t0061: workaround issues with --with-dashes and RUNTIME_PREFIX When building Git with RUNTIME_PREFIX and starting a test helper from t/helper/, it fails to detect a system prefix. The reason is that the RUNTIME_PREFIX feature wants to use the location of the Git executable to determine where the support files can be found, e.g. system-wide Git config or the translations. This does not make any sense for the test helpers, though, as they are distinctly not in a directory structure resembling the final installation location of Git. That is the reason why the test helpers rely on environment variables to indicate the location of the needed support files, e.g. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR. If this information is missing, the output will contain warnings like this one: RUNTIME_PREFIX requested, but prefix computation failed. [...] In t0061, we did not expect that to happen, and it actually does not happen in the regular case, because bin-wrappers/test-tool specifically sets GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR (and as a consequence, nothing in test-tool needs to know anything about any runtime prefix). However, with --with-dashes, bin-wrappers/test-tool is no longer called, but t/helper/test-tool is called directly instead. So let's just ignore the RUNTIME_PREFIX warning.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
