Fwd: My Introduction and a Doubt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey everybody!

I'd love to use this email to introduce myself to the community and
ask for help.

I'm Nirmal Khedkar, student from India. I love making end user
applications, and in this FOSS world, there simply aren't many as big
and impactful as Git. I'd love to contribute Git for GSoC 2020 as well
as for long-term.

Now the doubt:
I'm trying to wrap up the issue mentioned here
(https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues/486) : basically allowing
git bisect to work from subdirectories.  I do consider myself okay in
C but I'm still kind-of stuck here: hence emailing this on the mailing
list.

 When you do "git bisect" in a subdirectory, an error "You need to run
this command from the toplevel of the working tree." is raised. The
error is raised in "git-sh-setup.sh" and the command begins execution
in "bisect--helper.c", but I cant understand how the error appears.
Additionally I'd love to know how the C files linkwith the numerous
shell scripts within Git.

I've searched all I could within the Git project, but if there's any
existing documentation on this, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
Nirmal Khedkar
