Replace bare grep with test_grep in test assertions across the
suite, including sourced test helpers (lib-*.sh, *-tests.sh).
test_grep prints the contents of the file being searched on
failure, making debugging easier than a bare grep which fails
silently.
Only assertion-style greps are converted: grep used as a filter
in pipelines, command substitutions, conditionals, or with
redirected I/O is left as-is with a "# lint-ok" annotation.
Existing '! test_grep' calls are rewritten to 'test_grep !' so
that the diagnostic output is preserved on failure.
test_grep requires the file it reads to exist, so '! grep'
assertions that inspect a file whose presence is conditional need
care. In t5537 the '.git/shallow' file is still present after the
repack (the client remains shallow), so the assertion is
converted like any other. In t1400 the '.git/packed-refs' file
exists only with the files backend, so its check is guarded with a
REFFILES prerequisite; the backend-agnostic 'git show-ref' check
that follows still runs under every backend. In t7450 'git~2' is
the NTFS 8.3 short name of a '..git' file and only exists
when 8.3 short-name generation is enabled, so its check is guarded
with a 'test -f' on the path and uses test_grep inside the guard,
the same shape as t1400 (a plain test_grep would BUG when the
short name is absent).
The conversion was generated using a grep-assertion linter
(greplint.pl, added in the following commit) to identify bare
grep calls at command position. To reproduce, from the t/
directory:
# Step 1: annotate the two data-filter greps (grep produces
# data, not a verdict) so the linter skips them.
sed -i '/grep -vf before commits\.raw/s/$/ # lint-ok: data filter/' \
t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh
sed -i '/grep -E "^\[0-9a-f\].*|| :/s/$/ # lint-ok: data filter/' \
t5702-protocol-v2.sh
# Step 1b: two '! grep' assertions need more than a mechanical
# conversion; handle them by hand before the linter-driven steps
# below so it leaves them alone.
#
# t1400: '.git/packed-refs' is absent under reftable, so guard the
# check with REFFILES (a plain test_grep would BUG on the missing
# file):
#
# git update-ref -d HEAD $B &&
# - ! grep "$m" .git/packed-refs &&
# + if test_have_prereq REFFILES
# + then
# + test_grep ! "$m" .git/packed-refs
# + fi &&
# test_must_fail git show-ref --verify -q $m
#
# t7450: git~2 is an NTFS 8.3 short name that exists only when
# short-name generation is enabled, so guard the check on its
# presence with 'test -f' and note in a comment why the path can
# be absent (a plain test_grep would BUG when it is):
#
# - ! grep gitdir squatting-clone/d/a/git~2
# + if test -f squatting-clone/d/a/git~2
# + then
# + test_grep ! gitdir squatting-clone/d/a/git~2
# + fi
# Step 2: reorder pre-existing '! test_grep' to 'test_grep !'
# (must come before steps 3-4 so greplint does not see them)
sed -i 's/! test_grep/test_grep !/' t0031-lockfile-pid.sh
sed -i 's/! test_grep/test_grep !/' t5300-pack-object.sh
sed -i 's/! test_grep/test_grep !/' t5319-multi-pack-index.sh
# Step 3: convert '! grep' -> 'test_grep !'
perl greplint.pl *.sh 2>&1 | cut -d: -f1,2 |
while IFS=: read f l; do
sed -i "${l}s/! *grep/test_grep !/" "$f"
done
# Step 4: convert remaining 'grep' -> 'test_grep'
perl greplint.pl *.sh 2>&1 | cut -d: -f1,2 |
while IFS=: read f l; do
sed -i "${l}s/grep/test_grep/" "$f"
done
To verify, run: make -C t test-greplint

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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.adoc to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc 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.adoc
(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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
