I'm trying to figure out how to use the Drupal mirror on Git hub. I'm new to git but have worked out the following: Set up a git Drupal repo * git init * git remote add drupal git://github.com/drupal/drupal.git * git fetch drupal * git tag * git merge <tag_name> Make a branch for my site * git branch <my_site> * git checkout <my_si...
On github, after I fork a project, modify it, then submit my pull request, it seems that I have to delete and re-fork in order to stay current with any changes made after my pull request is honored. It seems tedious to have to keep deleting the repo to keep it current. Is there some way to keep it current without deleting and re-forking...
What do you do with GitHub repositories you no longer maintain? For whatever reason a project is started with a GitHub repository and then sometime later it's abandoned Perhaps it was an experiment that didn't work out. Perhaps you replaced it with a commercial product. Or perhaps you found a similar project to what you were doing an...
I'm pretty new to Git, and like it a lot so far, but am not sure what do do here. I've forked a github project, and am currently in the process of porting it to another language. For reference, I've created a branch of the code as it was when I made the fork. My problem now is that the original project has been updated, and I can't figu...
Hi I had posted this question on superuser but didn't get a helpful response. Thought I'd try here since the question does deal with some configurations and settings for using github. I have a central server with SSO installed. All my machines are connected through the lan to this server. I have also setup a remote git repository on th...
I am involved in this project, Pinta, and we are currently using GitHub for our development. We all love Git and GitHub and want to keep using it. However, now the project is getting stable and involved, and it's time we started using a more capable bug tracking system than GitHub's simple issue tracker. We also want to start doing GetTe...
How do I track upstream SVN changes using git-svn and github? I used git-svn to convert an SVN repo to git on github: $ git svn clone -s http://svn.osqa.net/svnroot/osqa/ osqa $ cd osqa $ git remote add origin [email protected]:turian/osqa.git $ git push origin master I then made a few changes in my git repo, committed, and pushed to g...
I am using github to develop an eclipse plugin. I would like to have a public eclipse update site for my plugin and wondered if I can use github for this? I know that github can be used for hosting individual files by using the "raw" links provided on the file information pages. ...
Hi All, Has anybody installed git and ControlControl and got CruiseControl to pull from GitHub on a window 2003 server. I keep getting 'public key errors (access denied)' - Which is good i suppose as that confirms git is talking to GitHub. However what is not good is that I don't not know where to install the rsa keys so they will be p...
ok.. this might seem like a strange question but my idea of Github and that of my boss is very different. From what I can tell its a version control tool. My boss seems to think that it will connect to the server where we're hosting our webapp and when changes are committed on github that these get applied to the server to... If this i...

In my gemfile I have this: gem "authlogic", :git => "git://github.com/odorcicd/authlogic.git", :branch => "rails3" How do I install that as a gem so I can test it? ...
How do I get the Root :tree_sha of a GitHub repository via the GitHub API? The GitHib API help pages don't seem to explain this critical piece of information: http://develop.github.com/p/object.html Can get the contents of a tree by tree SHA tree/show/:user/:repo/:tree_sha To get a listing of the root tree for the fac...
When I browse github I have a hard time differentiating high quality code from half-finished crap without taking a serious look at the code. What are some good ways to quickly size up a project? Rubyforge allows people to designate a "Development Status". SourceForge has a "recommend" feature. Is there some feature that I've overlooke...
So I am not much of a source control expert, I've used SVN for projects in the past. I have to use Git for a particular project (client supplied Git repo). My workflow is as such that I will be working on the files from two different computers, and often I need to check in changes that are unstable when I move from place to place so I c...
You can determine with git merge-base if a fast forward is possible, but is there some git trick to determine if two branches will merge cleanly with some strategy without actually doing the merge? I know about "git merge --no-commit --no-ff $BRANCH" but that affects the working directory, which I'd like to avoid since this is part of a...
I'm trying to configure GIT on my Windows XP machine, but SSH keeps creating and looking for the public/private key pair in non-sensical places, e.g. /.ssh/id_rsa Is there a configuration file in the GIT Installation for Windows where I can switch this to my home directory, or another user defined place? By default, it offers to create ...
I'm really new to the whole GitHub thing so this might seem like a basic question but I can't figure it out. I have a GitHub repository set up on my machine, I've managed at some point to push the master but now I have made some changes and I want to push the entire thing again (pretty much everything changed). What I'm wondering is: ...
I've been cloning a few repos from github that, even though I know they have branches/tags, do not have them once I clone them onto my local drive. strange. I try to list the tags (git tag) but nothing comes up... I would look into .git/refs/tags/ and that too is empty. the repos in question are: http://github.com/jchris/hovercraft.gi...
