I am trying out GIT, and using the GIT GUI (from msysgit) with it. I am trying to make a new branch, but somehow it keeps taking over the master branch. The master branch still appears, but not as the actual master. As a result, I also can't merge my new branch into the master, but it requests me to do the opposite (master into new bran...

I have managed to get my index in state where some files aren't tracked as expected. As an example I have size.h and test.h unmodified in the working directory: $ git-ls-files -st size.h test.h H 100644 de2c741b07d86f92bdd660626848072cb2bf510f 0 size.h H 100644 8bb24bc7483ffcfc0fc1a3761dc63e86a1b3e003 0 test.h $ git status # On...

I'm encountering a weird issue with .gitignore on Windows. I want git to ignore all .exe files, except those in the Dependencies folder (and all subfolders). So I have: .gitignore: *.exe !/Dependencies/**/*.exe This, unfortunately, does not work. Meanwhile, this does: *.exe !/Dependencies/folder/subfolder/*.exe So I'm won...

This enabled the colors from a standard cmd.exe prompt but not in console2. I've verified that console2 can see the env var as well. Anyone know how to get this working? ...
This isn't the best programming question but lets face it, the server fault guys aren't well versed in git, so I think its more towards this audience. Do I have to write a script to uninstall them? How do I get them to go away, I want to switch to tortoise git, or portablegit in my shell, but I'm left with these annoying menu options. ...
Hi everyone, I use git for my local work (and love it ever so much), and I follow a workflow similar to the one described in this article. So basically, when starting on a new feature, I create a branch for it, go through the usual hack then commit cycle, and when I think I'm done with it, I squash it into a single commit using git reba...

I want to force git to checkout files under Windows using just LF not CR+LF. I checked the two configuration options but I was not able to find the right combination of settings. I want it to convert all files to LF and keep the LF on the files. Remark: I used autocrlf = input but this just repairs the files when you commit them. I wan...
Hello. I'm confused. I've installed copSSH and linked it with msysgit installation (by adding path to it). And now whenever I use copSSH tools (like ls, cd) I should use the absolute paths in form like '/home', /cygdrive/d/copSSH/home. But when I used git I should use absolute paths in a different (another) form. like '/copSSH/home', ...
I know this question is probably stoopid. But I just don't want to cause any hickups with my work system (Win7). How do I upgrade the software? Do I just replace the existing version or do I need to remove the one I'm having and then install the new version? I tried to find some info on the net but did not find any info on upgrading. ...
I need help getting git extensions to run with msysgit. I have had bad luck with extensions git-tfs and git-fetchall, in both cases it is the same problem. The addon will require a file to be placed where git can find it (git-tfs.exe and git-fetchall.sh). I understand this to mean the files need to be in a directory that is in the 'PA...
