A Git SHA ID looks like this one 351e11dac558a764ba83f89c6598151d2dbaf904, it is a long hex number. But how should it be detected in a text? Search for "words" which only contain 0-9,a-f and have a length of at least 20 characters? But how to distinguish SHA IDs from normal words? ...
I've accidentally put some whitespace in my initial commit - it shows up red in git diff --color. What's the best way to get rid of the existing whitespace and how can I avoid this happening again? I am not necessarily looking for a built-in git command. Any external program available for free on Ubuntu would also be welcome. ...
How is it possible that when trying to squash/fixup a linear branch I still have to do manual merges? The repo has been converted from Subversion. Every conflict is either "Automatic cherry-pick failed" or "Aborting commit due to empty commit message". The latter I could understand, but a --fixup-empty or something would be useful. Typi...
Hey Guys, I'm trying to add a new library to the android platform, but when I run the "repo status" command, the folder in which my library is located does not show up as added. If for example my library is called foo, I created a folder /external/foo and placed my library code in it. This foo folder is not seen by the "repo status" c...
Hello, I'm experimenting with Git... I've found Beanstalkapp suits my needs. I've created individual repositories for EACH client on Beanstalk and then pushed all the files from a machine at work. I've created repositories for each client and my Beanstalk account now looks like this: Client One (repository)<br> --a load of files and f...
I am running into a problem when running the follow python script on the server looking for commit information for the push making sure it follows a particular syntax, I am unable to get input from the user which is why the username and password are hard coded.

I upgraded git on my mac to 1.7.2. I can no longer get git svn clone or git svn fetch to succeed. With GIT_TRACE=2, the last words on the subject are: trace: built-in: git 'config' 'svn-remote.svn.branches-maxRev' '12912' trace: built-in: git 'config' 'svn-remote.svn.tags-maxRev' '12912' trace: built-in: git 'config' 'svn-remote.svn.b...
I half realize that this question is probably asked already, but I'm not familiar with the jargon and I need a really easy to follow answer perhaps a little too specific to my particular needs. I forgot to remove the object files and then performed a git add -A. I then scanned a few man pages and used some kind of interactive mode and a...
I signed up with github today and I'm struggling to understand exactly what way I should be using this. I have downloaded the git program and I followed the instructions to create a folder which now resides in "c/user/app data/local/program/git" however there is no explanation of what to do next. Should I be developing and saving the fi...
Hi, on Git, say I mess up my commits, and I want to make the version 3 commits ago as the new version. If I do "git checkout xxxx", it creates a new branch and it seems like I can only merge it? Could I make this the new "master version"? I want: A-B-C-D-E to become A-B-C-D-E-F where F has exactly the same content as C If I use "...
I've a hosted GIT repository with limited disk space available but connected with a RedMine system. I'm packaging some software and pushing and pulling on the repository, I'm run out of space. Now I need to clean (the packages are note needed anymore). How can I delete these packages from the remote repository history, considering that I...

I'm still new to git and github... well, I forked a plugin on github and made a few changes a while back. The owner added some of my changes, but github didn't show that my changes were merged. Since that time, a few other users have forked and updated the plugin. Today I downloaded the latest forked version (not yet merged into the mas...
Hi all, I have been working trying to install via CPAN and GIT SD ( http://syncwith.us/sd/ ) on an Intel MBP on OSX. So far it has been a unsuccessful process. My question is has anyone else installed SD under OSX and if so if you have any links to guidance that would be really helpful, so far JFGI has not worked for me. Alternatively...

I need to ignore the following. In paths like /a/b/c/d/e/f/g, I need to ignore /d/e/f/g. I also need to be able to ignore every place /d/e/f/g appears beneath a. I tried d/e/f/g, but that did not work. Thoughts? ...
I'm using git behind svn, and for each branch I have, I need to do a full build (which takes a few minutes). These build files should NOT be checked in, but they are intermingled with user-modified files, which means I cannot just exclude the directory. The user-modified files are likely to change, also, which means I can't make special ...
Possible Duplicate: Temporarily put away uncommited changes in Subversion (a la git-stash) Is there an equivalent to git stash in svn? I am working on a project that uses svn, with which I am less familiar. Thanks! ...
Seems like in SVN, when you do a merge, there won't be a revision checked in by you. All your "commits" should only have code that is changed by you. But in Mercurial, that's not the case. Your "merge" commits are committed by you, but they usually contain changes that are made by other people. And if that commit triggered an error i...
Perhaps I'm missing something about using gi through svn, but how do I keep around a set of locally modified files without pushing those changes to subversion. Here's my broken workflow.
