From 37cd4f7e820da82e5731c06b7ebf83963d796e5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:51:00 -0400 Subject: Document git-gui, git-citool as mainporcelain manual pages Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation. Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists, and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their own documentation system available from within a running git-gui. But not today. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
