The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $( ... ) construct for command substitution instead of using the back-quotes, or grave accents (`..`). The backquoted form is the historical method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. Because of this the POSIX shell adopted the $(…) feature from the Korn shell. The patch was generated by the simple script for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@xxxxxxxxx> --- git-web--browse.sh | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-web--browse.sh b/git-web--browse.sh index ebdfba6..ae15253 100755 --- a/git-web--browse.sh +++ b/git-web--browse.sh @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ do -b|--browser*|-t|--tool*) case "$#,$1" in *,*=*) - browser=`expr "z$1" : 'z-[^=]*=\(.*\)'` + browser=$(expr "z$1" : 'z-[^=]*=\(.*\)') ;; 1,*) usage ;; @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ do -c|--config*) case "$#,$1" in *,*=*) - conf=`expr "z$1" : 'z-[^=]*=\(.*\)'` + conf=$(expr "z$1" : 'z-[^=]*=\(.*\)') ;; 1,*) usage ;; @@ -100,7 +100,7 @@ then for opt in "$conf" "web.browser" do test -z "$opt" && continue - browser="`git config $opt`" + browser="$(git config $opt)" test -z "$browser" || break done if test -n "$browser" && ! valid_tool "$browser"; then -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
