From the documentation: If the pattern does not contain a slash /, git treats it as a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname relative to the location of the .gitignore file (relative to the toplevel of the work tree if not from a .gitignore file). A leading slash matches the … Read more
Sorting by tag creation date works with annotated and lightweight tags: git for-each-ref –sort=creatordate –format ‘%(refname) %(creatordate)’ refs/tags
This may be an old reply but I’m hoping this is more useful on next who need this solution. On linux/unix/gitbash/cygwin, try rm -f .git/index.lock On Windows Command Prompt, try: del .git\index.lock
Example in PHP: Navigate to github into your github repository add click “Admin” click tab ‘Service Hooks’ => ‘WebHook URLs’ and add http://your-domain-name/git_test.php then create git_test.php <?php try { $payload = json_decode($_REQUEST[‘payload’]); } catch(Exception $e) { exit(0); } //log the request file_put_contents(‘logs/github.txt’, print_r($payload, TRUE), FILE_APPEND); if ($payload->ref === ‘refs/heads/master’) { // path to your site … Read more
refs/original/* is there as a backup, in case you mess up your filter-branch. Believe me, it’s a really good idea. Once you’ve inspected the results, and you’re very confident that you have what you want, you can remove the backed up ref: git update-ref -d refs/original/refs/heads/master or if you did this to many refs, and … Read more
Here’s simpler, “pure Git” way to do it, with no pipeline needed: git log –diff-filter=A — foo.js Check the documentation. You can do the same thing for Deleted, Modified, etc. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#Documentation/git-log.txt—diff-filterACDMRTUXB82308203 I have a handy alias for this, because I always forget it: git config –global alias.whatadded ‘log –diff-filter=A’ This makes it as simple as: … Read more
Per this comment (and I checked that this is true), rado’s answer is very close but leaves git in a detached head state. Instead, remove HEAD and use this to remove <commit-id> from the branch you’re on: git rebase –onto <commit-id>^ <commit-id>
The key to reliably “scripting” Git is to use the ‘plumbing’ commands. The developers take care when changing the plumbing commands to make sure they provide very stable interfaces (i.e. a given combination of repository state, stdin, command line options, arguments, etc. will produce the same output in all versions of Git where the command/option … Read more
git diff-tree -r –no-commit-id –name-only –diff-filter=ACMRT $commit_id git diff-tree -r $commit_id: Take a diff of the given commit to its parent(s) (including all subdirectories, not just the top directory). –no-commit-id –name-only: Do not output the commit SHA1. Output only the names of the affected files instead of a full diff. –diff-filter=ACMRT: Only show files added, … Read more
