By creating new +repositories or registering existing repositories with Scalar, your Git +experience will speed up. Scalar sets advanced Git config settings, +maintains your repositories in the background, and helps reduce data sent +across the network. + +An important Scalar concept is the enlistment: this is the top-level directory +of the project. It usually contains the subdirectory `src/` which is a Git +worktree. This encourages the separation between tracked files (inside `src/`) +and untracked files, such as build artifacts (outside `src/`). When registering +an existing Git worktree with Scalar whose name is not `src`, the enlistment +will be identical to the worktree. + +The `scalar` command implements various subcommands, and different options +depending on the subcommand. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:git-maintenance[1]. + +Scalar +--- +Associated with the linkgit:git[1] suite |
