2026-04-06doc: gitcvs-migration: rephrase “man page”Kristoffer Haugsbakk1-2/+1
Let’s change the phrasing around the `linkgit` while we’re visiting this file (see previous commit[1]). We use the section syntax to refer to man pages, so writing “man page” next to it is a bit redundant. We can be more concise and just lean on the preposition “in”. And in order to avoid this double “git”: see `git config list` in git-config(1) ... We can rephrase to the subcommand, which is a typical pattern (config or option followed by “in git-command(1)”). † 1: Which also discusses why we do not change a similar phrasing in gittutorial(7) Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-04-06doc: replace git config --list/-l with `list`Kristoffer Haugsbakk1-1/+1
Replace uses of `git config --list` (short or long) with the subcommand `list` since `--list` is deprecated. We will change the “man page” phrasing in gitcvs-migration(7) in the next commit, since we are already visiting that sentence. But note that we leave the “man page” phrasing in the sentence that we touch in gittutorial(7) since it’s a tutorial and not a manual page. We can be more wordy in a tutorial context.

2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-0/+206
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
