Forget the Github project releases feature, that won’t work as a true update site (see notes at the end). To achieve what you want, you can create a Github repo, commit/push your p2 repository there and then serve it as an update site, using raw links. So for example, for the repository: https://github.com/some-user/some-repository/ you can … Read more
I’d say that with published work, you should just always use annotated tags. That extra information is never going to harm you. Lightweight tags strike me as being more for when you’re being lazy. Maybe a temporary tag (just make sure you don’t accidentally push it; really you could just use a branch), or maybe … Read more
The simplest solution would be to have private branch in your ‘private’ repository, i.e. branch which is simply not pushed to public repository. For that you would probably need to either specify all branches you want to push to public repository in config (instead of using globbing mirroring refspec +refs/*:refs/*), or push carefully branches you … Read more
No, they will not be gc’s because they’re not wholly unreferenced even if you delete your branch. Github creates a branch (actually, two) for every pull request. They’re in a non-default namespace so you dont usually get them when you pull (or fetch) from the repo. To see how this looks in practice, do a … Read more
I’ve managed to work around this by: Locate the last commit that retained the order Run git rebase -i <hash of that commit> Replace all pick with reword Run git push -f Before that, I tried changing only the first commit message, which also changes all the following hashes, but that didn’t fix it. I … Read more
Next to the “Merge pull request” button, there should be a “Use the command line” link to instructions on how to do it manually. You should follow these instructions (create new local branch and pull in their changes), but then instead of merging that whole branch back into master, you just cherry-pick the commits you … Read more
No: Including a submodule in a public repository means recording its URL in a public .gitmodules file. The repository at that URL will not be any more accessible through a recursive clone of your repository than it is on its own. That is why, for instance, using submodules with GitHub Pages is not possible: You … Read more
In my case, on windows, It was not working after setting of name, e mail as well as certificates path for git config. following command run from command prompt fixed this issue. git config –global http.sslcainfo “C:\Program Files\Git\usr\ssl\certs\ca-bundle.crt” path of your ca-bundle.crt may vary in your case.
