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> --- t/t7004-tag.sh | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t7004-tag.sh b/t/t7004-tag.sh index 143a8ea..2ed8fc0 100755 --- a/t/t7004-tag.sh +++ b/t/t7004-tag.sh @@ -23,8 +23,8 @@ test_expect_success 'listing all tags in an empty tree should succeed' ' ' test_expect_success 'listing all tags in an empty tree should output nothing' ' - test `git tag -l | wc -l` -eq 0 && - test `git tag | wc -l` -eq 0 + test $(git tag -l | wc -l) -eq 0 && + test $(git tag | wc -l) -eq 0 ' test_expect_success 'looking for a tag in an empty tree should fail' \ @@ -60,8 +60,8 @@ test_expect_success 'listing all tags if one exists should succeed' ' ' test_expect_success 'listing all tags if one exists should output that tag' ' - test `git tag -l` = mytag && - test `git tag` = mytag + test $(git tag -l) = mytag && + test $(git tag) = mytag ' # pattern matching: @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ test_expect_success 'listing a tag using a matching pattern should succeed' \ test_expect_success \ 'listing a tag using a matching pattern should output that tag' \ - 'test `git tag -l mytag` = mytag' + 'test $(git tag -l mytag) = mytag' # todo: git tag -l now returns always zero, when fixed, change this test test_expect_success \ @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ test_expect_success \ test_expect_success \ 'listing tags using a non-matching pattern should output nothing' \ - 'test `git tag -l xxx | wc -l` -eq 0' + 'test $(git tag -l xxx | wc -l) -eq 0' # special cases for creating tags: @@ -90,13 +90,13 @@ test_expect_success \ test_expect_success \ 'trying to create a tag with a non-valid name should fail' ' - test `git tag -l | wc -l` -eq 1 && + test $(git tag -l | wc -l) -eq 1 && test_must_fail git tag "" && test_must_fail git tag .othertag && test_must_fail git tag "other tag" && test_must_fail git tag "othertag^" && test_must_fail git tag "other~tag" && - test `git tag -l | wc -l` -eq 1 + test $(git tag -l | wc -l) -eq 1 ' test_expect_success 'creating a tag using HEAD directly should succeed' ' -- 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
