Best way to work on a Subversion Repository via Git: git svn init -s https://svn.repo/app/ myrepo assuming that under https://svn.repo/app/ the repo contains the standard /trunk, branches and tags subdirectories Do a git svn fetch in myrepo until no more commits are fetched (may take quite some time and sometimes aborts under Windows). Checkout a … Read more
If your branch has an associated remote tracking branch that means its configuration is like: git config branch.[branch-name].remote [remote-name] git config branch.[branch-name].merge [remote-master] The key part of git fetch which explain the difference between the two commands is: <refspec> The format of a <refspec> parameter is an optional plus +, followed by the source ref … Read more
git fetch origin fetch data only from origin, and git fetch –all fetch data from all remotes (origin is one of them)
When you fetch you get the remote branches, but you still need to merge the changes from the remote branch into your local branch to see those changes. After fetching, try this: git log origin/yourbranchname | head git log yourbranchname | head Do you see the difference? Now do: git checkout origin/yourbranchname -b newbranchname git … Read more
It’s a bit weird, but if you use git pull [remote] <refspec> it actually doesn’t update the remote refs. It sort of makes sense if you think about it a certain way: since you’re specifying a specific ref to fetch, it doesn’t have to look up anything about your remote branches, so it doesn’t inherently … Read more
You can undo all fetches from remote A simply by removing this remote: git remote remove A Now just add it again and fetch only single branch: git remote add A <path/to/repository> git fetch A <name of branch>
Update: Using Git Switch All of the information written below was accurate, but a new command, git switch has been added that simplifies the effort. If daves_branch exists on the remote repository, but not on your local branch, you can simply type: git switch daves_branch Since you do not have the branch locally, this will … Read more
git fetch git reset –hard origin/master
As Julian said see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHKB/Git+indexing+fails+due+to+bad+pack+header It really can be a memory issue, and to make sure we don’t lose the solution here it is: git config –global pack.windowMemory “100m” git config –global pack.SizeLimit “100m” git config –global pack.threads “1”
