Extending git / git plugins / git commands #723

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

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?

ghost commented 2 years ago

@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.

KZiemian commented 2 years ago

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?

Bumping this. As of today there is still no mention of plugins/extensions at all on the site. It would be really useful to have some.

Personally, I'm interested in instructions for installing plugins (probably simpler guide than developing plugins).

I could not find much online. If someone has suggestions, I'd happily take them, until an official guide is available.

(I understand and appreciate this is volunteer work, thank you for even considering doing it @KZiemian)
