Fetched to wrong branch in GIT

0 votes
278 views

I have a local repository and a remote at GitHub. My local repo had a master branch and the remote had only a gh-pages branch.

I wanted to pull from my gh-pages remote branch (with "git pull origin gh-pages"). I was about to commit on the master branch and I realized I had no local gh-pages branch. So I put a blank message, to avoid commiting to the master branch.

I unstaged the changes with "git reset HEAD", but how can I remove the already fetched files. I mean, is there something I have to do after unstaging the fetched files?

Many thanks for your help,

git grep seems to use the wrong .gitattributes when invoked in a subdirectory

I bumped into a problem where git grep thinks files in repo/a/data are binary files when it is invoked from repo/a and repo/data/.gitattributes contains "* binary".

I can reproduce this on 1.7.9.5 and 1.7.10.4. Unfortunately I don't have a newer version at hand.

How to reproduce:

[pseudo:~/tmp]% git --version
git version 1.7.10.4
[pseudo:~/tmp]% git init git-test
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/opqdonut/tmp/git-test/.git/
[pseudo:~/tmp]% cd git-test
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% mkdir -p a/data
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% mkdir data
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% echo '* binary' > data/.gitattributes
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% echo foo > a/data/foo
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% git add -A
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% git commit -m "foo"
[master (root-commit) 20fafbb] foo
 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 a/data/foo
 create mode 100644 data/.gitattributes
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% git grep foo
a/data/foo:foo
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% cd a
[pseudo:~/tmp/git-test/a:master()]% git grep foo
Binary file data/foo matches

How to apply commits from one branch to another branch (tree structure is different) in GIT?

I have two branch in one repository that I need to maintain for 2 different deliveries.
Say branch1 and branch2 in test.git repo.

test.git
- branch1
foo_v1/text.txt
foo_v2/text.txt
- branch2
foo/text.txt

branch1 is developers branch all source looks version'ed manner and branch2 is superset for branch1, example foo_v1 and foo_v2 are the directories in branch1 where developer will update the latest one here foo_v2 and branch2 foo is same as the latest one of branch1 for an instance.

Suppose developer send 10 patches on branch1 where are changes in terms of _/ then I need to apply on my local repo branch1, till now is fine then I need to apply same 10 patches on to my branch2 where source tree which is quite question here how can I do.

pull vs branch to branch merge in GIT?

I would like to run git rev-list with --no-merges to exclude the pull merge commits, but to still be able to see "regular" branch merges and their changes. Is there a way to do this or there is no way to tell between them ?

deletion of branch seems to modify tag as well in git...

$ git push origin :ABRANCHNAME
remote: Firing Pre - receive hook
remote:
remote:
remote: Firing Post receive hook
remote:
remote: Branch is ABRANCHNAME -- not creating Trigger file since this is not _int branch
remote: error: Trying to write ref refs/tags/ABRANCHNAME!SN-BL-20130605_100513_04363 with nonexistent object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
remote: fatal: refs/tags/ABRANCHNAME!SN-BL-20130605_100513_04363: cannot update the ref
To ssh://git@ourgitserver/repositoryname.git
- [deleted] ABRANCHNAME

I would not expect this behavior. Is git attempting to modify the tags associated to the HEAD commit on the branch in addition to the branch? If so, I would like to consider this a bug report...
