So that we can have a nice zsh completion output: % git <tab> add -- add file contents to the index bisect -- find by binary search the change that introduced a bug branch -- list, create, or delete branches checkout -- checkout a branch or paths to the working tree clone -- clone a repository into a new directory commit -- record changes to the repository diff -- show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc fetch -- download objects and refs from another repository grep -- print lines matching a pattern init -- create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one log -- show commit logs merge -- join two or more development histories together mv -- move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink pull -- fetch from and merge with another repository or a local branch push -- update remote refs along with associated objects rebase -- forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head reset -- reset current HEAD to the specified state rm -- remove files from the working tree and from the index show -- show various types of objects status -- show the working tree status tag -- create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG And other niceties, like 'git --git-dir=<tab>' showing only directories. For the rest, the bash completion stuff is still used. Also, add my copyright, since this more than a thin wrapper.

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
