You can do this, if the remote repository accepts forced pushes: git push –force origin clean_start:master Note that if anyone else has the repository cloned, a push from them could potentially undo this. If you want to merge your local master branch and the remote master branch, but keep the file tree from your branch … Read more
Use an HTTPS or SSH URL. Instead of git://github.com/user/repo.git use one of these: https://github.com/user/repo.git [email protected]:user/repo.git You can change it in your clone like this: git remote set-url origin <THE-URL-HERE>
The canonical way to do that in Emacs is to use VC: C-x v ~ from the file’s buffer will ask you for a revision and then show that file as it was at that revision. It should work for any control system supported by VC, such as Git, Bzr, …
I just ran into the same situation, it turned out that my filesystem was full.
git branch <new-branch-name> <existing-branch-name>
First, you should always make your PR form a branch, not from master. master is for mirroring upstream/master, with ‘upstream‘ being the name of the original repository that you forked. In your case, make sure that: make sure that upstream exists (git remote -v), make a branch in order to reference your current patches, and … Read more
git log –merges -n 1 works well. From man git-log: –merges Print only merge commits. This is exactly the same as –min-parents=2. Here’s an example using –pretty=format:”%H” to get just the SHA. $ git log –pretty=format:”%H” –merges -n 1 f32e1f13eef7d5843e8063b8709d01af6dcd5dbf Credit goes to Jefromi for their comment on another answer.
[Edit, April 2017] If you made your original clone with –single-branch, your remote.origin.fetch setting will be the problem. If you used a –depth limit, that too implies –single-branch. Restore the normal remote.origin.fetch value described below and you will get a fuller clone. Normally, just running git fetch should restore your remote-tracking branches. If git fetch … Read more
Submodules, by definition, always reference particular SHA1 in the subproject. That SHA1 isn’t expressed in the .gitmodules file, but is instead expressed as the entry in the tree object that contains the submodule. The way you set this in git is by cding into the submodule, checking out the SHA1 you want, then cding back … Read more
You can very easily automate this using Bash scripting. git add . echo ‘Enter the commit message:’ read commitMessage git commit -m “$commitMessage” echo ‘Enter the name of the branch:’ read branch git push origin $branch read store the above code as a .sh file(say gitpush.sh) And since you have to make this sh file … Read more
