Class TextBuiltin

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jgit.pgm.TextBuiltin

public abstract class TextBuiltin
extends Object

Abstract command which can be invoked from the command line.

Commands are configured with a single "current" repository and then the execute(String[]) method is invoked with the arguments that appear on the command line after the command name.

Command constructors should perform as little work as possible as they may be invoked very early during process loading, and the command may not execute even though it was constructed.
