git-sh-i18n(1)

NAME

   git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

   . "$(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 git-sh-
       i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext
       implementation in a later version.
