Tag git

Splitting a git repo into two, while retaining all history.

Prevent pushing to “main” locally with this git config snippet. It doesn’t rely on setting up the remote branch protections, though you should also do that.

Stick the following in your ~/.gitconfig to make `git branch` sort by most recently committed (thanks to @wingo@mastodon.social for this one!): [branch] sort = -committerdate

I'd like to be able to do this: git cherry-pick --interactive hash-0..hash-n-1 # fantasy command and obtain the same workflow as interactive rebase: an editor buffer comes up, containing: pick ...

Learn how to create a simple Makefile to quickly create a "checkpoint" in your Git history when you are rapidly prototyping.

Pressing "enter" on an empty buffer displays an information-rich and pretty dashboard. - chrisgrieser/zsh-magic-dashboard

PSA: Do not put git repos inside other git repos. Git is not a package manager. You will make yourself sad. It doesn't matter how many conceptual primitives they share. Don't do it. Just use a package manager. You don't even need a package repository. You can still download things directly from git repos if you want to. Just list them in a package.json or something, and let npm do it. Or go.mod. Anything. Please. For your own sake. And everyone who comes after you.

I’m pretty sure the most impactful thing I did this week was teach a colleague to git add with -p. And I feel pretty good about that. Context in case it’s useful: - p is for patch. Command ‘git add -p’ presents the user with all their unstaged changes, one chunk at a time, and prompts for whether to add it or not. This is better than using a dot to all your local changes, or having to type long file paths to pick up just a few files and ignore others. Try it!

Merge vs. Rebase vs. Squash. Anyone who says "100% of the time you <merge/rebase/squash>" is wrong and I'm strong in that opinion. I'm asked about this pretty regularly, so I decided to take my copy paste answer I always use and put it in a gist. 🍿 https://gist.github.com/mitchellh/319019b1b8aac9110fcfb1862e0c97fb

I'm having trouble finding out which tag is currently checked out. When I do: git checkout tag1 git branch I can't seem to find out which tag I'm on. It only logs: * (no branch) master Is it

GitHub switched to performing merges and rebases using merge-ort. Come behind the scenes to see why and how we made this change.

Yesterday I used the "git filter-repo" command for the first time. Have not felt such a thrill of power/danger since I first learned about "git rebase -i".

Intended audience: software engineers working with Git who happen to come across this value and want to confirm that it has particular significance.

If you have a local setup, just for you, and want it stored, here's how to do it, while leaving no footprints in the git repository.

Just add the following to your ~/.gitconfig [format] signOff = true git-scm.com/docs/git-confi…

git add -p is your best friend. Even if you state it all anyway. Oh and git commit -v 🥹

That's an exaggeration, if you've done `git status` and have seen what would be staged, then `git add .` can be okay, but even then we'd be better recommending `git add -pi`, which allows interactive staging of files; no more committing stuff you didn't mean to.

Here’s something interesting for you, @spences10 and @eddiejaoude; since you both posted interesting Git content this morning. There’s no such thing as a fork.

I have been a Vim user for 12 years and one important thing that you learn the first days using it is that you can be super efficient…

Another new release of Git is here! Take a look at some of our highlights on what's new in Git 2.36.

Don't wait until you have an emergency to learn about git rebasing and cherrypicking. You won't need them often; but it's a superpower to be able to say; "I know how to fix this problem, here's what you do..."

Pull requests predate Github though.
