- expat library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
management over DAV. Similar to "curl" above, this is optional.
- - "GNU diff" to generate patches. Of course, you don't _have_ to
- generate patches if you don't want to, but let's face it, you'll
- be wanting to. Or why did you get git in the first place?
-
- Non-GNU versions of the diff/patch programs don't generally support
- the unified patch format (which is the one git uses), so you
- really do want to get the GNU one. Trust me, you will want to
- do that even if it wasn't for git. There's no point in living
- in the dark ages any more.
-
- "wish", the Tcl/Tk windowing shell is used in gitk to show the
history graphically
repository itself. For example, you could:
$ mkdir manual && cd manual
- $ git init-db
+ $ git init
$ git fetch-pack git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git man html |
