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...
I'm using perlbrew and I would like to install the latest bioperl version. Should I use cpanm or git? If git - do I just install as usual (AKA git clone ... then make and build), or should I do anything special? UPDATE Specifically, I'm not sure I understand the following expert from BioPerl Using Git manual: Tell perl where to fi...
I've been trying to move away from submodules in order to get a self-contained repository, and the subtree merge strategy seems to match this use-case. However the merged repos' histories appear in my own project's history, which is reather annoying. I've tried git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter path/to/subtree/ HEAD which works.....
Hi, I have local machine (A), testing server (B) and repository server (C). I have following workflow: Code something on A Mirror changes to test machine B If it works well commit from B to C For now, I use rsync for mirroring, but since repository grows it takes some time (~10 sec) to get file list from B. I want to use Git instea...
What is the difference between doing: git push -f origin my-branch:my-branch and git push origin +my-branch:my-branch ? ...
After a merge failed with some conflicts I can list those with git diff, but git difftool won't display them with the difftool set in the config(in my case Kaleidoscope), instead it will just use normal diff. A git difftool comparing with a previous commit will work. Is there a way to use git difftool on merge conflicts? Greets Jan ...
As far as I know, Git's blob has SHA1 hash as file name. in order not to duplicate the file in the repository. For example, if file A has a content of "abc" and has SHA1 hash as "12345", as long as the content doesn't change, the commits/branches can point to the same SHA1. But, what would happen if file A is modified to "def" to have...
I'm learning Git coming from Perforce. As far as I can tell you must write the commit message in the same step as when you commit. Or am I missing how I might write the message earlier and have it hang around until I'm ready to commit. I really liked the workflow in perforce where you can edit the changelist description at any time, a...
I have a repo in dir ~/myRepo/. Because I want to use this repo across multiple machines, I want to have the .git folder in my dir ~/Dropbox/. I know, that there was some ability to create a file in ~/myRepo, which contains a path to the git-folder ~/Dropbox/myRepo.git, but I forgot which and cannot find the information in the man-pages...
I have a master branch and would like to create a new branch based on it, and then switch to the new branch. I'm very very new to coda/github/terminal so I don't even know if my syntax is correct. here's what I typed in, letter for letter, with the exception of the branch names which are placeholders: git checkout -b $newbranchname ...
Edited: (after seeing Luke's answer) I'm looking to develop a website and all the work will be done remotely (no local dev server). The reason for this is that my shared hosting company a2hosting has a specific configuration (symfony,mysql,git) that I don't want to spend time duplicating when I can just ssh and develop remotely or throu...
How to configure the git user.name to enable Hudson send out email to the user who commit code? I just follow the standard way to configure the git user.name with "User Name (userid)", see below. git config --global user.name "Euler XXXX (euler)" git config --global user.email "[email protected]" Then I commit the code t...
We are having a local repository which is accessible to a large number of people. We have to set up a Git repository there such that only certain users have checkout as well as commit privileges. How can we do that. P.S. : This is a part of our homework assignment in which we have to develop a game and update it using a Git repository. ...
I tried Egit but there seems to be missing an option for specifying a custom upload-pack binary. Are there any patches or Gui alternatives for this to work ? ...
I'm aware of the reason that git push --tags is a separate operation to plain old git push. Pushing tags should be a conscious choice since you don't want accidentally push one. That's fine. But is there a way to push both together? (Aside from git push && git push --tags.) ...
Background: I'm aiming to deploy a rails app and am hosting a remote repository for this app on DreamHost. I am using Git for version control. I have created a local repository, committed and pushed this to the remote repository via ssh. This is roughly the process I took in creating the remote repository. I seem to have created the remo...
Hi, I want to port a simple game someone else has written in Java to GWT. He organized it mainly into two packages: One for the user interface and one for the game logic. Hopefully, I can reuse his game logic and just rewrite the user interface, but I might need to change some things in order to make it compile with GWT. I'm wondering ...

I created a new Branch before I started dev on something experimental. I usually forget that (which isn't a problem), but now I did it beforehand. Since then I have updated 3 files. In 2 are only experimental changes that I DON'T want committed to the safe branch. In 1 are only safe (minor) changes that I definitely DO want committed...
How can I clone a git repo from my laptop (at home) to a server (at university) while getting most of the repo from a third (svn) repo at another uni that is the main codebase. I'd like to minimise the amount of home<->uni traffic by maximising uniOne<->uniTwo traffic. this is what I have now on Laptop: --o--o--o---o---o---o git-s...
