From 8cbab786bb7592fda2253b1c0d71c9c025e9984b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 12:50:49 -0400 Subject: prefer xdot over dot * map: Run xdot if it's available in PATH. On OSX, the dot command does not support graphical display, while xdot does. * Debian: xdot is a better interactive viewer than dot, so Suggest xdot, rather than graphviz. --- doc/git-annex-map.mdwn | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/git-annex-map.mdwn') diff --git a/doc/git-annex-map.mdwn b/doc/git-annex-map.mdwn index cf28a958e..ece26b367 100644 --- a/doc/git-annex-map.mdwn +++ b/doc/git-annex-map.mdwn @@ -10,8 +10,8 @@ git annex map Helps you keep track of your repositories, and the connections between them, by going out and looking at all the ones it can get to, and generating a -Graphviz file displaying it all.
