You should use the first form to actually \nrun the command and the hyphenated form for consulting the manual:\n\n\tgit clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git\n\n\tman git-clone\n\nYou may get speedier responses to easy questions on IRC, in #git.\n\nCheers,\nJosh\n"},{"id":"148509","messageId":"20100820075111.GC24678@burratino","threadId":"24799","inReplyTo":"1282288658094-5443370.post@n2.nabble.com","subject":"Re: git commands","fromName":"Jonathan Nieder","fromEmail":"jrnieder@gmail.com","sentAt":"2010-08-20T07:51:11Z","receivedAt":"2010-08-20T07:51:11Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jrnieder@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/281595?v=4"},"body":"sandy2010 wrote:\n\n> I'm new to git and I wonder what is the difference between two commands:\n> \n> \"git clone\" and \"git-clone\" and which one should be use?\n\nBy the way, when documentation points to the latter (and is not\npointing to some man page like git-clone(1)), please feel free to let\nus know, preferrably with a patch. :) There is a history that might\nhave left some of the documentation inconsistent.\n\nRegards,\nJonathan\n"},{"id":"148510","messageId":"vpq39u97m3l.fsf@bauges.imag.fr","threadId":"24799","inReplyTo":"5F6739C3-B537-4694-BC63-F3F74962A47C@gmail.com","subject":"Re: git commands","fromName":"Matthieu Moy","fromEmail":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","sentAt":"2010-08-20T07:57:18Z","receivedAt":"2010-08-20T07:57:18Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/72c8a2705971a25dfaff23cece15130d405685845d911aedd5667ace277f3fc5?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"Joshua Juran writes:\n\n> On Aug 20, 2010, at 12:17 AM, sandy2010 wrote:\n>\n>> I'm new to git and I wonder what is the difference between two\n>> commands:\n>>\n>> \"git clone\" and \"git-clone\" and which one should be use?\n>\n> They're the same command.\n\nExcept that \"git-clone\" doesn't work with Git >= 1.6.

Invoking a git subcommand as \"git-xyzzy\" from the command\nline has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in\n1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding\noutput from \"git --exec-path\" to the $PATH is still supported in this\nrelease, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their\nscripts to use \"git xyzzy\" form, as we will stop installing\n\"git-xyzzy\" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.\n\n-- \n\n\tDavid\n"}]}
