PDF and other formats can be downloaded here: https://readthedocs.org/projects/git-extensions-documentation/downloads/

Note: Only the HTML format is "supported" (i.e. from the display point of view). Other formats might have layout issues but the content remains the same for all formats, whether or not you build it locally (provided your local clone is up to date).

Build

HTML

Simply run make-html.cmd. You can also use make-singlehtml.cmd to generate a single HTML file. The make_and_start_Browser.cmd is an alias of make-html.cmd that will open in your default browser the documentation main index.

HTML Help Files

Warning: This format is not completely supported (i.e. you can generate it but we don't guarantee as good a display quality as for HTML).

Download HTML Help Workshop (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21138).

To build the file, use make-HTMLHelp.cmd

PDF

Warning: This format is not completely supported (i.e. you can generate it but we don't guarantee as good a display quality as for HTML).

To use the PDF builder, you'll need to install:

  • rst2pdf easy_install rst2pdf
  • pil easy_install pil

Also add ,'rst2pdf.pdfbuilder' to the source/conf.py file at the line 28. Then run make.cmd pdf.
