Welcome to the Git manpages translation project

This project is not about translating Git itself. Unfortunately, Git does not use Weblate and relies on direct use of po files and Git. If you are up to the task, please refer to the specific instructions.

Helpful Tips

Anyway, Git is a version control system (VCS in short) and this kind of software expects users to understand some dedicated concepts. More generally, translating a tool requires at least a minimum of knowledge of its purpose and use. Git is no exception, and its manpages are full of its specifics.

Here are a few helpful advices in order to help you work through this translation.

Know a little more about Git

As said earlier, knowing the base of Git is necessary in order to prevent mistranslations. Even if you are not going to be an expert at Git (you could, given the content of the manpages), you can try to install it and make a basic use of it. To get you started, please refer to the introductory chapters of the Progit book, at least the first three chapters.

Set up a glossary of the key concepts

When translating a software where some words have been chosen to hold some key concepts, it is often necessary to maintain a list of the selected translation of these words, that convey the concept correctly and are used in every place the original word is used.

Git provides a glossary with definitions and Weblate has a glossary feature where a reminder is shown when a glossary term appears in the original string. This is an excellent way to enhance the quality of the translation, while helping translators share the same vocabulary.

Translate placeholders in command lines

When some template command lines contain <terms-in-brackets>, it is helpful for the reader that these terms are translated in their language and used repeatedly (use the glossary for that).

Translate in order

If you don't specify an order on Weblate, the source segments are presented in the order priority, which places in first the content of most used git commands. The corresponding manpages are more susceptible to be read by beginners. So your work has the biggest impact right when starting.

Get in touch the maintainer

In case you need to contact the maintainer for e.g. an issue in a source string or an issue with the translated manpages, the project is hosted on GitHub where issues can be opened.

Contributing to this translation requires agreeing to its contributor agreement.

String added in the repository
A name that points to an <<def_object_name,object name>> or another ref (the latter is called a <<def_symref,symbolic ref>>). For convenience, a ref can sometimes be abbreviated when used as an argument to a Git command; see linkgit:gitrevisions[7] for details. Refs are stored in the <<def_repository,repository>>.

String added in the repository
If set to `0`, then disable all advice messages. These messages are intended to provide hints to human users that may help them get out of problematic situations or take advantage of new features. Users can disable individual messages using the `advice.*` config keys. These messages may be disruptive to tools that execute Git processes, so this variable is available to disable the messages. (The `--no-advice` global option is also available, but old Git versions may fail when this option is not understood. The environment variable will be ignored by Git versions that do not understand it.)

String added in the repository
# Clone a repo (like git clone):
git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project/trunk
# Enter the newly cloned directory:
cd trunk
# You should be on master branch, double-check with 'git branch'
git branch
# Do some work and commit locally to Git:
git commit ...
# Something is committed to SVN, rebase your local changes against the
# latest changes in SVN:
git svn rebase
# Now commit your changes (that were committed previously using Git) to SVN,
# as well as automatically updating your working HEAD:
git svn dcommit
# Append svn:ignore and svn:global-ignores settings to the default Git exclude file:
git svn show-ignore >> .git/info/exclude

String added in the repository
Recursively finds and lists the svn:ignore and svn:global-ignores properties on directories. The output is suitable for appending to the $GIT_DIR/info/exclude file.
