git-tips / tips Goto Github PK

git log --stat is more verbose than git log.
git log --stat gives more info including files added or changed in a commit
It is almost similar to git log but more verbose.
Can this be included as a tip??

I have several independent versions, just like ubuntu 14.x, 15.x, 16.x, so that this versions will not be merge.
if I have a commit or hotfix that wants to apply to different versions, how to do with git is the best practice?
such as git cherry-pick git archive git submodule? which can deal with this?
thanks!

Hi,
From what I can see, there is no tip talking about rewriting the commit history (authors, messages, dates), which is done with the git-filter-branch command.

This command is really not easy to use, and I don't see how it would be possible to add a one-line tip about that.

However, I have created a tool to help people doing that. You can check it out at git.io/editor, and the github repo is here

Do you think it would be possible to add it in the tools section? Or maybe add it in a tip?

Hello,
Here is a missing git tip:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1783405/checkout-remote-git-branch
By the way, I think it would make sense given the big number of tips to start creating categories, such as "branch", "commit", "pull", "push" ...
Cheers,
Théo

I have a tip which only becomes productive when configured as an alias. Should I submit it?

Commit 06b919d looks like a duplicate of this tip

Hi, I'm mingrammer

I've translated these tips to korean and published on my repository

So, please add this to your README.md for korean users :D

Here is my github repository : https://github.com/mingrammer/git-tips is for 한국어 (korean language)

Thanks for great tips!!

Can this be turned into a command-line utility. Something like this.

import json
from pprint import pprint
from sys import argv
from difflib import SequenceMatcher

def similar(a, b):
    return SequenceMatcher(None, a, b).ratio()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    SEARCH = ' '.join(argv[1:])
    DATA = None

    with open('tips.json') as data_file:
        DATA = json.load(data_file)

    MAX = max(DATA, key=lambda x: similar(SEARCH.lower(), x['title'].lower()))
    print(MAX)

Maybe if we get a better string similarity heuristic it would be better something like FuzzyWuzzy. Kindly share your thoughts on it.

It's seems that some git bash commands are working on my machine and it's absolutely updated...
Can someone tell me why?

Hi there,

The following could be misleading to a novice in GIT:
git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/master && git clean -f -d

Perhaps this one would suffice:
git fetch origin && git reset --hard HEAD && git clean -f -d

Just a couple sentences above the TOC that would at least include the git version on which these were tested (see also #47). Many operating systems are pinned on older versions with varying behavior. Ideally each command would have an "added in x.x" clause, but I understand if that's going a bit too far.

git shortlog is almost similar to git log
Should I add this or leave it since git shortlog is much similar in usage git log??

git help everyday Command generates error
No manual entry for giteveryday
Is there some dependencies that needs to installed??
Is everyday a git command??
Could you please help in this regard?

For ease of memorization and education purposes, some of these tips should have at least short explanations.

Example:

Delete remote branch
    git push origin --delete <remote_branchname>
Alternatives:
    git push origin :<remote_branchname>

The first command is almost obvious: newcomers to git only have to learn that "origin" is the conventional name of a remote repository, and thus it may be different in some cases. But explaining this may be deferred to git's official docs.

The alternative option is confusing for me even though I've been using git professionally for many years. The explanation is as follows:

Deleting References
You can also use the refspec to delete references from the remote server by running something like this:

$ git push origin :topic
Because the refspec is <src>:<dst>, by leaving off the <src> part, this basically says to make the topic branch on the remote nothing, which deletes it.

Or you can use the newer syntax (available since Git v1.7.0):

$ git push origin --delete topic

(from https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-The-Refspec)

Having short explanations like this, accompanied by links to related parts of official docs, would prevent a lot of cargo-cult-like behavior many git users are falling into.

Arguably, all this deeper knowledge can be found by reading the official docs but having quick access to only related parts would be very convenient for someone like me, who doesn't start with reading a whole book before trying something, but prefers to learn hands-on, step-by-step.

git branch -dr <remote/branch>

This does not actually delete the branch on the remote as the other two commands this is listed as an alternative for do.

in Update all the submoudles, it should be submodules

I'm unsure how to install on Cygwin as that uses pact and not npm...any suggestions?

The git-tips project is amazing! It was a great idea to make a usable JSON file. So I thought why not harness the tips.json and make a CLI - https://github.com/nirajpandkar/gtip

Further by tinkering the ~/.bashrc file one would be greeted with a new git-tip every time he/she opens the terminal. I think this'll help people to easily learn new git tips and tricks!

Feedbacks/Suggestions/Criticism are welcome 😄

Still a WIP. Inspired by @jdhitsolutions's Powershell script

Sometimes you made a mistake and want to attach couple of commits to another branch

aa -- bb -- cc -- dd -- ee
 \ -- ff -- gg

git rebase --onto NEW_BASE OLD_BASE
git rebase --onto gg cc

aa -- bb -- cc
 \ -- ff -- gg -- dd -- ee

Hi,

I would like to tranlate your tips in Korean.

But I could not find the way of putting translated files.

If you have any policy, let me know.

Currently:
Undo local changes with the last content in head
git checkout -- <file_name>
Should be:
Undo local changes with the content in index(staging)
git checkout -- <file_name>

Reference: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-checkout
Examples: git checkout hello.c
restore hello.c from the index

Hi,
I think this is a bug ❓

Hi man:

thanks for share tips about git, I just create a new plugin vim-cheat. and I use the json file as an upstream for the git tips.

with this plugin, you can quick view the tips in vim. and here is an PR for implement this feature.

wsdjeg/vim-cheat#3

This is a terrific project, especially for IT Pros like myself trying to learn Git. For those people, I created a simple PowerShell script that I run every time I start PowerShell to display a random tip. You can read about it here: http://bit.ly/1OgpK7O

Its showing in another language when i select English... Isn't it available in English?
