2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson
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>
2021-10-15doc lint: make "lint-docs" non-.PHONYÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Speed up the "lint-docs" target by making it non-.PHONY. Similar to my c234e8a0ecf (Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY, 2021-09-23). We'll now create empty files corresponding to a dependency graph for each of these lint scripts. This speeds things up a bit[1], and makes the output correspond to any in-tree changes we have: $ touch git-add.txt; make lint-docs; make lint-docs GEN cmd-list.made GEN doc.dep LINT GITLINK git-add.txt LINT MAN END git-add.txt LINT MAN SEC git-add.txt make: Nothing to be done for 'lint-docs'. As with the "sparse" target changes this has a hard dependency on the use of ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" in the Makefile, added here in db10fc6c09f (doc: simplify Makefile using .DELETE_ON_ERROR, 2021-05-21). This method also depends on the output for us emitting any errors on STDERR (fixed in a preceding commit), as well us these scripts exiting with non-zero on any errors (which they were already doing). 1. $ git show HEAD~:Documentation/Makefile >Makefile.old $ hyperfine --warmup 2 -L f ",.old" 'make -j1 -f Makefile{f} lint-docs' Benchmark #1: make -j1 -f Makefile lint-docs Time (mean ± σ): 60.8 ms ± 1.4 ms [User: 58.7 ms, System: 2.5 ms] Range (min … max): 58.9 ms … 64.0 ms 48 runs Benchmark #2: make -j1 -f Makefile.old lint-docs Time (mean ± σ): 84.0 ms ± 1.5 ms [User: 78.6 ms, System: 5.7 ms] Range (min … max): 81.8 ms … 87.8 ms 35 runs Summary 'make -j1 -f Makefile lint-docs' ran 1.38 ± 0.04 times faster than 'make -j1 -f Makefile.old lint-docs' Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-10-15doc lint: emit errors on STDERRÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Have all of the scripts invoked by "make check-docs" emit their output on STDERR. This does not currently matter due to the way we're invoking them, but will in a subsequent change. It's a good idea to do this in any case for consistency with other tools we invoke. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-04-10doc lint: fix bugs in, simplify and improve lint scriptÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
The lint-gitlink.perl script added in ab81411ced (ci: validate "linkgit:" in documentation, 2016-05-04) was more complex than it needed to be. It: - Was using File::Find to recursively find *.txt files in Documentation/, let's instead use the Makefile as a source of truth for *.txt files, and pass it down to the script. - We now don't lint linkgit:* in RelNotes/* or technical/*, which we shouldn't have been doing in the first place anyway. - When the doc-diff script was added in beb188e22a (add a script to diff rendered documentation, 2018-08-06) we started sometimes having a "git worktree" under Documentation/. This tree contains a full checkout of git.git, as a result the "lint" script would recurse into that, and lint any *.txt file found in that entire repository. In practice the only in-tree "linkgit" outside of the Documentation/ tree is contrib/contacts/git-contacts.txt and contrib/subtree/git-subtree.txt, so this wouldn't emit any errors Now we instead simply trust the Makefile to give us *.txt files. Since the Makefile also knows what sections each page should be in we don't have to open the files ourselves and try to parse that out. As a bonus this will also catch bugs with the section line in the files themselves being incorrect. The structure of the new script is mostly based on t/check-non-portable-shell.pl. As an added bonus it will also use pos() to print where the problems it finds are, e.g. given an issue like: diff --git a/Documentation/git-cherry.txt b/Documentation/git-cherry.txt [...] and line numbers. git-cherry therefore detects when commits have been -"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[1], linkgit:git-am[1] or -linkgit:git-rebase[1]. +"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2], linkgit:git-am[3] or +linkgit:git-rebase[4]. We'll now emit: git-cherry.txt:20: error: git-cherry-pick[2]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below: git-cherry.txt:20: '"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2]' <-- HERE git-cherry.txt:20: error: git-am[3]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below: git-cherry.txt:20: '"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2], linkgit:git-am[3]' <-- HERE git-cherry.txt:21: error: git-rebase[4]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below: git-cherry.txt:21: 'linkgit:git-rebase[4]' <-- HERE Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-05-10ci: validate "linkgit:" in documentationJunio C Hamano
It is easy to add incorrect "linkgit:<page>[<section>]" references to our documentation suite. Catch these common classes of errors: * Referring to Documentation/<page>.txt that does not exist. * Referring to a <page> outside the Git suite. In general, <page> must begin with "git". * Listing the manual <section> incorrectly. The first line of the Documentation/<page>.txt must end with "(<section>)". with a new script "ci/lint-gitlink", and drive it from "make check-docs". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
