I'm writing a pre-commit hook, and would like to do a check on the entire contents of each file that's about to be committed (specifically a lint check on the files). I want to lint check the file as it's going to be commited, not as it exists in my working tree (which may differ). The pre-commit hook example that comes with git shows ...
My git repo contains sensitive passwords which, for reasons out of my control, can't be removed right now. Right now it's all OK because this repo is internal-only, but I've been asked to create a branch that's safe to share with partners. Is there any way to create a branch in git and then remove files from it in a way where they can'...
Background: I've inherited some MATLAB code to analyze data for my Ph.D. research. To help me better understand the code, I've pared the code down to the minimum subset of files required to run the code for a sample test case. Question: I would like to commit this code to a version control system as two branches, a master branch contai...
I have just created a GIT on a folder. I now want to add the contents of that folder by "staging" all the files. In the GUI, is there a way to select all the files. I have well over 4000 files and clicking one at a time is proving to be a bit of a pain. ...
This may be a question about convention, best practices and/or personal preferences: So I'm a git noob, and my website code is not worth sharing, so I'm not using github or the like. Knowing that git doesn't need a central repository I thought : great, my workstation and the server are the two nodes, and I'll just push changes from my...
I'm using git to manage a tiny project. I've been performing all of my transactions (clone, push, pull, etc) through SSH, but recently ran git-update-server-info because I wanted to experiment with running git-clone over http. It worked great. Cool. Now I realize though that anyone can clone my repository over http without any creden...
Hi, I made 3 'git commit' but I have not done a 'git push'. 1. commit 1 2. commit 2 touches fileA touches fileB touches fileC 3. commit 3 So How can I roll back changes I made in file b for commit 2? (I can't do a 'git checkout -- fileB' anymore since I already 'git commit', how can i roll back my changes? make changes in...
How can you put uncommitted changes to a branch TEST when I am at the branch master? ...
Using the MSYSGIT history browser, I checked-out a particular commit. This was a mistake - I was trying to view the files and thought I had to check them out to see them. Since then, I have been unable to push any more commits to my remote repo (on GITHub). Which I somewhat understand, though not entirely. [I admit to not fully underst...
I would like to put a placeholder into e.g. the footer.html and have it automatically replaced by the version tag set by git tag xy right after a git pull. ... something like a post pull procedure. Is there any quick way you can do this with git? ...
Usually I work on the master branch, and I make some commits, and push it. Then I also need to push these commits to other branch. So usually, I will do: $ git checkout another-branch $ git cherry-pick commit1 $ git cherry-pick commit2 ... $ git cherry-pick commitn $ git push Some kind of stupid, is there anyway I can merge some com...
I'm trying to import a large subversion repository into git using git-svn (so that I can work in git but still dcommit to subversion from time to time). After importing more than 4000 revisions I'm now getting the following error whenever I run git svn fetch or git svn rebase, which I don't manage to get rid of: $ git svn fetch error: i...
Hi, I have to generate a list of changes in a git repository over a priod of time. For this, I have noted the commit ID and compare it with the recent HEAD to generate the list of changes in a git repository. For e.g: $ git diff --name-status OLD_COMMIT..HEAD This gives a list of modifications in a git repository. But, recently I no...
I am looking for similar commands in Postgres as in Git. The reason is that my debugging is slow in Postges, due to my inability to clone and do things like in Git. How can I clone a db, like a branch? How can I create a new "branch"? Is there some Git mode for Postgres? How do you deal with errors in Postgres? Do you clone the db, o...
I am looking for some advise with git and push/pull and trying to get my head around the correct flow. I have a Master branch hosted on codebasehg. So locally I am working and commiting and pushing. From the staging and production servers I just want to pull as I will never be working from these machines. Does this mean when I do a pu...
I have a fork of a project on github where the main trunk was recently tagged. I want to pull the code from the tagged revision into my fork. How would I do that? ...
I'm developing a Linux kernel module outside of the Linux source tree (in the standard way) and am trying to automatically include the git commit hash of the driver into the version string printed out during the module load. The Makefile computes the git hash using the command DRV_TAG := $(shell git log -1 --pretty=format:"%h") but ...
I am trying to apply changes I stashed earlier with git stash pop and get the message: Cannot apply to a dirty working tree, please stage your changes Any suggestion on how to deal with that? ...
I am trying to add a post-commit hook to a bare repository, such that whenever a commit is made the changed files are automatically installed in a (hardcoded) directory. Is there a way to fetch a single file from the repository? git-clone does not appear to allow for specifying a path, and any other commands that I found (git-fetch, gi...
A commit isn't necessarily in a branch, so how do you see and manage these commits? Also, is it possible to look at these commits from gitk? Thanks a lot! PS: just to make things clearer, here is an example: git init git commit touch toto git add toto git commit -a echo $RANDOM > toto git commit -a git checkout f798e54 #checkout initi...
