Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] docs: update when `git bisect visualize` uses `gitk`
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2023 04:08:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <042271990895c4cfdedb20c3aed3d4141df610bd.1691122124.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1560.v2.git.1691122124.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: =?UTF-8?q?Matthias=20A=C3=9Fhauer?= <mha1993@live.de>

This check has involved more environment variables than just `DISPLAY` since
508e84a790 (bisect view: check for MinGW32 and MacOSX in addition to X11,
2008-02-14), so let's update the documentation accordingly.

+Git detects a graphical environment through various environment variables:
+`DISPLAY`, which is set in X Window System environments on Unix systems.
+`SESSIONNAME`, which is set under Cygwin in interactive desktop sessions.
+`MSYSTEM`, which is set under Msys2 and Git for Windows.
+`SECURITYSESSIONID`, which is set on macOS in interactive desktop sessions.
