In the first test in this script, 'creates a report with content in the
right places', we generate a report and pipe it into our helper
`check_all_headers_populated()`. The idea of the helper is to find all
lines that look like headers ("[Some Header Here]") and to check that
the next line is non-empty. This is supposed to catch erroneous outputs
such as the following:
[A Header]
something
more here
[Another Header]
[Too Early Header]
contents
However, we provide the lines of the bug report as filenames to grep,
meaning we mostly end up spewing errors:
grep: : No such file or directory
grep: [System Info]: No such file or directory
grep: git version:: No such file or directory
grep: git version 2.41.0.2.gfb7d80edca: No such file or directory
This doesn't disturb the test, which tugs along and reports success, not
really having verified the contents of the report at all.
Note that after 788a776069 ("bugreport: collect list of populated
hooks", 2020-05-07), the bug report, which is created in our hook-less
test repo, contains an empty section with the enabled hooks. Thus, even
the intention of our helper is a bit misguided: there is nothing
inherently wrong with having an empty section in the bug report.
Let's instead split this test into three: first verify that we generate
a report at all, then check that the introductory blurb looks the way it
should, then verify that the "[System Info]" seems to contain the right
things. (The "[Enabled Hooks]" section is tested later in the script.)

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
