GIT-SH-I18N(1)                                                  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&#8217;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.
