 # Utilities

+TMI is starting to collect a number of small utilities for git.  Each utility
+has a man page describing its operation.  A few notables:
 
-* git-empty-branch.  Create an empty branch in a local git repository.
+* `git-diffall`.  Provides a facility for file-aware visual diff using an
+  external diff tool such as kdiff3, meld, or a similar tool.
 
-* git-local.  Store local branches in a shared git repository under a private
-  namespace.  git-local provides upload, download, remove and list operations.
-  We use this tool to backup up local commits not yet suitable for pushing into
-  a local shared branch.
+* `git-empty-branch`.  Create an empty branch in a local git repository.
 
-* git-publish-branch.  A shell version of the ruby script created by William
+* `git-local`.  Store local branches in a shared git repository under a private
+  namespace.  Upload, download, remove and list operations are provided.  We
+  use this tool to backup up local commits not yet suitable for pushing into a
+  local shared branch.
+
+* `git-overview`.  A simple script that scans a directory tree for git repos,
+  showing the overall state of each.
+
+* `git-publish-branch`.  A shell version of the ruby script created by William
   Morgan.  See his [git utilities page](http://git-wt-commit.rubyforge.org).
   We did not want to have to install ruby just for this one little utility.
+
+* `git-push-public`.  Used by TMI to replicate changes made to open source
+  projects hosted on TMI private servers to the TMI public server.
+
+* `server-gc`.  A tool to run git-gc on each bare git repository found within a
+  given filesystem directory tree.  Newest versions of git generally make this
+  utility redundant.
+
+* `update-mirror`.  Used by TMI to update a local git mirror of an upstream git
+  or svn repository.  Derived from the clone.sh script found at
+  [girocco](http://repo.or.cz/w/girocco.git).
+
+# Installation
+
+These scripts are not packaged in the [[aptrepo]].  To install the utilities,
+copy the scripts to `/usr/local/bin` and ensure they have execute permission.
+Then copy the `*.1` files, which are the man pages, to `/usr/local/man/man1`.
