Let's say there are files named 'foo bar.txt', and 'abc def/test.txt' in
repository. When following commands trigger a completion:
git show HEAD:fo<Tab>
git show HEAD:ab<Tab>
The completion results in bash/zsh:
git show HEAD:foo bar.txt
git show HEAD:abc def/
Where the both of them have an unescaped space in paths, so they'll be
misread by git. All entries of git ls-tree either a filename or a
directory, so __gitcomp_file() is proper rather than __gitcomp_nl().
Note the commit f12785a3, which handles quoted paths properly. Like this
case, we should dequote $cur_ for ?*:* case. For example, let's say
there is untracked directory 'abc deg', then trigger a completion:
git show HEAD:abc\ de<Tab>
git show HEAD:'abc de<Tab>
git show HEAD:"abc de<Tab>
should uniquely complete 'abc def', but bash completes 'abc def' and
'abc deg' instead. In zsh, triggering a completion:
git show HEAD:abc\ def/<Tab>
should complete 'test.txt', but nothing comes. The both problems will be
resolved by dequoting paths.
__git_complete_revlist_file() passes arguments to __gitcomp_nl() where
the first one is a list something like:
abc def/Z
foo bar.txt Z
where Z is the mark of the EOL.
- The trailing space of blob in __git ls-tree | sed.
It makes the completion results become:
git show HEAD:foo\ bar.txt\ <CURSOR>
So git will try to find a file named 'foo bar.txt ' instead.
- The trailing slash of tree in __git ls-tree | sed.
It makes the completion results on zsh become:
git show HEAD:abc\ def/ <CURSOR>
So that the last space on command like should be removed on zsh to
complete filenames under 'abc def/'.

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.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):
- 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
