<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>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.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>See <a href="gittutorial.html">gittutorial(7)</a> to get started, then see
<a href="giteveryday.html">giteveryday(7)</a> for a useful minimum set of
commands.  The <a href="user-manual.html">Git User&#8217;s Manual</a> has a more
in-depth introduction.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>After you mastered the basic concepts, you can come back to this
page to learn what commands Git offers.  You can learn more about
individual Git commands with "git help command".  <a href="gitcli.html">gitcli(7)</a>
manual page gives you an overview of the command-line command syntax.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A formatted and hyperlinked copy of the latest Git documentation
can be viewed at <a href="https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html" class="bare">https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html</a>

<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">-v</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--version</dt>
<dd>
<p>Prints the Git suite version that the <em>git</em> program came from.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This option is internally converted to <code>git version ...</code> and accepts
the same options as the <a href="git-version.html">git-version(1)</a> command. If <code>--help</code> is
also given, it takes precedence over <code>--version</code>.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-h</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--help</dt>
<dd>
<p>Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used
commands. If the option <code>--all</code> or <code>-a</code> is given then all
available commands are printed. If a Git command is named this
option will bring up the manual page for that command.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Other options are available to control how the manual page is
displayed. See <a href="git-help.html">git-help(1)</a> for more information,
because <code>git --help ...</code> is converted internally into <code>git
help ...</code>.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-C &lt;path&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Run as if git was started in <em>&lt;path&gt;</em> instead of the current working
directory.  When multiple <code>-C</code> options are given, each subsequent
non-absolute <code>-C &lt;path&gt;</code> is interpreted relative to the preceding <code>-C
&lt;path&gt;</code>.  If <em>&lt;path&gt;</em> is present but empty, e.g. <code>-C ""</code>, then the
current working directory is left unchanged.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This option affects options that expect path name like <code>--git-dir</code> and
<code>--work-tree</code> in that their interpretations of the path names would be
made relative to the working directory caused by the <code>-C</code> option. For
example the following invocations are equivalent:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>git --git-dir=a.git --work-tree=b -C c status
git --git-dir=c/a.git --work-tree=c/b status</pre>
</div>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-c &lt;name&gt;=&lt;value&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value
given will override values from configuration files.
The &lt;name&gt; is expected in the same format as listed by
<em>git config</em> (subkeys separated by dots).</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that omitting the <code>=</code> in <code>git -c foo.bar ...</code> is allowed and sets
<code>foo.bar</code> to the boolean true value (just like <code>[foo]bar</code> would in a
config file). Including the equals but with an empty value (like <code>git -c
foo.bar= ...</code>) sets <code>foo.bar</code> to the empty string which <code>git config
--type=bool</code> will convert to <code>false</code>.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--config-env=&lt;name&gt;=&lt;envvar&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Like <code>-c &lt;name&gt;=&lt;value&gt;</code>, give configuration variable
<em>&lt;name&gt;</em> a value, where &lt;envvar&gt; is the name of an
environment variable from which to retrieve the value. Unlike
<code>-c</code> there is no shortcut for directly setting the value to an
empty string, instead the environment variable itself must be
set to the empty string.  It is an error if the <code>&lt;envvar&gt;</code> does not exist
in the environment. <code>&lt;envvar&gt;</code> may not contain an equals sign
to avoid ambiguity with <code>&lt;name&gt;</code> containing one.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This is useful for cases where you want to pass transitory
configuration options to git, but are doing so on operating systems
where other processes might be able to read your command line
(e.g. <code>/proc/self/cmdline</code>), but not your environment
(e.g. <code>/proc/self/environ</code>). That behavior is the default on
Linux, but may not be on your system.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that this might add security for variables such as
<code>http.extraHeader</code> where the sensitive information is part of
the value, but not e.g. <code>url.&lt;base&gt;.insteadOf</code> where the
sensitive information can be part of the key.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--exec-path[=&lt;path&gt;]</dt>
<dd>
<p>Path to wherever your core Git programs are installed.
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH
environment variable. If no path is given, <em>git</em> will print
the current setting and then exit.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--html-path</dt>
<dd>
<p>Print the path, without trailing slash, where Git&#8217;s HTML
documentation is installed and exit.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--man-path</dt>
<dd>
<p>Print the manpath (see <code>man(1)</code>) for the man pages for
this version of Git and exit.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--info-path</dt>
<dd>
<p>Print the path where the Info files documenting this
version of Git are installed and exit.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-p</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--paginate</dt>
<dd>
<p>Pipe all output into <em>less</em> (or if set, $PAGER) if standard
output is a terminal.  This overrides the <code>pager.&lt;cmd&gt;</code>
configuration options (see the "Configuration Mechanism" section
below).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-P</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-pager</dt>
<dd>
<p>Do not pipe Git output into a pager.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--git-dir=&lt;path&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Set the path to the repository (".git" directory). This can also be
controlled by setting the <code>GIT_DIR</code> environment variable. It can be
an absolute path or relative path to current working directory.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Specifying the location of the ".git" directory using this
option (or <code>GIT_DIR</code> environment variable) turns off the
repository discovery that tries to find a directory with
".git" subdirectory (which is how the repository and the
top-level of the working tree are discovered), and tells Git
that you are at the top level of the working tree.  If you
are not at the top-level directory of the working tree, you
should tell Git where the top-level of the working tree is,
with the <code>--work-tree=&lt;path&gt;</code> option (or <code>GIT_WORK_TREE</code>
environment variable)</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you just want to run git as if it was started in <code>&lt;path&gt;</code> then use
<code>git -C &lt;path&gt;</code>.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--work-tree=&lt;path&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path
or a path relative to the current working directory.
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE
environment variable and the core.worktree configuration
variable (see core.worktree in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> for a
more detailed discussion).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--namespace=&lt;path&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Set the Git namespace.  See <a href="gitnamespaces.html">gitnamespaces(7)</a> for more
details.  Equivalent to setting the <code>GIT_NAMESPACE</code> environment
variable.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--bare</dt>
<dd>
<p>Treat the repository as a bare repository.  If GIT_DIR
environment is not set, it is set to the current working
directory.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-replace-objects</dt>
<dd>
<p>Do not use replacement refs to replace Git objects. See
<a href="git-replace.html">git-replace(1)</a> for more information.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--literal-pathspecs</dt>
<dd>
<p>Treat pathspecs literally (i.e. no globbing, no pathspec magic).
This is equivalent to setting the <code>GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS</code> environment
variable to <code>1</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--glob-pathspecs</dt>
<dd>
<p>Add "glob" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
the <code>GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS</code> environment variable to <code>1</code>. Disabling
globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec
magic ":(literal)"</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--noglob-pathspecs</dt>
<dd>
<p>Add "literal" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
the <code>GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS</code> environment variable to <code>1</code>. Enabling
globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec
magic ":(glob)"</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--icase-pathspecs</dt>
<dd>
<p>Add "icase" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
the <code>GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS</code> environment variable to <code>1</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--no-optional-locks</dt>
<dd>
<p>Do not perform optional operations that require locks. This is
equivalent to setting the <code>GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS</code> to <code>0</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--list-cmds=group[,group&#8230;&#8203;]</dt>
<dd>
<p>List commands by group. This is an internal/experimental
option and may change or be removed in the future. Supported
groups are: builtins, parseopt (builtin commands that use
parse-options), main (all commands in libexec directory),
others (all other commands in <code>$PATH</code> that have git- prefix),
list-&lt;category&gt; (see categories in command-list.txt),
nohelpers (exclude helper commands), alias and config
(retrieve command list from config variable completion.commands)</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--attr-source=&lt;tree-ish&gt;</dt>

<p>Although Git includes its

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Various Git commands pay attention to environment variables and change
their behavior.  The environment variables marked as "Boolean" take
their values the same way as Boolean valued configuration variables, e.g.
"true", "yes", "on" and positive numbers are taken as "yes".</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Here are the variables:</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_the_git_repository">The Git Repository</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>These environment variables apply to <em>all</em> core Git commands. Nb: it
is worth noting that they may be used/overridden by SCMS sitting above
Git so take care if using a foreign front-end.</p>
</div>
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_INDEX_FILE</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This environment variable specifies an alternate
index file. If not specified, the default of <code>$GIT_DIR/index</code>
is used.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_INDEX_VERSION</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This environment variable specifies what index version is used
when writing the index file out.  It won&#8217;t affect existing index
files.  By default index file version 2 or 3 is used. See
<a href="git-update-index.html">git-update-index(1)</a> for more information.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the object storage directory is specified via this
environment variable then the sha1 directories are created
underneath - otherwise the default <code>$GIT_DIR/objects</code>
directory is used.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Due to the immutable nature of Git objects, old objects can be
archived into shared, read-only directories. This variable
specifies a ":" separated (on Windows ";" separated) list
of Git object directories which can be used to search for Git
objects. New objects will not be written to these directories.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Entries that begin with <code>"</code> (double-quote) will be interpreted
as C-style quoted paths, removing leading and trailing
double-quotes and respecting backslash escapes. E.g., the value
<code>"path-with-\"-and-:-in-it":vanilla-path</code> has two paths:
<code>path-with-"-and-:-in-it</code> and <code>vanilla-path</code>.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_DIR</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the <code>GIT_DIR</code> environment variable is set then it
specifies a path to use instead of the default <code>.git</code>
for the base of the repository.
The <code>--git-dir</code> command-line option also sets this value.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_WORK_TREE</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set the path to the root of the working tree.
This can also be controlled by the <code>--work-tree</code> command-line
option and the core.worktree configuration variable.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_NAMESPACE</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set the Git namespace; see <a href="gitnamespaces.html">gitnamespaces(7)</a> for details.
The <code>--namespace</code> command-line option also sets this value.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This should be a colon-separated list of absolute paths.  If
set, it is a list of directories that Git should not chdir up
into while looking for a repository directory (useful for
excluding slow-loading network directories).  It will not
exclude the current working directory or a GIT_DIR set on the
command line or in the environment.  Normally, Git has to read
the entries in this list and resolve any symlink that
might be present in order to compare them with the current
directory.  However, if even this access is slow, you
can add an empty entry to the list to tell Git that the
subsequent entries are not symlinks and needn&#8217;t be resolved;
e.g.,
<code>GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/maybe/symlink::/very/slow/non/symlink</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository
directory, Git tries to find such a directory in the parent
directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it
does not cross filesystem boundaries.  This Boolean environment variable
can be set to true to tell Git not to stop at filesystem
boundaries.  Like <code>GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES</code>, this will not affect
an explicit repository directory set via <code>GIT_DIR</code> or on the
command line.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_COMMON_DIR</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>If this variable is set to a path, non-worktree files that are
normally in $GIT_DIR will be taken from this path
instead. Worktree-specific files such as HEAD or index are
taken from $GIT_DIR. See <a href="gitrepository-layout.html">gitrepository-layout(5)</a> and
<a href="git-worktree.html">git-worktree(1)</a> for
details. This variable has lower precedence than other path
variables such as GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY&#8230;&#8203;</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>GIT_DEFAULT_HASH</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>If this variable is set, the default hash algorithm for new
repositories will be set to this value. This value is
ignored when cloning and the setting of the remote repository
is always used. The default is "sha1".

preferable, as potentially destructive operations (e.g.,

ignoring broken refs (and thus considering the history they
point to as not worth saving). The default value is <code>1</code> (i.e.,
be paranoid about detecting and aborting all operations). You

<div class="paragraph">
<p>More detail on the following is available from the
<a href="user-manual.html#git-concepts">Git concepts chapter of the
user-manual</a> and <a href="gitcore-tutorial.html">gitcore-tutorial(7)</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A Git project normally consists of a working directory with a ".git"
subdirectory at the top level.  The .git directory contains, among other
things, a compressed object database representing the complete history
of the project, an "index" file which links that history to the current
contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that history such
as tags and branch heads.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The object database contains objects of three main types: blobs, which
hold file data; trees, which point to blobs and other trees to build up
directory hierarchies; and commits, which each reference a single tree
and some number of parent commits.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or
"version", represents a step in the project&#8217;s history, and each parent
represents an immediately preceding step.  Commits with more than one
parent represent merges of independent lines of development.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>All objects are named by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, normally
written as a string of 40 hex digits.  Such names are globally unique.
The entire history leading up to a commit can be vouched for by signing
just that commit.  A fourth object type, the tag, is provided for this
purpose.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for
efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files".</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Named pointers called refs mark interesting points in history.  A ref
may contain the SHA-1 name of an object or the name of another ref (the
latter is called a "symbolic ref").
Refs with names beginning <code>refs/head/</code> contain the SHA-1 name of the most
recent commit (or "head") of a branch under development.  SHA-1 names of
tags of interest are stored under <code>refs/tags/</code>.  A symbolic ref named
<code>HEAD</code> contains the name of the currently checked-out branch.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The index file is initialized with a list of all paths and, for each
path, a blob object and a set of attributes.  The blob object represents
the contents of the file as of the head of the current branch.  The
attributes (last modified time, size, etc.) are taken from the
corresponding file in the working tree.  Subsequent changes to the
working tree can be found by comparing these attributes.  The index may
be updated with new content, and new commits may be created from the
content stored in the index.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The index is also capable of storing multiple entries (called "stages")
for a given pathname.  These stages are used to hold the various
unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress.</p>

<h2 id="_security">SECURITY</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Some configuration options and hook files may cause Git to run arbitrary
shell commands. Because configuration and hooks are not copied using
<code>git clone</code>, it is generally safe to clone remote repositories with
untrusted content, inspect them with <code>git log</code>, and so on.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>However, it is not safe to run Git commands in a <code>.git</code> directory (or
the working tree that surrounds it) when that <code>.git</code> directory itself
comes from an untrusted source. The commands in its config and hooks
are executed in the usual way.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, Git will refuse to run when the repository is owned by
someone other than the user running the command. See the entry for
<code>safe.directory</code> in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>. While this can help protect
you in a multi-user environment, note that you can also acquire
untrusted repositories that are owned by you (for example, if you
extract a zip file or tarball from an untrusted source). In such cases,
you&#8217;d need to "sanitize" the untrusted repository first.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you have an untrusted <code>.git</code> directory, you should first clone it
with <code>git clone --no-local</code> to obtain a clean copy. Git does restrict
the set of options and hooks that will be run by <code>upload-pack</code>, which
handles the server side of a clone or fetch, but beware that the
surface area for attack against <code>upload-pack</code> is large, so this does
carry some risk. The safest thing is to serve the repository as an
unprivileged user (either via <a href="git-daemon.html">git-daemon(1)</a>, ssh, or using
other tools to change user ids). See the discussion in the <code>SECURITY</code>
section of <a href="git-upload-pack.html">git-upload-pack(1)</a>.</p>
