A git tool that meets the specs below is needed. Does one already exists? If not, I will create a script and make it available on GitHub for others to use or contribute. Is there a completely different and better way to solve the need to build/test every commit to a branch in a git repository? Not just to the latest but each one back to ...
I have seen interesting posts explaining subtleties about git reset. Unfortunately, the more I read about it, the more it appears that I don't understand it fully. I come from a SVN background and Git is a whole new paradigm. I got mercurial easily, but Git is much more technical. I think git reset is close to hg revert, but it seems t...
I have a project "A" that is a Git repository. I would like to be able to make multiple copies of project A (B and C), and modify them for clients. "A" is the master so sometimes when I do new functionality i would like to be able to pull them into B or C. But some commits should just stay in A and only be used if making a new clone. ...
I'm looking to rewrite my git repo to use a new branching model I came across: http://nvie.com/git-model But right now all my history lives in the master branch. I'd like to rewrite it (possible using git-filter-branch?) So that all that history is in a branch called development now. Is this possible? It's definitely beyond my limite...
git init echo 'I am foo' > foo.txt git add foo.txt # this woould create a git commit object echo ' I am foo2' > foo.txt git add foo.txt # this would create another git commit object git commit -m 'doe' # this would create two git # objects: one commit object and one tree object How do I get a list of all 4 commits ...
Is it the "end of option" I am used to see in bash (and if yes, why do we use it) or is it a Git notation for the Index or the HEAD? ...
Hi, I want to be able to pass anything to a git command (maybe its a SHA, maybe it's just something like "origin/master" or "devel/epxerimental" etc.) and git tells me the ref path of the branch that the passed something lives in, e.g. <git_command> 0dc27819b8e9 => output: refs/heads/master <git_command> xyz/test => output: refs/remote...
Hi, I am trying to use ssh port forwarding to defeat corporate firewall: ssh git@GIT_SERVER -L9418:GIT_SERVER:9418 and in another terminal I run git clone git://localhost:repositories/project.git But I get the following error: Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/aboxer/tmp/glucosia/.git/ fatal: Unable to look up lo...
Here is the man page for git show-ref -d . They also have an example at the bottom. Still I am not able to understand what dereference does? ...
My team uses SVN for source control. Recently, I've been working on a branch with occasional merges from the trunk and it's been a fairly annoying experience (cf. Joel Spolsky's "Subversion Story #1"), so I've been looking alternative ways to manage branches and merging. Given that a centralized SVN repository is non-negotiable, what I'd...
I am looking at the man page for git ls-tree . It has an option for path. I have a directory called db and in that directory I have a few .rb files. Then why my command is failing git ls-tree db/*.rb ...
Background I'm adding some features to a project that uses subversion - I'm using git-svn to clone it to my local repository, git-svn rebase to keep with the recent changes in the official trunk and keep the history linear. Recently I've forgot myself and made a few merges which messed my rebasing - long story short I needed to spend ...
I set up .git in a directory on my local machine. I then run: mkdir a cd a git init git daemon When I attempt to clone the repository in a, I get the following error: mkdir b cd b git clone git://127.0.0.1 Initialized empty Git repository in /b/127.0.0.1/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly How can I clone my repository o...
I actually use a combination of OS X, Linux and Windows, but Windows is the most important. ...
Assume my git repository has the following structure: /.git /Project /Project/SubProject-0 /Project/SubProject-1 /Project/SubProject-2 and the repository has quite some commits. Now one of the subprojects (SubProject-0) grows pretty big, and I want to take SubProject-0 out and set it up as a standalone project. Is it possible to extr...
While working with git-svn, and a 'typical' svn repo /trunk, /branches/..., /tags/... How do I push a local branch to a new branch inside of /branches ? ...
I am reading these two articles. However I still do not get --bare option. If the server has no working directory and if a new member of the team clones the project then that person will not get any content. Any further clarification will help on why --bare is needed. ...
git diff master..lab It will produce the diff between the tips of the two branches. git diff master...lab # notice triple dot It will prouduce the diff starting from the common ancestor of the two branches. I am not able to think of any scenario where the result from double dot would be different from result from triple dot. ...
I was recently using a commercial centrally controlled version control system in a large company with about 100 different subsystems written in different operating systems and languages, and I have noticed that several developers use either git or mercurial on their pet projects, but not for their work systems. I personally am more famil...
Hey. I'd like to check code committed to my remote git repository with PHP CodeSniffer and reject it if there are any problems code standards. Does anyone have an example how to use it on git remote repository or maybe example how to use it with pre-receive hook? Thanks. ...
