 DESCRIPTION     
 |  |  |  | The master source tree for Plan 9 from User Space is maintained
    using the source control system Git as a substitute for Plan 9’s
    replica(8) and dump file system. 
    
    
    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 directory 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 current file
    tree. 
    
    
    Git diff runs Unix’s diff(1) to compare the files in the local
    tree with the corresponding files in the revision history. 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 http://code.swtch.com/plan9port/.
