No, they shouldn’t be used together. Apple says “You shouldn’t store app folders, libraries, or .tmp files in iCloud Drive.” .git is an app folder. There is a list of filenames excluded by iCloud Drive that git doesn’t avoid. So, for example, if you name a tag “tmp”, that tag won’t be synced. There’s also … Read more
Read e.g. this explanation http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches First let’s clarify some git terminology: fetch: getting contents (or updates) from a remote repo pull: fetch (as above) and merge in one step The original poster did not mention merging, so I might guess in proper git terminology he might even have wanted to ask “git fetch all branches … Read more
Use the BFG Repo-Cleaner, a simpler, faster alternative to git-filter-branch, specifically designed for removing unwanted files from Git history. Carefully follow the usage instructions. The core part is just this: java -jar bfg.jar –strip-blobs-bigger-than 100M my-repo.git Any files over 100 MB in size (that aren’t in your latest commit) will be removed from your Git … Read more
This is not a MySQL-related solution in itself, but we’ve had a lot of success with a product called liquibase. (http://www.liquibase.org/) It’s a migration solution which covers many different database vendors, allowing all database changes to be coded in configuration files, all of which are kept in Subversion. Since all configuration is kept in XML … Read more
The secret is to make sure it’s on the ignore list before you commit the delete. If you do it in that order, the delete won’t propagate to others’ working copies. We’re still using svn 1.4 so the –keep-local option isn’t available. But you can achieve the same thing by deleting it using a server … Read more
Take a look at Boar, “Simple version control and backup for photos, videos and other binary files”. It can easily handle huge files and huge repositories.
I wrote a post-commit hook for just this purpose. The hook itself is simple; just add a file named post-commit to your .git/hooks/ directory with the following contents: git push my_remote The post-commit file should be executable. Also make sure that you add a suitable remote repository with the name my_remote for this this hook … Read more
Depends on the project, but I’ve got the following for a Silverlight + WPF project in my .gitignore: # Visual Studio left-overs *.suo # ‘user’ settings like ‘which file is open in Visual Studio’ *.ncb # Used for debugging *.user *.ccscc # Used for versioning *.cache # Editor left-overs *~ # (x)emacs *.bak # Windows … Read more
Git is agnostic in the sense that it doesn’t matter which files you put under version control. When git can’t recognise the type of a file it just treats it as binary data for versioning purposes; so diff etc. will just state that the files are different by a number of bytes. So to answer … Read more
To directly answer your question, you can include both in your software release. Release notes are a set of documents delivered to customers with the intent to provide a verbose description of the release of a new version of a product or service.
