This question occurred to me whilst playing around with git, but I'll ask the general case... I just thought of a feature which might be nice for version control, but I don't know if it exists or what it is called. I want to call it persistent local changes.

I'm currently using a github repository with a single branch, based of a master branch of another repository. The github branch is a backup of my work, and definitely not meant for pulling, and as such I'm comfortable with rewriting its history when rebasing from the master repository. My problem is that I want a clean history, and if h...

I've been using Kubuntu and Windows 7 on my laptop for some time. Recently I also started using git to keep track of a project I'm working on. At first I thought I'd use the same git repo for editing from both Kubuntu and Win, but I soon discovered that committing changes on Win would make git on Kubuntu think all the files have changed ...
I have a git clone/repo on a development server, but I am now moving to another one. I don't want to commit all my local branches and changes to the main repository, so how can I make an exact copy of everything on oldserver to newserver?

Capistrano and Git worked properly till I moved my site to another server. My first attempt to deploy went wrong because of an SSH-known-hosts related problem.

I just recently noticed this behaviour. To put it shortly, it displays the commits with an END on a white background, and gets stuck. Upon pressing "q" it asks if I wish to terminate the batch job ? Is anyone else experiencing this ? Is this a known bug, or ... ? ...
Our team uses a purely merge-based git workflow, and we're discussing the possibility of just asking all team members to push all work to server one afternoon and do an evening of rebasing the server repo. The stuff we'd really like to rebase looks like this: or or . I (think) what I would like to do automatically is that as long as...
