Git repository
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The master source tree for Plan 9 from User Space is main-
tained using the source control system Git.
The first argument to git is a command, which determines the
form of the rest of the command line.
The clone command downloads a copy of the tree into the
directory plan9, which it will create. After git clone, the
other commands listed should be run within the plan9 direc-
tory tree.
Git downloads the entire revision history of Plan 9 from
User Space in addition to the current tree.
Git pull incorporates changes from the master repository
into the local revision history and applies them to the cur-
rent file tree.
Git diff runs Unix's diff(1) to compare the files in the
local tree with the corresponding files in the revision his-
tory. The special revision HEAD refers to the most recent
version in the version history.
Gitk starts an interactive history viewer.
The Git tree can be inspected on the web at
https://github.com/9fans/plan9port.
