Yes, your solution will work. You also have another option: instead of doing this on the central repo, run the filter on your clone and then push it back with git push –force –all. This will force the server to accept the new branches from your repository. This replaces step 2 only; the other steps … Read more
Set up a .mailmap file in your repo. See git help shortlog for details, or check out the one for Git itself. See Mapping authors section: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-shortlog#_mapping_authors
You aren’t on a git repository directory. Yype pwd and make sure it’s where you think you should be. Chances are you are in ~/ or something just before the directory you think you are in. Or maybe you are in C:/ drive instead of the one you are. To change your directory from drive … Read more
git fetch upstream master:master: this work only when you are not on master. If you are on master, a simple git fetch upstream is enough. Then you can link your local master to the remote tracking branch upstream/master (which has just been fetched) git branch -u upstream/master master Then you can use git pull to … Read more
My guess at this point (I’m still waiting for git branch -vv or git rev-parse –symbolic-full-name “@{u}” results) is that you do not have origin/MyTestBranch set as the upstream for MyTestBranch. To set a branch as the upstream for the current branch, use: git branch –set-upstream-to upstream1 which in this case expands to: git branch … Read more
I accept @Lekensteyn answer. If you want to trace git remote commands,add following environmental variables into your terminal.This helps you to peek into what is running behind the scenes of a git command. export GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 export GIT_TRACE=1 export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 Reference:https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Environment-Variables Sample Cloning Result after export
The idea is you use one common branch, and two (or as many as you need) customer specific branches. All common changes go into the master, and each customer branch gets changes that pertain only to that customer. Periodically (when master is considered to be at a stable point), you’ll merge changes from master into … Read more
Submodules (discussed in the Pro Git Book), helps manage repositories nested within a main repository: Submodules allow foreign repositories to be embedded within a dedicated subdirectory of the source tree, always pointed at a particular commit. They are not to be confused with remotes, which are meant mainly for branches of the same project; submodules … Read more
To check what line endings were actually committed in the repository (regardless of your core.autocrlf setting), try the following: git grep -I –files-with-matches –perl-regexp ‘\r’ HEAD (-I means that binary files should not be looked at.)
To integrate one branch into another, you have to either merge or rebase. Since it’s only safe to rebase commits that aren’t referenced anywhere else (not merged to other local branches; not pushed to any remote), it’s generally better to merge. If your feature branch is purely local, you can rebase it on top of … Read more
