Extending git / git plugins / git commands

Open ghost opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

Hello,

This is a continuation of git/git-scm.com#744

A chapter on extending git e.g git-my-command would be nice. There doesn't seem to be a reference or guide on doing it. There's always stack overflow, but that seems to be just a pointer in the right direction.

Basically a new (sub) chapter in 8. Customizing git with the above title (or similar) would be pretty nice to have. Or it could possibly be put in 10. Git Internals since knowing the internals of git can be very helpful.

Would this be acceptable in the book?

Yeah, that'd be a nice addition. I think Chapter 8 is the right place for it; you don't technically need to know plumbing commands to write an extension.

Alright, I'll add it to my TODO list and see when I get around to doing it :)

@LoveIsGrief Should this issue remains open?

@KZiemian unfortunately I never had time to pick this up. IMO, it can stay open as such documentation could be useful to others, but I won't have time to do it.

I will add it to my TODO list. It doesn't mean that I will write this text, but maybe by some miracle this would happen?
