801 command that takes a <commit-ish> argument ultimately wants to
802 operate on a <commit> object but automatically dereferences
803 <tag> objects that point at a <commit>.
806 Indicates that an object type is required.
807 Currently one of: `blob`, `tree`, `commit`, or `tag`.
810 Indicates a filename - almost always relative to the
811 root of the tree structure `GIT_INDEX_FILE` describes.
815 Any Git command accepting any <object> can also use the following
819 indicates the head of the current branch.
823 (i.e. a `refs/tags/<tag>` reference).
827 (i.e. a `refs/heads/<head>` reference).
829 For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see
830 "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
833 File/Directory Structure
834 ------------------------
836 Please see the linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5] document.
838 Read linkgit:githooks[5] for more details about each hook.
840 Higher level SCMs may provide and manage additional information in the
846 Please see linkgit:gitglossary[7].
849 Environment Variables
850 ---------------------
851 Various Git commands use the following environment variables:
855 These environment variables apply to 'all' core Git commands. Nb: it
856 is worth noting that they may be used/overridden by SCMS sitting above
857 Git so take care if using a foreign front-end.
860 This environment allows the specification of an alternate
861 index file. If not specified, the default of `$GIT_DIR/index`
864 `GIT_INDEX_VERSION`::
865 This environment variable allows the specification of an index
866 version for new repositories. It won't affect existing index
867 files. By default index file version 2 or 3 is used. See
868 linkgit:git-update-index[1] for more information.
870 `GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY`::
871 If the object storage directory is specified via this
872 environment variable then the sha1 directories are created
873 underneath - otherwise the default `$GIT_DIR/objects`
876 `GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES`::
877 Due to the immutable nature of Git objects, old objects can be
878 archived into shared, read-only directories. This variable
879 specifies a ":" separated (on Windows ";" separated) list
880 of Git object directories which can be used to search for Git
881 objects. New objects will not be written to these directories.
883 Entries that begin with `"` (double-quote) will be interpreted
884 as C-style quoted paths, removing leading and trailing
885 double-quotes and respecting backslash escapes. E.g., the value
886 `"path-with-\"-and-:-in-it":vanilla-path` has two paths:
887 `path-with-"-and-:-in-it` and `vanilla-path`.
890 If the `GIT_DIR` environment variable is set then it
891 specifies a path to use instead of the default `.git`
892 for the base of the repository.
893 The `--git-dir` command-line option also sets this value.
896 Set the path to the root of the working tree.
897 This can also be controlled by the `--work-tree` command-line
898 option and the core.worktree configuration variable.
901 Set the Git namespace; see linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] for details.
902 The `--namespace` command-line option also sets this value.
904 `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES`::
905 This should be a colon-separated list of absolute paths. If
906 set, it is a list of directories that Git should not chdir up
907 into while looking for a repository directory (useful for
908 excluding slow-loading network directories). It will not
909 exclude the current working directory or a GIT_DIR set on the
910 command line or in the environment. Normally, Git has to read
911 the entries in this list and resolve any symlink that
912 might be present in order to compare them with the current
913 directory. However, if even this access is slow, you
914 can add an empty entry to the list to tell Git that the
915 subsequent entries are not symlinks and needn't be resolved;
917 `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/maybe/symlink::/very/slow/non/symlink`.
919 `GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM`::
920 When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository
921 directory, Git tries to find such a directory in the parent
922 directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it
923 does not cross filesystem boundaries. This environment variable
924 can be set to true to tell Git not to stop at filesystem
925 boundaries. Like `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES`, this will not affect
926 an explicit repository directory set via `GIT_DIR` or on the
930 If this variable is set to a path, non-worktree files that are
931 normally in $GIT_DIR will be taken from this path
932 instead. Worktree-specific files such as HEAD or index are
933 taken from $GIT_DIR. See linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5] and
934 linkgit:git-worktree[1] for
935 details. This variable has lower precedence than other path
936 variables such as GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY...
943 `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`::
944 `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL`::
945 `GIT_COMMITTER_DATE`::
947 see linkgit:git-commit-tree[1]
952 Only valid setting is "--unified=??" or "-u??" to set the
953 number of context lines shown when a unified diff is created.
954 This takes precedence over any "-U" or "--unified" option
955 value passed on the Git diff command line.
957 `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF`::
958 When the environment variable `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF` is set, the
959 program named by it is called, instead of the diff invocation
960 described above. For a path that is added, removed, or modified,
961 `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF` is called with 7 parameters:
963 path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode
967 <old|new>-file:: are files GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF can use to read the
968 contents of <old|new>,
969 <old|new>-hex:: are the 40-hexdigit SHA-1 hashes,
970 <old|new>-mode:: are the octal representation of the file modes.
972 The file parameters can point at the user's working file
973 (e.g. `new-file` in "git-diff-files"), `/dev/null` (e.g. `old-file`
974 when a new file is added), or a temporary file (e.g. `old-file` in the
975 index). `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF` should not worry about unlinking the
976 temporary file --- it is removed when `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF` exits.
978 For a path that is unmerged, `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF` is called with 1
981 For each path `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF` is called, two environment variables,
982 `GIT_DIFF_PATH_COUNTER` and `GIT_DIFF_PATH_TOTAL` are set.
984 `GIT_DIFF_PATH_COUNTER`::
985 A 1-based counter incremented by one for every path.
987 `GIT_DIFF_PATH_TOTAL`::
988 The total number of paths.
992 `GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY`::
993 A number controlling the amount of output shown by
994 the recursive merge strategy. Overrides merge.verbosity.
995 See linkgit:git-merge[1]
998 This environment variable overrides `$PAGER`. If it is set
999 to an empty string or to the value "cat", Git will not launch
1000 a pager. See also the `core.pager` option in
1001 linkgit:git-config[1].
1004 This environment variable overrides `$EDITOR` and `$VISUAL`.
1005 It is used by several Git commands when, on interactive mode,
1006 an editor is to be launched. See also linkgit:git-var[1]
1007 and the `core.editor` option in linkgit:git-config[1].
1011 If either of these environment variables is set then 'git fetch'
1012 and 'git push' will use the specified command instead of 'ssh'
1013 when they need to connect to a remote system.
1014 The command will be given exactly two or four arguments: the
1015 'username@host' (or just 'host') from the URL and the shell
1016 command to execute on that remote system, optionally preceded by
1017 `-p` (literally) and the 'port' from the URL when it specifies
1018 something other than the default SSH port.
1020 `$GIT_SSH_COMMAND` takes precedence over `$GIT_SSH`, and is interpreted
1021 by the shell, which allows additional arguments to be included.
1022 `$GIT_SSH` on the other hand must be just the path to a program
1023 (which can be a wrapper shell script, if additional arguments are
1026 Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your
1027 personal `.ssh/config` file. Please consult your ssh documentation
1028 for further details.
1031 If this environment variable is set, then Git commands which need to
1032 acquire passwords or passphrases (e.g. for HTTP or IMAP authentication)
1033 will call this program with a suitable prompt as command-line argument
1034 and read the password from its STDOUT. See also the `core.askPass`
1035 option in linkgit:git-config[1].
1037 `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT`::
1038 If this environment variable is set to `0`, git will not prompt
1039 on the terminal (e.g., when asking for HTTP authentication).
1041 `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM`::
1042 Whether to skip reading settings from the system-wide
1043 `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig` file. This environment variable can
1044 be used along with `$HOME` and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` to create a
1045 predictable environment for a picky script, or you can set it
1046 temporarily to avoid using a buggy `/etc/gitconfig` file while
1047 waiting for someone with sufficient permissions to fix it.
1050 If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such
1051 as 'git blame' (in incremental mode), 'git rev-list', 'git log',
1052 'git check-attr' and 'git check-ignore' will
1053 force a flush of the output stream after each record have been
1055 variable is set to "0", the output of these commands will be done
1056 using completely buffered I/O. If this environment variable is
1057 not set, Git will choose buffered or record-oriented flushing
1058 based on whether stdout appears to be redirected to a file or not.
1061 Enables general trace messages, e.g. alias expansion, built-in
1062 command execution and external command execution.
1064 If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison
1065 is case insensitive), trace messages will be printed to
1068 If the variable is set to an integer value greater than 2
1069 and lower than 10 (strictly) then Git will interpret this
1070 value as an open file descriptor and will try to write the
1071 trace messages into this file descriptor.
1073 Alternatively, if the variable is set to an absolute path
1074 (starting with a '/' character), Git will interpret this
1075 as a file path and will try to write the trace messages
1078 Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or
1079 "false" (case insensitive) disables trace messages.
1081 `GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS`::
1082 Enables trace messages for all accesses to any packs. For each
1083 access, the pack file name and an offset in the pack is
1084 recorded. This may be helpful for troubleshooting some
1085 pack-related performance problems.
1086 See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
1088 `GIT_TRACE_PACKET`::
1089 Enables trace messages for all packets coming in or out of a
1090 given program. This can help with debugging object negotiation
1091 or other protocol issues. Tracing is turned off at a packet
1092 starting with "PACK" (but see `GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE` below).
1093 See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
1095 `GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE`::
1096 Enables tracing of packfiles sent or received by a
1097 given program. Unlike other trace output, this trace is
1098 verbatim: no headers, and no quoting of binary data. You almost
1099 certainly want to direct into a file (e.g.,
1100 `GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE=/tmp/my.pack`) rather than displaying it on
1101 the terminal or mixing it with other trace output.
1103 Note that this is currently only implemented for the client side
1104 of clones and fetches.
1106 `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE`::
1107 Enables performance related trace messages, e.g. total execution
1108 time of each Git command.
1109 See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
1112 Enables trace messages printing the .git, working tree and current
1113 working directory after Git has completed its setup phase.
1114 See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
1116 `GIT_TRACE_SHALLOW`::
1117 Enables trace messages that can help debugging fetching /
1118 cloning of shallow repositories.
1119 See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
1122 Enables a curl full trace dump of all incoming and outgoing data,
1123 including descriptive information, of the git transport protocol.
1124 This is similar to doing curl `--trace-ascii` on the command line.
1125 This option overrides setting the `GIT_CURL_VERBOSE` environment
1127 See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
1129 `GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS`::
1130 Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
1131 pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example,
1132 running `GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 git log -- '*.c'` will search
1133 for commits that touch the path `*.c`, not any paths that the
1134 glob `*.c` matches. You might want this if you are feeding
1135 literal paths to Git (e.g., paths previously given to you by
1136 `git ls-tree`, `--raw` diff output, etc).
1138 `GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS`::
1139 Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
1140 pathspecs as glob patterns (aka "glob" magic).
1142 `GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS`::
1143 Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
1144 pathspecs as literal (aka "literal" magic).
1146 `GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS`::
1147 Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
1148 pathspecs as case-insensitive.
1150 `GIT_REFLOG_ACTION`::
1151 When a ref is updated, reflog entries are created to keep
1152 track of the reason why the ref was updated (which is
1153 typically the name of the high-level command that updated
1154 the ref), in addition to the old and new values of the ref.
1155 A scripted Porcelain command can use set_reflog_action
1156 helper function in `git-sh-setup` to set its name to this
1157 variable when it is invoked as the top level command by the
1158 end user, to be recorded in the body of the reflog.
1160 `GIT_REF_PARANOIA`::
1161 If set to `1`, include broken or badly named refs when iterating
1162 over lists of refs. In a normal, non-corrupted repository, this
1163 does nothing. However, enabling it may help git to detect and
1164 abort some operations in the presence of broken refs. Git sets
1165 this variable automatically when performing destructive
1166 operations like linkgit:git-prune[1]. You should not need to set
1167 it yourself unless you want to be paranoid about making sure
1168 an operation has touched every ref (e.g., because you are
1169 cloning a repository to make a backup).
1171 `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL`::
1172 If set to a colon-separated list of protocols, behave as if
1173 `protocol.allow` is set to `never`, and each of the listed
1174 protocols has `protocol.<name>.allow` set to `always`
1175 (overriding any existing configuration). In other words, any
1176 protocol not mentioned will be disallowed (i.e., this is a
1177 whitelist, not a blacklist). See the description of
1178 `protocol.allow` in linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
1180 `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER`::
1181 Set to 0 to prevent protocols used by fetch/push/clone which are
1182 configured to the `user` state. This is useful to restrict recursive
1183 submodule initialization from an untrusted repository or for programs
1184 which feed potentially-untrusted URLS to git commands. See
1185 linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
1187 Discussion[[Discussion]]
1188 ------------------------
1190 More detail on the following is available from the
1191 link:user-manual.html#git-concepts[Git concepts chapter of the
1192 user-manual] and linkgit:gitcore-tutorial[7].
1194 A Git project normally consists of a working directory with a ".git"
1195 subdirectory at the top level. The .git directory contains, among other
1196 things, a compressed object database representing the complete history
1197 of the project, an "index" file which links that history to the current
1198 contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that history such
1199 as tags and branch heads.
1201 The object database contains objects of three main types: blobs, which
1202 hold file data; trees, which point to blobs and other trees to build up
1203 directory hierarchies; and commits, which each reference a single tree
1204 and some number of parent commits.
1206 The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or
1207 "version", represents a step in the project's history, and each parent
1208 represents an immediately preceding step. Commits with more than one
1209 parent represent merges of independent lines of development.
1211 All objects are named by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, normally
1212 written as a string of 40 hex digits. Such names are globally unique.
1213 The entire history leading up to a commit can be vouched for by signing
1214 just that commit. A fourth object type, the tag, is provided for this
1217 When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for
1218 efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files".
1220 Named pointers called refs mark interesting points in history. A ref
1221 may contain the SHA-1 name of an object or the name of another ref. Refs
1222 with names beginning `ref/head/` contain the SHA-1 name of the most
1223 recent commit (or "head") of a branch under development. SHA-1 names of
1224 tags of interest are stored under `ref/tags/`. A special ref named
1225 `HEAD` contains the name of the currently checked-out branch.
1227 The index file is initialized with a list of all paths and, for each
1228 path, a blob object and a set of attributes. The blob object represents
1229 the contents of the file as of the head of the current branch. The
1230 attributes (last modified time, size, etc.) are taken from the
1231 corresponding file in the working tree. Subsequent changes to the
1232 working tree can be found by comparing these attributes. The index may
1233 be updated with new content, and new commits may be created from the
1234 content stored in the index.
1236 The index is also capable of storing multiple entries (called "stages")
1237 for a given pathname. These stages are used to hold the various
1238 unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress.
