Your content is safe. As I understand it, git doesn’t actually have any concept of a first-class rename operation (only bzr does, of the big 3 DVCSs): the mv is sugar on top of the underlying machinery, which is basically an add and a rm. Since git can track the content that changes during such … Read more
You could use git alias or bash alias if you are using shell-available OS. git alias : Run this command to add alias: git config –global alias.dfw ‘diff –ignore-space-change’ –ignore-space-change can be abbreviated to -w to apply the alias using: git dfw bash alias : Run this command to add bash alias: echo “alias gitdfw=’git … Read more
git config user.email “bob@example.com” Doing that one inside a repo will set the configuration on THAT repo, and not globally. Seems like that’s pretty much what you’re after, unless I’m misreading you.

Just today I encountered this problem and immediately wrote an article in my blog about it after finding a solution: How to ignore changes in git submodules The gist of it: Once you added a submodule there … Read more
Just use –local instead of –global. In fact, local is the default so you can just do git config user.email personal@example.org git config user.name “whatf hobbyist” in one repo, and git config user.email work@example.com git config user.name “whatf at work” in another repo The values will then be stored in in the .git/config for that … Read more
