I am new to Git and trying to use it for a local grails project. The steps I followed. 1. create the grails project 2. go to the project directory and git init 3. Add all the files in the project in staging area and commit. 4. The git status at the repo gives the below message BXX@BXX-PC /c/Work/Grails/projects/yyy/tables (master) $ g...
In this post, I found out that it was possible to create individual mappings for branch names so that pushing back to a central repository can be permanently mapped to a subtree, like: git master branch name: foo remote branch name: foo git push origin foo on slave1 does the equivalent of git push origin foo:refs/slave1/foo But the p...
I'm trying to set up hudson with git according to this article, but I still get git errors during build: FATAL: Could not apply tag-PROJECTNAME-ID ... Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command returned status code 128: *** Please tell me who you are. running: git config --global user.name shows valid data, .gitconfig is ac...
I've been using SVN for my projects and had visualSVN for VS integration. however the Git work flow is different from traditional source control systems (Checkout/edit/stage/commit as oppose to Checkout/edit/commit). I was wondering if there is a good VS addon to support that. Also any good advice on using git on a windows dev machine is...
I am in the midst of doing some non-standard, probably doomed, experiments on a git repository. The goal is to create a remote repository with a truncated history which can still share commits with an internal repository which has a full history. I've had some success using a graft to connect the public history with the private history ...
So, I'm thinking of having the following centralized setup with Git (each of these are clones): stable development developer1 developer2 developer3 So, I created my stable repository git --bare init made the 'development' clone git clone ssh://host.name//path/to/stable/project.git development and made a 'developer'...
I have a branch. Half way through I noticed git was not tracking a file that it should have been and so I added it as part of a commit and continued with my work. Now, I'm doing a git bisect and all commits before the file was added do not build. So I'm thinking, I need to split the commit that added the file into two parts: the file add...
Hey guys, In Git I can do this: 1. Start working on new feature: $ git co -b newfeature-123 # (a local feature development branch) do a few commits (M, N, O) master A---B---C \ newfeature-123 M---N---O 2. Pull new changes from upstream master: $ git pull (master updated with ff-commits) master A---B---C---D---E--...
I'm a Git user trying to use Mercurial. Here's what happened: I did a hg backout on a changeset I wanted to revert. That created a new head, so hg instructed me to merge (back to "default", I assume). After the merge, it told me I still had to commit. Then I noticed something I did wrong when resolving a conflict in the merge, and decid...
Is there some program out there (or some magical git plugin I've missed) to get an impact graph or something similar from a git repo without going through github? I'm unsure where I'd begin exactly to write my own, as far as data collection goes (I can generate graphs). I assume there's some flags I could pass to git-log to get commits a...
Hi all, I'm working with a git repository that's storing data for a website. It contains a .htaccess file, with some values that are suitable for the production server. In order for me to work on the site, I have to change some values in the file, but I never want to commit these changes or I will break the server. Since .gitignore d...
git status shows file as modified, however when commiting it shows the file as been copied ie: git status modified: foo/bar/baz.xml git commit copied: bar/foo/baz.xml -> foo/bar/baz.xml Why is it showing this file as copied if it was not. The two files were identical before the change. ...
Why on all images that shows queue of commits in pro git book arrows leads to the opposite direction? ...
Does anyone here using Git for version control have any experience (good or bad) relating to how well different releases of Git work together? To cut a short story long: I am considering Git for some planned home projects, but due to my hodge-podge range of setups using default pacakges from repositories will mean being a full point re...
I started cloning a SVN repository using git-svn's clone operation. After about 6 hours of importing (it's a bit repo), my computer went and slept on me. Is there a way to resume the operation without redoing all of the initial work? ...
Could someone help explain what is going on in this precommit hook? I thought changing files would cause them to be restaged. http://snipplr.com/view/28523/git-precommit-hook-to-fix-trailing-whitespace/ ...
To release my centralized webapp, I COULD have a vhost pointed to some directory and then just do a 'git pull' when I want to release, updating the files. But Rails has a different deployment mechanism: it copies files to a subdirectory and then points a symlink ('current') to that new subdirectory. I understand that it probably more ac...
I'm trying to set up a darcs mirror of a git repository. I have something that works OK, but there's a significant problem: if I push a whole bunch of commits to the git repo, those commits get merged into a single darcs patchset. I really want to make sure each git commit gets set up as a single darcs patchset. I bet this is possible...
I want to associate custom metadata with a git commit. Specifically to record a review ID from a code review but it could be anything. Tags seem a natural way to do that but I expect to have a review for every commit and I don't want to clutter gitk with tons of tags. Is there some other mechanism to add custom metadata? Can I make c...
Hi all, The Maven Buildnumber plugin doesn't appear to work with GIT yet. Is there a workaround for the time being? I recently switched from SVN to GIT and have found it to be an easy transition, but this is the only thing that I don't have working presently. Walter ...
