Maybe (from git commit man page): git commit –no-verify -m “commit message” ^^^^^^^^^^^ -n –no-verify This option bypasses the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks. See also githooks(5). As commented by Blaise, -n can have a different role for certain commands. For instance, git push -n is actually a dry-run push. Only git push –no-verify would skip … Read more
If you get this message after doing a git pull remote branch, try following it up with a git fetch. (Optionally, run git fetch -p to prune deleted branches from the repo) Fetch seems to update the local representation of the remote branch, which doesn’t necessarily happen when you do a git pull remote branch.
Do not use git-log for scripting: use either git-rev-list, or git-log with specified custom format (–format=*<sth>* option). There is additional problem with your question: there can exist more than one such TAIL root commit (parentless commit) in a repository (even if we discount disconnected branches, such as ‘html’, ‘man’ and ‘todo’ in git.git repository). This … Read more
Just include #xxx in your commit message to reference an issue without closing it. With new GitHub issues 2.0 you can use these synonyms to reference an issue and close it (in your commit message): fix #xxx fixes #xxx fixed #xxx close #xxx closes #xxx closed #xxx resolve #xxx resolves #xxx resolved #xxx You can … Read more
Basically git commit “records changes to the repository” while git push “updates remote refs along with associated objects“. So the first one is used in connection with your local repository, while the latter one is used to interact with a remote repository. Here is a nice picture from Oliver Steele, that explains the git model … Read more
Git generally doesn’t throw anything away, but recovering from this may still be tricky. If you have the correct source then you could just push it into the remote with the –force option. Git won’t have deleted any branches unless you told it to. If you have actually lost commits then take a look at … Read more
For Git 1.x $ git add -u This tells git to automatically stage tracked files — including deleting the previously tracked files. For Git 2.0 To stage your whole working tree: $ git add -u :/ To stage just the current path: $ git add -u .
I think other answers here are wrong, because this is a question of moving the mistakenly committed files back to the staging area from the previous commit, without cancelling the changes done to them. This can be done like Paritosh Singh suggested: git reset –soft HEAD^ or git reset –soft HEAD~1 Then reset the unwanted … Read more
You should be able to recover any files back that you added to the index (e.g, as in your situation, with git add .) although it might be a bit of work. In order to add a file to the index, git adds it to the object database, which means it can be recovered so … Read more
As of Git version 1.7.12, you may now use git rebase -i –root Documentation
