This is possibly unrelated directly to the question; but one mistake I just made myself, and I see in the OP, is the URL specification ssh://user@server:/GitRepos/myproject.git – namely, you have both a colon :, and a forward slash / after it signifying an absolute path. I then found Git clone, ssh: Could not resolve hostname … Read more
You’ve already discovered the simplest way to specify a shallow clone in Git-SVN, by specifying the SVN revision number that you want to start your clone at ( -r$REV:HEAD). For example: git svn clone -s -r1450:HEAD some/svn/repo Git’s data structure is based on pointers in a directed acyclic graph (DAG), which makes it trivial to … Read more
This worked for me: git clone https://username@github.com/username/repo_name
git clone –depth 1 –branch <tag_name> <repo_url> –depth 1 is optional but if you only need the state at that one revision, you probably want to skip downloading all the history up to that revision.
$ git clone $URL $ cd $PROJECT_NAME $ git reset –hard $SHA1 To again go back to the most recent commit $ git pull To save online (remote) the reverted commit, you must to push enforcing origin: git push origin -f
Git This answer includes GitHub as many folks have asked about that too. Local repositories Git (locally) has a directory (.git) which you commit your files to and this is your ‘local repository’. This is different from systems like SVN where you add and commit to the remote repository immediately. Git stores each version of … Read more
simply put a dot next to it git clone git@github.com:user/my-project.git . From git help clone: Cloning into an existing directory is only allowed if the directory is empty. So make sure the directory is empty (check with ls -a), otherwise the command will fail.
The difference is that when using –mirror, all refs are copied as-is. This means everything: remote-tracking branches, notes, refs/originals/* (backups from filter-branch). The cloned repo has it all. It’s also set up so that a remote update will re-fetch everything from the origin (overwriting the copied refs). The idea is really to mirror the repository, … Read more
In short: replace the contents of repo with the contents of repo/.git, then tell the repository that it is now a bare repository. To do this, execute the following commands: cd repo mv .git ../repo.git # renaming just for clarity cd .. rm -fr repo cd repo.git git config –bool core.bare true Note that this … Read more
Fork, in the GitHub context, doesn’t extend Git. It only allows clone on the server side. When you clone a GitHub repository on your local workstation, you cannot contribute back to the upstream repository unless you are explicitly declared as “contributor”. That’s because your clone is a separate instance of that project. If you want … Read more
