Created attachment 244356 [details] signed-off .patch The note box: > Git is generally a developer tool. Users may prefer to use … git … Looking ahead, after bug 255323 is fixed: - gitup might be shown here as a preferred (and Handbook-documented) alternative to Git. For now (the patch): - reword the sentence, to not imply that Git is an alternative to Git.
A commit in branch main references this bug: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=ab127c4ff5d21816ebd58f8d6677d82ee6a5815e commit ab127c4ff5d21816ebd58f8d6677d82ee6a5815e Author: Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-05-30 15:23:42 +0000 Commit: Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-05-30 15:23:42 +0000 Do not recommend git as an alternative to git The link description would tell people to use git instead of git for updating ports. Remove that cross reference as suggested in the PR. Note that freebsd-update is eventually going away as well, but keep it here for now and remove it in a separate change in the future. Refrain from mentioning other third party tools in this section for keeping consistency with the rest of the handbook.
