 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 Reads the tree information given by <tree-ish> into the index,
 but does not actually *update* any of the files it "caches". (see:
-gitlink:git-checkout-index[1])
+linkgit:git-checkout-index[1])
 
 Optionally, it can merge a tree into the index, perform a
 fast-forward (i.e. 2-way) merge, or a 3-way merge, with the `-m`
