23 ;; `org-git-link.el' defines two new link types. The `git' link
24 ;; type is meant to be used in the typical scenario and mimics the
25 ;; `file' link syntax as closely as possible. The `gitbare' link
26 ;; type exists mostly for debugging reasons, but also allows e.g.
27 ;; linking to files in a bare git repository for the experts.
29 ;; * User friendy form
30 ;; [[git:/path/to/file::searchstring]]
32 ;; This form is the familiar from normal org file links
33 ;; including search options. However, its use is
34 ;; restricted to files in a working directory and does not
35 ;; handle bare repositories on purpose (see the bare form for
38 ;; The search string references a commit (a tree-ish in Git
39 ;; terminology). The two most useful types of search strings are
41 ;; - A symbolic ref name, usually a branch or tag name (e.g.
42 ;; master or nobelprize).
43 ;; - A ref followed by the suffix @ with a date specification
44 ;; enclosed in a brace pair (e.g. {yesterday}, {1 month 2
45 ;; weeks 3 days 1 hour 1 second ago} or {1979-02-26 18:30:00})
46 ;; to specify the value of the ref at a prior point in time
49 ;; [[gitbare:$GIT_DIR::$OBJECT]]
51 ;; This is the more bare metal version, which gives the user most
52 ;; control. It directly translates to the git command
53 ;; git --no-pager --git-dir=$GIT_DIR show $OBJECT
54 ;; Using this version one can also view files from a bare git
55 ;; repository. For detailed information on how to specify an
56 ;; object, see the man page of `git-rev-parse' (section
57 ;; SPECIFYING REVISIONS). A specific blob (file) can be
58 ;; specified by a suffix clolon (:) followed by a path.
