Preserve git remotes.
I have fixed network of git remotes and I would like them to be attached to repository. Unfortunately git-clone doesn't clone remotes. Is there a way around it? ...

Branching my own project from github, then pushing it back to github with branches intact
This feels like im missing something obvious, but i've been reading tutorials for 3 days and can't seem to make it happen. I have a private repo on github. I want to run it as two separate branches. As I understand it, I clone the repo so its on my local machine, then branch it using git branch newbranch git checkout newbranch so fa...
View remote Git revision on Heroku
For deploying to Heroku, I use git push heroku master. But how do I see which revision I pushed up to heroku? (I'm often in doubt if I pushed the recent version up) For those not familiar with it, Heroku's create script generates a remote git repository that you push to. Upon push, the code is deployed magically. Heroku adds a remote r...
Cannot remove git repository completely
I have been using git on windows-msysgit. Whenever I try to remove a repository completely either using explorer or using $ git rm -rf ptp/ fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git it errors out "The data present in the reparse point buffer is invalid" or the fatal error above. What's wrong with me/git? ...
git rebase onto remote updates
I work with a small team that uses git for source cod management. Recently, we have been doing topic branches to keep track of features then merging them into master locally then pushing them to a central git repository on a remote server. This works great when no changes have been made in master: I create my topic branch, commit it, ...
Suddenly unable to git fetch from origin
In my repository, I remotely track our main repository, which is bare. I've never had any problems with fetching from origin the past. However, when I tried to remote update this morning, I got the following error: fatal: '/users/integrator/project' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly erro...
Cleaning remote Git branches
I have moved an SVN repo to Git and probably due to a number of clonings, I'm now left with a bunch of branches that look like BranchA origin/BranchA remotes/BranchA remotes/origin/BranchA remotes/origin/origin/BranchA i.e. the same branch is listed a number of times. How can I clean this mess up. There are > 50 branches, some are not...
git fetch with path instead of remote
I understand the idea of running git fetch <remote>, because the remote branches are then available with git checkout <remote>/<branch>. But how does it work if I just run git fetch path/to/other/repo How can I checkout the corresponding branches? Note that the operation runs silently (even with --verbose), and that no new branch is ...
git remote prune – what am I doing wrong?
From the man page: Deletes all stale tracking branches under <name>. These stale branches have already been removed from the remote repository referenced by <name>, but are still locally available in "remotes/<name>". So I removed a bunch of branches using git push origin :staleStuff and then ran git remote prune origin Howeve...
git push tag -> master
Hi, I am trying to accomplish something that is probably very simple, though I cannot figure out how, or what I'm doing wrong. So to get straight to the point: I want to push for example my tag 1.0.0 to my remote master branch. What I'm doing now is the following: git push production +1.0.0:master Yes, I want to force the push beca...
