This v4 includes the following suggestions:
In command-list.txt:
- Add a [groups] block containing names and description for groups:
[groups]
init starting a working area
worktree working on the current change
remote working with others
info examining the history and state
history growing, marking and tweaking your history
- Add a [commands] header on top of the known command list, and
group names as a third column.
[commands]
git-add mainporcelain common-worktree
git-am mainporcelain
git-annotate ancillaryinterrogators
git-apply plumbingmanipulators
git-archimport foreignscminterface
git-archive mainporcelain
git-bisect mainporcelain
git-blame ancillaryinterrogators
git-branch mainporcelain common-history
This produces the following output of $ git help:
[...]
The most commonly used git commands are:
* starting a working area:
clone Clone a repository into a new directory
init Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize [...]
* working on the current change:
add Add file contents to the index
reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state
* working with others:
fetch Download objects and refs from another repository
pull Fetch from and integrate with another repository [...]
push Update remote refs along with associated objects
* examining the history and state:
log Show commit logs
status Show the working tree status
* growing, marking and tweaking your history:
branch List, create, or delete branches
checkout Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
commit Record changes to the repository
diff Show changes between commits, commit and working [...]
merge Join two or more development histories together
[...]
I removed from the list of common commands: rebase, rm, mv, bisect
because [1] they are not really common to an unfamiliar user, [2] to
save vertical space occupied by group headers.
Thanks to Junio and Eric for their suggestions.
