Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/6] doc: Add bit on extending git to Hacking Git
Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 19:27:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200525232727.21096-3-keni@his.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200525232727.21096-1-keni@his.com>

for information on extending Gut, so add a short section of links to
places where that information actually lives.
