.SH NAME
gitwhich, gitmkdirs, gitxgrep \- Helper programs for git
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gitwhich 
.I file ...
.br
.B gitmkdirs
.I path ...
.br
.B gitxgrep
.I grepcmd args ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.BR gitwhich ", " gitmkdirs " and " gitxgrep
commands.
These commands are internal to \fBgit\fP(1) and should generally not be run directly.
.PP

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
.TP
.BI gitwhich " file ..."
gitwitch returns with an exit status of 0 if any of its \fBfile\fP arguments
exist in the PATH, otherwise it returns 1.
.TP
.BI gitmkdirs " path ..."
Creates the directory \fBpath\fP and any required parent directories.
.TP
.BI gitxgrep " grepcmd args ..."
Used as a helper script by \fBgitrgrep\fP(1), \fBgitregrep\fP(1),
and \fBgitrfgrep\fP(1). Calls \fIgrepcmd\fP, passing \fIargs\fP to it.
.PP
.BR gitwhich ", " gitmkdirs " and " gitxgrep
are part of \fBgit\fP(1), the GNU Interactive Tools.

.SH SEE ALSO
.BR git (1)
.PP
\fBgitview\fP and \fBgit\fP are documented fully by

available via the Info system.
