git-sh-i18n(1)
==============
NAME
----
git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'. "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever.
This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
`.`) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell
script. It provides wrappers for the GNU `gettext` and
`eval_gettext` functions accessible through the `gettext.sh`
script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on systems
without GNU gettext.
FUNCTIONS
---------
gettext::
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper
around `printf(1)`. Will be replaced by a real gettext
implementation in a later version.
eval_gettext::
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper
around `printf(1)` with variables expanded by the
linkgit:git-sh-i18n{litdd}envsubst[1] helper. Will be replaced by a
real gettext implementation in a later version.
