git config
5 Git configurations I make on Linux
This has been run the very first time you use git commit.
git commit (commit to the local repository) will ask username/password if we have not logged in (that is, this step has been done before we run git commit). The identity will be saved under ~/.gitconfig file.
git config --global user.name "Your Name Here" git config --global user.email [email protected]
OR to have a project specific git identity (this will write your identify in ./.git/config file)
git config user.name "Your Name Here" git config user.email [email protected]
Type
git config --list
to confirm the configuration.
Another way: Tweak your Git config for multiple user IDs

Introduction to version Control in R with RStudio, Git, and Github
- create a new repo on github. Skip creating License or README since if the new repository is not empty we will have a trouble to do an initial "git push". We can set the new repository private initially until everything is working. If a new repository was created, github will give us an instruction.
- create a new project folder locally. Make sure ".gitignore" is created/checked in RStudio
- create new files/directories locally.
- run "git init".
- run "git config user.name"
- run "git config user.email"
- run "git remote add origin [email protected]:arraytools/heatmap.git" for example where heatmap is my repository's name. The link is under the green Code -> SSH button.
- run "git branch -M main"
- run "git push -u origin main"
- Change the github repository to public if we want to use services like html preview.
R: usethis
git and GitHub in R for the casual user
Most common commands
- git clone
- git add
- git commit
- git push
- git pull
- git branch
- git merge
- git status
git stage area
If you have run git add, git rm or git mv command, you put some files in the stage area. In other words git knows about the change, but it is not permanent in the repository. The next commit will include the changes staged.
Should you decide not to commit the change, the status command will remind you that you can use the git reset command to unstage these changes.
For example, if your IDE accidentally deletes a file for you, you can run git reset HEAD FILENAME and git checkout FILENAME to recover the file.
'git mv' vs 'mv'
If we use 'git mv SOMEFILE NEWILE', we will not be able to use 'git checkout SOMEFILE'.
If we try to do that, we will get a message "error: pathspec 'SOMEFILE' did not match any file(s) known to git".
git remote, git push, git clone and remote repository
For a new repository, use git remote add origin (not git remote set-url) before calling git push.
git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git # 'origin' is an alias of the long URL git remote add origin [email protected]:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
git push (push to a remote repository) will ask the username and/or password. To avoid asking the username part,
git remote set-url origin https://name:[email protected]/name/repo.git git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/name/repo.git # skip password for security git remote -v cat .git/config
OR when you run git clone, use the format
git clone https://[email protected]/name/repos.git git clone https://[email protected]/name/repos.git repos2 # use 'repos2' as the directory name # git clone [email protected]:username/repos.git git remote -v
Either way, we can check the the remote repository by using git config --list or cat .git/config.
- When I commit (git commit) a directory containing resource file, it shows warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in xxxx.qrc.
- Password cache
- github tutorial (for statistician)
- git add -A
git config --global credential.helper cache
git clone when no 'master' branch exists
Warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout
In my case, I need to run
git clone ssh://[email protected]/home/git/seqtoolsweb.git --branch gh-pages --single-branch seqtoolsweb
A local copy of origin/master
When we do 'git push', git will automatically create a copy of origin/branchName on our local computer. So origin/branchName is a branch on our local machine that references the remote server branch.
Use 'git fetch' to sync our local copy of origin/branchName with remote's branchName.
Github wiki pages
Documenting your project with wikis from the official Github Help website.
See here for git clone the wiki repository.
git clone https://[email protected]/myusername/foobar.wiki.git git checkout $(git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- yourPage)^ -- yourPage
It works on the motionEye wiki page. git clone https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye.wiki.git
git clone --depth=1
只克隆某个指定分支的最近一次commit. Why use a git clone depth 1?
git fork
- https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo
- How can I tell who forked my repository on GitHub?. You can check the forks in Insights -> Forks.
First example
My example of working on a new repository called 'network'.
- Follow https://help.github.com/articles/create-a-repo to create a new repository. For convenience, I also check the button to create README file.
- Click 'GitHub' icon on Windows Desktop. Look at the LHS and click on the word 'github'. Click 'clone' button (This can be accomplished by git clone https://github.com/arraytools/network.git). The new repository will appear under C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Github\ directory. Now Click 'Git Shell' icon on the Windows Desktop and go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Github\network directory where 'network' is my repository's name.
git config --global color.ui auto # colorize the output of git git init git add client.c git add server.c git add server2.c git commit -m 'first commit' git status # On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. # git remote add origin https://github.com/arraytools/network.git # git push <remote> <branch> git push origin master # It seems 'git push' is the only chance we use the format 'origin master' instead of 'origin/master'. # If we modify any file, we need to go through git add, git commit and git push 3 commands. # get commit_id git log # get a specific version git checkout commit_id # You are in 'detached HEAD' state # after an examination, we want to get the latest version git pull origin master # If you do not want to merge the upstream changes wit your local repository, run git fetch to # fetch the changes and then git merge to merge the changes. # git pull is just a combination of fetch and merge. # To rename a file git mv originafile newfile git commit -m "rename orginalfile" git push # To remove a file rm myfile git add . -A git commit -m "remove a file" git push # Revert to origin's master branch's version of file # http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1817766/revert-to-origins-master-branchs-version-of-file # 1. Assuming you did not commit the file, or add it to the index, then: git checkout filename # 2. Assuming you added it to the index, but did not commit it, then: git reset HEAD filename git checkout filename
Check the https://github.com/arraytools/network. The commit goes to the repository!
In summary: add and commit are local operations, push, pull and fetch are operations that interact with a remote.
If we want to checkout a specific commit on a new computer, we can use (here we use Qt repository as an example)
git clone https://xxxxxx/xxxxxx/Qt.git cd Qt git log --oneline git checkout SHA1 (7 digits obtained from git log --oneline commandis enough)
After that we can run
# move HEAD to origin git checkout origin/master # You are in 'detached HEAD' state # I should use "git checkout master" to go back to my local master # OR # use something like "git checkout -b test origin/master" # Visualize using text mode git log --graph --oneline --date-order --decorate --color --all
Using GUI client: gitg
sudo apt-get install gitg
To switch among different branch (eg. github project page is located in gh-pages branch of a repository),
git checkout gh-pages git checkout master
GUI version of Git software
Should You Use a GUI Git Client?
Windows
Go to http://git-scm.com/download. The Windows version contain 'Git Bash', 'Git CMD', and 'Git GUI'. The 'Git GUI' software (based on Tcl/Tk) works pretty cool. It can 'Rescan' the project, compare the changed filefs and visualize the master's history too. The Git comes with 2 built-in tools: Git-gui is for committing and gitk is for browsing. Screenshots of gitk can be found below.
Note that Git-gui cannot run git pull directly. We have to go through two steps: Fetch and merge. See this message.
When installing Git for Windows, there's a tricky option you need to be careful with. You can configure Git to change line endings on text files from Linux (LF only) to/from Windows-DOS (CR and LF).
Linux
Use gitk or gitg (sudo apt install gitg, better than gitk on gnome based Ubuntu). For example,
gitk --all
If we run the gitk/gitg in background (gitg --all &), we will see the tree changed in real time when we run git commands in a terminal.
The problem with gitk is the font is awful.
gitg program (install it by sudo apt install gitg) looks nice.
GitKraken needs to sign in with Github or Gitkraken account.
git-cola: I am lost:(
Mac
- GitHub Desktop (Electron based)
- GitKraken, free but not open-source. GitKraken offers a subscription model for additional features and support.
- SmartGit, free but not open-source for the current version. SmartGit also offers a subscription model for additional features and support.
- Lazygit is a terminal-based Git client with a user-friendly interface.
Gitk colors and bold
The missing gitk documentation.
- a yellow dot ○ marks the current HEAD (it seems the yellow dot and bold branch name are always together). Note that if we use "git log" to show the history in the command line, the HEAD is shown in cyan color. See Use gitk to understand git.
- local branch names are in a green background. See Use gitk to understand git.
- remote branch names are in a mixed orange/green background. See Use gitk to understand git.
- the currently checked out branch name is in bold
- tags are on a yellow background
See a screenshot at Branch - Pull.
ssh key
See Linux > Multiple ssh keys.
- Github
- Using SSH for GitHub Passwordless Authentication
- Bitbucket. Remember to change the remote repository from https protocol to git protocol on local repository.
If you add a new key to your bitbucket account, you will receive an email about the change.

Use command line to create a remote repository
Is it possible to create a remote repo on GitHub from the CLI without opening browser?
curl -F 'login=username' -F 'token=API Token' \ https://github.com/api/v2/yaml/repos/create -F name=reponame
Set up a new local/remote repository
There is no tracking information for the current branch
mkdir /path/to/your/project cd /path/to/your/project git init git remote add origin https://[email protected]/arraytools/REPOSITORYNAME.git # git remote add origin [email protected]:arraytools/REPOSITORYNAME.git # git remote add origin ssh://[email protected]/home/git/REPOSITORYNAME.git # git clone ssh://[email protected]/home/git/REPOSITORYNAME.git git config user.name "YOUR NAME" git config user.email "YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS" git config --list # confirm # Option 1 # Create README.md using Github Web git pull origin main # Con: no tracking info is recorded git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main master git pull # Option 2 echo "arraytools" >> contributors.txt git add contributors.txt git commit -m 'Initial commit with contributors' git push -u origin master
Already has a git repository on my computer
cd /path/to/my/repo git remote add origin https://[email protected]/arraytools/REPOSITORYNAME.git git push -u origin --all # pushes up the repo and its refs for the first time git push -u origin --tags # pushes up any tags
Rename a remote repository
- Go to github.com, open the project and click Settings button on the left-bottom corner. Change the repository name on top.
- On local machine, rename the directory. Go to the directory. Issue
git remote -v
to get the ULR for the current working copy. Suppose the url is [email protected]:someuser/someproject.git. Now issue the following command to change to the new repository
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:someuser/newprojectname.git
Suppose we have added ssh key to git server and we want to use ssh key/protocol to automatically access the server instead of entering the password (https protocol). See
$ # the REMOTE below could be 'origin' or any name you define $ git remote show REMOTE $ git remote set-url REMOTE ssh://[email protected]/USERNAME/REPOS.git $ git remote show REMOTE $ git status # show local branch is update-to-date with REMOTE/BRANCH.
'master' and 'origin'
- master is a branch name. You can use git branch to find out all branches. The current branch has a asterisk in the command line output and has a bold font in the gitk program.
- origin is a repository name. You are free to create a new one and delete origin especially in situation that you are working with multiple remotes. That is, if you run git clone -o booyah instead, then you will have booyah/master as your default remote branch. See Remote Branches or Use gitk to understand git.
Change GitHub default branch from master to main
- 5 steps to change GitHub default branch from master to main
- Renaming the default branch from tidyverse by Jenny Bryan
'origin master' vs 'origin/master' format
- origin master format: git push, git pull, git fetch where the branch name is optional.
- origin/master format: branch, diff, log, merge, reset but don't do it on checkout unless we create a new branch; eg git checkout -b newBranch origin/newBranch. Note that origin/master is a local copy of the branch named "master" on the remote named "origin".
See stackoverflow.
Multiple remotes
Keep track of multiple Git remote repositories
Suppose I have a remote at github.com. I add another remote (bitbucket.com) in my current project.
$ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. $ git push -u bitbucket master $ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'bitbucket/master'. $ git branch -a * master remotes/bitbucket/master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master $ git checkout origin/master # seems not what I want to do Note: checking out 'origin/master'. You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b new_branch_name HEAD is now at 980fd0b... test fetch +1 $ git status HEAD detached at origin/master $ git checkout master Switched to branch 'master' Your branch is up-to-date with 'bitbucket/master'. $ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'bitbucket/master'. nothing to commit, working directory clean $ nano linuxfile $ git commit -am "multiple remote +1" $ git push origin master $ git status On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'bitbucket/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working directory clean $ # Question: How to switch back to origin repository to sync? $ # How do I change the remote a git branch is tracking? $ # Method 1: "-u" in git push; see next section about "-u" $ git push -u origin master Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin. Everything up-to-date $ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. nothing to commit, working directory clean $ # Method 2: "-u" in git branch; see next section about "-u" $ git branch master -u bitbucket/master Branch master set up to track remote branch master from bitbucket. $ git status On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'bitbucket/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working directory clean
How to know which remote's master branch to pull/push
$ git status # On branch master # Your branch is up-to-date with 'bitbucket/master'
Import/move/migrate (not clone) a repository from one remote to another remote
NB: bitbucket allows to use its web interface to import a remote repository. We just need to give it the URL (eg from Github) and the new repository name. I can use this way to back up some public repositories from github.
Suppose the new remote is on bitbucket.
rsync -av DIRECTORY . cd SUBDIRECTORY git remote -v # Examine the current URL git remote set-url origin [email protected]:USERNAME/DIRECTORY.git git remote -v # Examine the new URL git push -u origin --all git push origin --tags

# fetch all of the remote branches and tags $ git fetch origin $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/develop remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/release/0.1 $ git checkout -b develop origin/develop $ git checkout -b release/0.1 origin/release/0.1 $ git branch -a develop master * release/0.1 remotes/origin/develop remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/release/0.1 # all branches in our repository are stored locally, # we are ready to move the repository to a new host # assume we have an SSH-cloned URL of our new repository $ git remote add new-origin [email protected]:manakor/manascope.git # This will give us two remotes for the existing repository: # the original one (named origin, connected to the existing remote host) and # a new one (named new-origin, connected to the new host). # pushing all branches at once $ git push --all new-origin $ git push --tags new-origin # make new-origin the default remote, $ git remote rm origin $ git remote rename new-origin origin
How to keep two Git repositories in sync
How to keep two Git repositories in sync
$ git clone --mirror https://primary_repo_url/primary_repo.git $ cd primary_repo.git $ git remote add --mirror=fetch secondary https://secondary_repo_url/secondary_repo.git $ git fetch origin $ git push secondary --all
-u option
The key is "argument-less git-pull". When you do a git pull from a branch, without specifying a source remote or branch, git looks at the branch.<name>.merge setting to know where to pull from. git push -u sets this information for the upstreaming branch you're pushing.
“git push -u origin master” vs “git push origin master”
What does the '-u' do in git push. The message: most of time we want to use "-u" option.
Adding '-u' means our local master is tracking remote's master branch. Run "cat .git/config" and look at the [branch 'master'] section -> the 'remote' key. It should have a value 'origin'. The 'merge' key has a value 'refs/head/master'. These information are added automatically when we clone a remote repository.
If we do not put "-u" in git push, it would not be a tracking branch. We can manually edit 'git/config' file or use git branch --set-upstream-to or just "-u" and the branch name (check out git help branch). For example, "git branch -u origin/newbranch newbranch" where newbranch is a local branch name.
Also we can untrack a remote branch by using "git branch --unset-upstream newbranch".
git branch
The git branch command can be used to connect a local branch and a remote branch.
$ git status # suppose the local master is connected to bitbucket/master $ git branch master -u origin/master # now the local master is connected to origin/master # the local branch name and the remote branch name can be different if you like! $ git status
Note that gitk can not see the difference when we change the connection of a local branch and a remote branch. Only the git status can reveal the connection.
Example
Setup editor
See man git-commit.
git config --global core.editor "nano" # OR export GIT_EDITOR=nano # OR for other programs to use too export EDITOR=nano
After that
$ cat ~/.gitconfig [core] editor = nano
Multiline commit messages
Once we issue "git commit -a", it opens a text editor. When we write the messages, we want the first line a simple description, the 2nd line empty and the rest of lines a more detailed message. With this way, when we use "git log --oneline", the message is short and we can still use "git log" to see the full message.
.gitignore file
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8527597/how-do-i-ignore-files-in-a-directory-in-git
- Use "!" to negate. For example, the following rule will ignore the directory 'packrat' but still keep the file 'packrat/packrat.lock'.
packrat/* !packrat/packrat.lock
- Microsoft Office temporary files. It works if we haven't made a mistake to run commit.
git help gitignore # or man gitignore
A leading slash indicates that the ignore entry is only to be valid with respect to the directory in which the .gitignore file resides. Specifying *.o would ignore all .o files in this directory and all subdirs, while /*.o would just ignore them in that dir, while again, /foo/*.o would only ignore them in /foo/*.o.

- We cannot use {*.R,*.Rmd} for including two types of files; we need to write these rules separately.

- Do not end the subject line with a period
- Use the imperative mood in the subject line
- Wrap the body at 72 characters
- Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
- A commit message should answer three primary questions;
- Why is this change necessary? (most important)
- How does this commit address the issue?
- What effects does this change have?
git status, multiple branches
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'
$ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. nothing to commit, working directory clean
When git status says up to date, it means "up to date with the upstream status that was retrieved last time we did a fetch" which is not the same as "up to date with the latest live status of the upstream".
nothing to commit, working directory clean
If we have a new branch on local which does not exist on remote, it is useful to use the git remote show REMOTENAME command to find out what branches are tracked.
$ git status On branch newbranch nothing to commit, working directory clean $ git remote show bitbucket * remote bitbucket Fetch URL: ssh://[email protected]/XXXXXX/toy.git Push URL: ssh://[email protected]/XXXXXX/toy.git HEAD branch: master Remote branch: master tracked Local ref configured for 'git push': master pushes to master (up to date) $ git diff bitbucket/master diff --git a/linuxfile b/linuxfile index 894674f..b9f3a6f 100644 --- a/linuxfile +++ b/linuxfile @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ test ssh key (mod in mint again) changed from 'newbranch' -another line +mod from newbranch $ git push bitbucket master Everything up-to-date
Note that
- The last command is NOT working since only the local/master can be pushed to remote/master. Local/newbranch cannot be pushed to remote/master.
- The local 'master' branch can be pushed to either remote1/master or remote2/master.
Remove untracked files
Go to the top directory of the local repository (or it won't work), then run
$ git clean -f -n # dry run $ git clean -f # real run
See the discussion.

Undo/Reset
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Undoing-Things
git commit --amend
If you commit too early and possibly forget to add some files, or you mess up your commit message.
Assumption: Commit has not been pushed online
$ git commit -m 'initial commit' $ git add forgotten_file $ git commit --amend # In your text editor, edit the commit message and save the commit.
You end up with a single commit.
If the commit has been pushed online, see https://help.github.com/articles/changing-a-commit-message/.

git fetch
Use git fetch as often as possible; before git push or before you go offline or before you work.
$ git fetch $ git log --oneline -5 origin/master $ git branch # local only $ git branch -r # remote only $ git checkout master $ git merge origin/master $ git log --oneline master
git fetch vs git pull
- If I am in the middle of committing something and get some work going on, I will do a git fetch to see what's on the server.
- If I am starting my work without making any changes/commits yet, I'll do a git pull. I want every thing on the server as my starting point.
git fetch and gikt
After we run git fetch origin master, we will see the remote commits from gitk if we add --all option.
gitk --all # OR gitg --all
git show: show details on a commit
git show SHA git show --name-status SHA # list the filenames along with an indicator (A for added, M for modified, D for deleted)
Use 'f' to move forward and 'b' to move backward.
git log
log in a branch or origin/master
View log from origin/master (it's a tracking copy on our local computer; it's not the actual remote branch)
$ git log myBranch $ git log --oneline -5 origin/master # last 5 commits from origin/master
git log on a specific file
git log FILENAME
git show change history of a file
Terminal
git log -p FILENAME
GUI
gitk FILENAME
git log show changed files only
How to View Commit History With Git Log
git log --name-only git log --stat # show how many lines of changes in files
git log message is too long
Normally when we use 'git log' command, long log messages get truncated.
Use the following to view the complete log messages instead of truncated log messages.
git log | less
Common standard is 78 characters. See this and this posts.
filtering by a date
git log --since=2019-01-01 git log --until=2019-01-01 git log --until="3 days ago" git log --after=2.weeks --before=3.days
filter by a name
git log --author="xxx" # author string contains "xxx"
filter by a keyword in log
Search for a string in the log
git log --grep='String'
filter by commits
git log bd210165..HEAD git log <SHA>..<SHA>
Count number of commits
git rev-list --count master
Best ones: adding --graph --all
git log --graph --all --stat # just see lines of changes, sha1 is complete git log --graph --all --stat --abbrev-commit # same as above but sha1 is short git log --graph --all --oneline --decorate # sha1 is short, but the log message could be very very long

- 15 Git Branch Command Examples to Create and Manage Branches
- Git Branch. git branch is tightly integrated with the git checkout and git merge commands.
- 9 Git Branching Strategies Every Developer Should Know
Gitk shows all of the commits as a single straight line. In git, a branch is a label for a commit. The label moves to new commits as they are created. When you create a git branch, you are not changing anything in the structure of the repository or the source tree. You are just creating a new label.
Below are some info borrowed from Pro Git.
list local and remote branches
mac$ git branch # list branches in local repo branch0323 * master mac$ git branch -a # list all remote branches branch0323 * master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master
"--track" option
When you clone a repository, it generally automatically creates a master branch that tracks origin/master.
To set up other tracking branches, see Remote branches.
git checkout --track origin/serverfix
Create a new local or remote branch, checkout a remote branch?
We can use git branch or git checkout to create a new branch.
git branch testing # do not switch git log --oneline --decorate git checkout -b <new-branch> # creates and checks out <new-branch> off the current HEAD git checkout -b <new-branch> <existing-branch>
Pay attention to the keywords 'HEAD', 'master' and 'testing' in this case.
To create a new branch and switch to the new branch
git status git checkout -b myBranch # OR create a new branch starting at the commit with an identifier # git checkout -b myBranch XXXXXXX git status git log
To create a new branch based on a remote branch. Remote branch is just like any branch with one exception: you can't check them out. You can merge with them. You can see what's in them. But you can't check them out. Instead you need to create a new branch which tracks it.
# Method 1: it does not move HEAD. git branch myBranch origin/myBranch git log --oneline -5 myBranch # red color = a local copy of the remote repo, green color = local repo # Method 2: it switches to the new branch immediately git checkout -b myBranch origin/myBranch
To create a remote branch, git push origin MyBranch; see Git Branch from Atlassian.
Delete a branch locally or from the remote
How to Delete a Branch in Git Locally and Remotely
Cf. Push to the remote branch by git push -u origin newBranch; git branch -r.
Delete a local copy of a branch.
# Since you can't delete a branch you're on, switch to the master branch. git branch git checkout master git branch -d myBranch
To delete the branch from the remote:
git push origin :myBranch # OR git push -d origin myBranch # Checking git branch -r
Switch branches in local repository
git checkout testing git branch nano test.rb git commit -a -m 'made a change' git checkout master nano test.rb git commit -a -m 'made other changes' git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all
Note that when you run git pull without specify the branch name (eg gh-pages from the current local branch), it won't pull the latest from another branch (eg master).
Git worktree
Load different R package versions at once with git worktree
git checkout
- https://guide.freecodecamp.org/git/git-checkout/. It compares "git checkout -b" and "git checkout -B".
- git checkout -b NEW-BRANCH-NAME will create and checkout out a new branch.
- git checkout -B BRANCH-NAME START-POINT will checkout a New Branch or Reset a Branch to a Start Point.
- Generally, Git won’t let you checkout another branch unless your working directory is clean, because you would lose any working directory changes that aren’t committed. You have three options to handle your changes: 1) trash them, 2) commit them, or 3) stash them.
Get the short Git version hash of HEAD
$ git rev-parse --short HEAD 38733fd # Compare to $ git log --oneline
Detached head/HEAD detached from xxxxxxx when you check out from a commit
- When you run git checkout XXX (where XXX represents the commit hash or commit ID), the following happens:
- Your working directory and staging area (index) are updated to match the state of the specified commit.
- All files are reverted to the state they were in at that commit.
- You are now in a detached HEAD state, meaning you’re not on any branch but directly on the commit.
- Before we run "git checkout", use "git status" to make sure the current local repository is clean.
- Better no to run "git checkout origin/XXX" or "git checkout SHA1" or "git checkout TAG". The right way is to create a local branch and then switch to that. git checkout -b branchXYZ origin/branchXYZ.
- HEAD detached from origin/master.
- Detached HEADS. When it points to a branch, Git doesn't complain, but when you check out a commit, it switches into a “detached HEAD” state. The point is, your development should always take place on a branch—never on a detached HEAD.
- How Do You Fix a “Detached HEAD” in a Git Repository?
(2020-03-23) I must made some mistake. See the following and the solution is by following the suggestion from the on-screen message.
git checkout XXXXXXX cp myfile /tmp/myfile git checkout origin/master # begin to mess up; why git allows this action? nano myfile # merge something from the old file '/tmp/myfile' git commit # repeat the commit action again for another change git status # HEAD detached from origin/master git checkout master # Warning: you are leaving 2 commits behind, not connected to any of your branches: # If you want to keep them by creating a new branch, this may be a good time to do so with: # git branch <new-branch-name> 854c654 # Switched to branch 'master' # Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. # Solution 1: git branch branch0323 854c654 git branch # check my current branch # Solution 2: git checkout -b branch0323 git merge branch0323 # Done
(suggested by bing chat)
# Discard changes git reset # Unstage all changes that have been added to the index (i.e., that are set to be committed) git checkout -- . # To revert all unstaged changes (i.e., changes that you’ve made but have not yet added to the index) git status # Don't worry about untracked files git checkout HEX # HEAD -> HEX # You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental # changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this # state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch. git log git checkout main # HEAD -> main
Good practice
See Get an old commit and merge some of its code to the current code.
Basic merging and conflicts
git checkout -b iss53 # shorthand for # git branch iss53 # git checkout iss53 nano index.html git commit -a -m 'added a new footer [issue 53]' git checkout master git checkout -b hotfix nano index.html git commit -a -m 'fixed the broken email address' git checkout master # step 1. Move back to master for merging git merge hotfix # step 2. Merge the hotfix branch into the master git branch -d hotfix # step 3. Delete the branch git checkout iss53 nano index.html git commit -a -m 'finished the new footer [issue 53]'
Basic Merging:
git checkout master git merge iss53
Basic merge conflicts:
git merge iss53 git status # Look at the standard conflict-resolution markers to the top of files git mergetool git status
push the new branch to remote
We can have a branch on our local computer only. We can also have a branch that is shared on the remote.
# make sure we are at the right branch $ git branch -a master * newbranch remotes/bitbucket/master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master $ git push -u bitbucket newbranch # '-u' is to add the tracking information $ git status On branch newbranch Your branch is up-to-date with 'bitbucket/newbranch'. nothing to commit, working directory clean
If another machine runs git pull, it will get the new branch. The result can be seen by gitk --all.
pull
Suppose we are at the 'newbranch'. Some files are modified and committed to 'newbranch' (these actions are only done locally).
If someone modified files and committed to the 'master' branch, then when we run git pull (keep it in mind that we are still on newbranch) the files we just modified & committed OR even any files aren't affected since git pull is pulling files from the 'master' branch.
If we use the gitk --all or git log --graph --all --oneline --decorate command, we may see (remote has an orange background color, branch has a green background color, a yellow dot marks the current HEAD)
- remotes/bitbucket/newbranch
- remotes/bitbucket/master
- newbranch (local)
- master (local)
These 4 branches could be on different nodes. Note. gitk output is easy to read but git log gives the SHA information. The screenshot from git log below does NOT use the --decorate option.
Branch management
git branch git branch -v # see the last commit on each branch git branch -vv # see the last commit and what remote branch a local branch is tracking? git branch --merged # Filter the list to branches that you have merged into the branch you're currently on git branch --no-merged # See the branches that contain work you haven't yet merged in git branch -a # show all remotes' branches too git branch -d testing

Remote branches, tracking branches
https://git-scm.com/book/ch3-5.html
Remote references are references (pointers) in your remote repositories, including branches, tags, and so on.
Pushing:
git ls-remote (remoteName) git remote show (remoteName) # add RSA key fingerprint if the git is using the ssh protocol git push origin serverfix # serverfix is a branch name
Do not type your password every time: you can set up a credential cache. The simplest is to keep it in memory for a few minutes, which you can set up by running
git config --global credential.helper cache
One collaborator fetches from the server. They will get a reference to where the server's version of serverfix is under the remote branch origin/serverfix:
git fetch origin git checkout -b serverfix origin/serverfix
Tracking Branches:
Note: Tracking means that a local branch has its upstream set to a remote branch. Tracking can occur when we use clone or checkout commands. Tracking's advantage is to save our typing. Without tracking information, we need to specify the remote branch name when we want to interact with it (git fetch, git push, git pull).
When you clone a repository, it creates a master branch that tracks origin/master. However you can set up other tracking branches if you wish - ones that track branches on other remotes, or don't track the master branch.
If you create a new branch on your local repository, this new branch by default has no tracking information to a remote branch. So when we use "git push origin newBranch" (no "-u"), it does not add the tracking info. We can use --set-upstream-to or -u option when we use "git branch" to set up the tracking information; see "git help branch". One example: git branch -u origin/newBranch newBranch. Use cat .git/config to double check.
FAQ: git checkout --track origin/branch VS git checkout -b branch origin/branch. Basically '-b' allows a different branch name.
git checkout --track origin/serverfix # if the branch name you're trying to checkout (a) does not exist and (b) exactly # matches a name on only one remote, Git will create a tracking branch for you git checkout serverfix # set up a local branch with a different name than the remote branch git checkout -b sf origin/serverfix # your local branch sf will auto pull from origin/serverfix # if you ALREADY have a local branch and want to set it to a remote branch # you just pulled down, or want to change the upstream branch you're tracking. git branch -u origin/serverfix # see what tracking branches you have set up in your local repo git branch -vv
Pulling:
git pull # Equivalent to two actions git fetch origin # get the contents of the remote repository (origin), # but keep them under origin/branch branch # requires the password git merge origin/master # merge the master branch of the remote repository (origin) with your current branch # no password required
Deleting Remote Branches:
git push origin --delete serverfix
Rebasing - integrate changes from 2 branches
In Git, there are two main ways to integrate changes from one branch into another: the merge and the rebase.

(use "git pull" to update your local branch) nothing to commit, working directory clean
We can also use the gitk to view the log. The following is a screenshot from Window's git gui (Windows Start > Git > Git Gui. Then Repository > Visualize All Branch History). As you can see the local repository (master w/ yellow circle) is 2 commits behind the remote repository (remotes/origin/master w/ blue circle).
git difftool, mergetool & meld
Setting up and using Meld as your git difftool and mergetool
View differences of branches with meld?
git diff can only show the differences on the terminal. git difftool will show the difference on the GUI program.
git difftool FILENAME -y will launch 'meld' (if it has been installed before) to compare the file between revisions by using custom tools. It has to be run before we call git add. This is quite convenient since you can double check before running git commit. The '-y' argument is used to launch a diff tool without a prompt. See the documentation here.
To compare two revisions (sha1sum, branch name)
git difftool <revision_1> <revision_2>
It will open the first file in Meld. After we close the first file, it will launch the 2nd file in Meld, and so on.
The current meld has a new tool to compare git versions. New comparison > Version control. Select a git directory. It will show the differences of the local master and the current folder (left = local master, right = current dir). I can also launch the comparison from the command line:
git difftool -d master # '-d' means a directory comparison # left = current master, right = current dir # OR git branch myBranch SHA1 git difftool -d myBranch # compare myBranch with my current branch # left = myBranch, right = current master
To create a (temporary) branch, use git branch -b BRANCHNAME. To delete a (temporary) branch, use git branch -D BRANCHNAME.
It may be helpful to run the following too
git config --global diff.tool meld
Meld and Diffuse
How to build Meld 3.20 on Ubuntu. Note when we install meld using apt, it is installed under /usr/bin/meld.
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld.git cd meld git checkout meld-3-20 python3 setup.py install --prefix=/usr sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install intltool sudo apt install libxml2-utils sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev-bin sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev sudo apt install libcairo2-dev pip3 install pycairo pip3 install PyGObject sudo python3 setup.py install --prefix=/usr meld
To make meld to be in the right click menu, follow
- http://askubuntu.com/questions/112164/how-can-i-diff-two-files-with-nautilus
- http://superuser.com/questions/307927/right-click-files-to-meld
Another method of comparing two files without using the 'browse' button will be to use the command line.
The 'nautilus-compare' program does not work from my testing on Ubuntu 14.04.
Some thoughts
- I install kdiff3 (<2 MB to download) and the 'File' -> 'Reload' (F5) function there works though it shows an extra space on the place I modified.
- Beyond Compare (commercial $30/$60, trial version can be downloaded)
- diffuse. When I modified a file, diffuse can detect a change and ask me to reload the file. I am using the apt-get to install the software and the version number is 0.4.7 (2014). To copy lines from left panel to right panel, use 'Ctrl + Shift + >' or the Copy Selection Right icon. One drawback is it cannot save the history from the GUI though we can use the command line to include the file names in the arguments.
- Alternatively we can use WinMerge on Linux. To do that, install Wine on Ubuntu. Download Winmerge (I am using 2.14.0). Then on a terminal, run the following command. At the end, WinMerge will be launched. WinMerge can also be launched from Mint Menu -> Wine -> WinMerge. One problem is I cannot increase the font size (though acceptable) from View -> Select Font.
wine WinMerge-2.14.0-Setup.exe
git-split-diffs
git-split-diffs. This currently requires node version 12 or newer to run.
Pull and overwrite local files
If we want to run git pull and also overwrite possibly changed local file, we use (see stackoverflow)
git fetch --all git reset --hard origin/master
Your branch is ahead by X commits after running git pull
git status shows Your branch is Ahead by X commits after running git pull. See this post. The solution is to run git fetch after git pull.
This repository currently has approximately XXXX loose objects
git gc --aggressive
git commit -am
works only for simple edits. It does not work for renaming files, etc.
For initial file commit, use git add -A and git commit -m XXX. git commit -a will commit all changes to tracked files. But untracked files will not be committed at any point. Read Git commit -am does not work on initial commit. Why?.
git diff HEAD
This command shows the differences between the current working directory (which represents the current code) and the most recent commit (i.e., HEAD).
git diff --staged
git diff -- file.a file.b
git checkout -- FileName
to recover a modified/deleted file where -- is a linux notation, not specific to git. See Difference between "git checkout <filename>" and "git checkout -- <filename>".
rm FileName git pull # do nothing git status # still miss 'FileName' git checkout FileName
The following examples give a good clarification.
git checkout README # would normally discard uncommitted changes # to the _file_ "README" git checkout master # would normally switch the working copy to # the _branch_ "master" git checkout -- master # discard uncommitted changes to the _file_ "master"
git reset HEAD FileName
to un-stage a file
Rewrite a commit
ps. This is different from the case of Pull and overwrite local files
Suppose someone made a stupid commit. We want to get a previous version of the code and commit that one.
git checkout XXXXXX -- FileName git commit -am CommitMessage
origin and nickname
git remote add NickName https://XXX git remote git push -u NickName master
git merge
https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/using-branches/git-merge
See an example of merging a temporary branch with the master branch in the local repository.
This is another example. It teaches how to make sure my master branch is in synch with the central repository on github (which I refer to using the remote “origin”) before I merge my changes into master.
Resolving merge conflict from lynda.com
Merge a local branch to the local master
git checkout master git merge newBranch
Merge a remote branch to the local master
git checkout master git fetch git merge origin/master
Merge conflict 1
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master'
Merge conflict 2
Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged
Manual merge and auto merge
If a file looks like
line1 line2 line3 line4
(Manual merge) Then suppose machine 1 modifies line3 and push to the remote. Machine 2 at the same time modifies line4 and tries to run git fetch & git merge from the remote. Then machine 2 will need to do merge manually (git mergetool) because line 3 and line 4 are next to each other. After fixing the conflict by git mergetool, we can run git commit & git push. A temporary file called FILENAME.orig will be created.
(Auto merge) On the other hand, if machine modifies line 2 and push to the remote. Machine 2 at the same time modifies line 4 and tries to run git fetch & git merge to the remote. Then auto merge will be done because line 2 and line 4 are separated. Machine 2 only needs to provide the commit message.
Whether there are conflicts or not, the practice is to run
- git fetch
- git diff master origin/master (- part is from master, + part is from origin/master)
- git merge origin/master (possibly need to run nano FILENAME + git add + git commit or run git mergetool + git commit if there is a conflict, OR a text editor will be opened to let you enter the commit message if there is no any conflict). Use git config --global core.editor nano to set the default text editor if this was not done yet; see Git configuration.
- git push.
Note that
- If we are using git pull instead of git fetch + git merge, we will be directed to the nano editor to enter a commit message if there are no conflicts; however, if we use git fetch, we will NOT be directed to nano editor).
- If we directly run git push (even on non-conflict file) without running git pull, we will be welcome with the message
brb@brb-P45T-A:~/github/toy$ git add . brb@brb-P45T-A:~/github/toy$ git commit -m "add a line from p45t-a" [master 3b69283] add a line from p45t-a 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) brb@brb-P45T-A:~/github/toy$ git push To https://[email protected]/arraytools/toy.git ! [rejected] master -> master (fetch first) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://[email protected]/arraytools/toy.git' hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details. brb@brb-P45T-A:~/github/toy$ git status On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working directory clean
This goes back to the same problem mentioned above in Merge conflict 2.
Summary:
- When we run git pull, if there is a conflict and that conflict can be resolved automatically, we will be directed to the text editor to enter the commit message.
- When we run git fetch, we will NOT be directed to the text editor regardless of conflicts. We need to enter the commit message when we run git merge origin/master. Also gitk will NOT show origin/master on graph BEFORE we run git merge origin/master for some reason.
Take home message:
- Before going to run git merge, run git checkout master first.
- Instead of running git pull, we'd better run git fetch & git merge origin/master if the bash code was run in a background.
See also http://www.gitguys.com/topics/merging-branches-without-a-conflict/
git stash
When you have uncommitted changes and want to switch to a specific commit using git checkout <commit_id>. Stashing allows you to save your uncommitted changes temporarily. It’s like putting them in a drawer so you can work on something else.
git status # there maybe some modified but not committed files git stash # save your changes in a “stash” without committing them. git checkout -b <new-branch> <commit-id> # it'll switch to <new-branch> git branch git checkout main git stash apply
To remove a local branch (a branch on your local machine), use the following command: git branch -d local_branch_name.
If the local branch contains unmerged changes or unpushed commits, use -D instead of -d to force deletion: git branch -D local_branch_name .
Practices/collaboration workflow
Collaboration workflow example from lynda.com
Create a branch from the current HEAD for experiment
Suppose we want to experiment on a new plan, we can create a new branch ('newbranch') in our local repository, merge newbranch to master and push to the remote.
git checkout master git fetch git merge origin/master git branch newbranch # step 1 create a new branch called 'newbranch' git checkout newbranch # step 2 switch to the 'newbranch' branch # We can combine steps 1 & 2 by 'git checkout -b newbranch' nano FILENAME # step 3 modify some files, create new files, ... git add FILENAME git commit # step 4 commit changes to newbranch git checkout master # step 5 check out the master branch git branch -a # (optional) verify we are on the master branch git fetch # double check nothing has been committed to the remote git merge newbranch # step 6 merge newbranch to master git push -u origin master # step 7 push (local) master to remote/master
Another scenario is we push our local newbranch to the remote newbranch. Then we can skip steps 5 & 6 and do git push -u origin newbranch in step 7.
Question: If we have multiple remotes, how do we know if the local master is the same as the origin/master or origin2/master? Answer: git diff.
Get an old commit and merge some of its code to the current code
$ git checkout -b testBranch SHA1 (NB. if we want to checkout an old commit, always create a branch) $ nano someFile $ git checkout master # OR "git checkout -" $ git merge testBranch $ (optional) git branch -d testBranch
Or without using "git merge"
$ git checkout -b testBranch SHA1 (NB. if we want to checkout an old commit, always create a branch) $ cp someFile /tmp/ $ git checkout master # OR "git checkout -" $ meld /tmp/someFile someFile $ git commit $ (optional) git branch -d testBranch
git rebase
https://lostechies.com/joshuaflanagan/2010/09/03/use-gitk-to-understand-git-merge-and-rebase/
The simple git merge method can make the history very complicated; see and the following cons.
- Branching paths in the history can be unnecessarily complicated
- The extra merge commit.
- Your branch is now no longer a private, local concern. Everyone now knows that you worked in an issue123 branch. Why should they care?
git rebase can be used to avoid these issues.
The good approach (as in that example) is
git checkout issue123 git rebase master git checkout master git merge issue123 git branch -d issue123 git push origin master

Tagging a release
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging
$ git tag # or add "--list" or add "-l" $ git tag -l "v2*" # add a filtering list tags starting with "v2" $ git tag -l -n # list tags with annotations # Create annotated tags $ git tag -a v1.4 -m "my version 1.4" $ git tag v1.4 $ git show v1.4 $ git diff v1.0..v1.1 # Tagging Later $ git log --pretty=online $ git tag -a v1.2 9fceb02 # Delete a tag $ git tag -d v1.1
By default, the git push command does not transfer tags to remote servers. You have to explicitly push tags to a shared server after you have created them.
$ git push origin v1.5 $ git push origin --tags # push up all tags at once # Delete remote tags like remote branches $ git push origin :v1.1 # OR $ git push -d origin v1.1
Check out tags just like any sha, but it has a profound effect if we later commit something (Detached HEAD state).
$ git checkout -b newBranch v1.1 $ git checkout v1.1

setting up SSH access on the server side
Follow the instruction on git-scm.com. It works.
I tested it by
- create a git account (called 'git') on my host machine.
- sudo to create a directory called /opt/git/project.git. Change the owner to 'git'. Cd to the directory and initialize it.
- Create two virtual machines (vb1 and vb2). Creating a username 'david' on vb1 and a user name 'joseph' on vb2.
- Create ssh key for both 'david' and 'joseph'. Ssh to copy their ssh keys to git account.
- Create a new directory on vb1 and initialize it. Run git commands to commit & push files to the server (no password is needed). Note that when we use 'git commit', git will ask to create a username and email by first running 'git config' command.
- Switch to vb2 and run git clone (no password is needed). The user can modify the code and commit & push files to the server.
- Run 'git log' to check if each user's name/email are shown on the log.
Some important points:
- There is no daemon to be installed. We only need to install the 'git' program on the server.
- When a client uses the 'git' command to communicate with the server, it is actually using the 'ssh' to access the server.
- We still need to create a user for this git server. Then the developers' rsa keys can be saved to the git user's <.ssh/authorized_keys> file.
- The instruction asks to chmod 700 (rwx------) for the .ssh directory and chmod 600 (-rw------) for the <.ssh/authorized_keys> file.
- If the git repository directory is not saved under the user's directory, we need to make sure the owner of the directory is the git user.
Create a git server
- How to Set Up a Private Git Server
- HOWTO setup a private git server on Ubuntu 18.04 (including to set the git user’s shell to the git-shell)
- Install git and git-shell
- Setup a dedicated (non-sudo) git user
- Create individual repo directories
- Use your private git repo
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install git $ sudo nano /etc/shells # ADD /usr/bin/git-shell
$ sudo adduser --disabled-password git $ sudo su git $ cd $ mkdir ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh $ touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys $ nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys # add the public keys of any users # you want to access your private git server $ sudo chsh git -s $(which git-shell)
$ cd /home/git $ sudo mkdir ios-backup-extractor.git $ cd ios-backup-extractor.git && sudo git init --bare && cd .. $ sudo chown -R git.git ios-backup-extractor.git/
$ git clone git@<IPADDRESS>:<repo-name> ~/git/ $ git remote add origin git@<IPADDRESS>:<repo-name>.git
Create a git server (github like w/ web interface)
If we like to create a github-like web interface, check out GitLab. See
- How to Install Gitlab on Debian 8 (Jessie),
- How to Run Your Own Git Server. This includes the installation of postfix for sending emails.
Below is my note
- https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/ contains steps of setting up Gitlab.
- By default, the domain name you have entered in setting up gitlab will be the URL you will use to access gitlab.
- Use the recommended method to install gitlab. Nginx will be installed as an http server.
- The root username and password is root and 5iveL!fe.
- When new users are created by root, we can put a faked email there (eg [email protected]). The root account can create password for the user.
- User's password is used to access GitLab web interface only. It is not used for pushing commits.
- After a new user is created, log out of root account and log in using the new user account. Click 'Profile setting' icon and then select SSH > Add SSH key. Copy your <id_rsa.pub> content there. To create your ssh key, use the command line "ssh-keygen -t rsa". The <id_rsa.pub> is located under ~/.ssh directory. The title should be auto populated. If ssh key is added successfully to gitLab, we won't get a pop-up asking password when we run 'git push'.
- A new project should be created by users (not root). If I create a project by root, I keep getting a permission issue when I run 'git push'.
- The username will affect path to all personal projects; e.g. [email protected]:newuser/test2.git.

gitk and git-gui
- http://lostechies.com/joshuaflanagan/2010/09/03/use-gitk-to-understand-git/
- http://git-scm.com/download/gui/linux
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gitk git clone [email protected]:joshuaflanagan/gitk-demo.git cd gitk-demo gitk --all # show all refs (branches, tags, etc.)
What I find is gitk will take a little time to rebuild something because after I run git pull, it will show several files (if not all) are uncommitted.
Gitk worked with git-gui program (sudo apt-get install git-gui) which is a gui program to run rescan/stage/commit/push. You launch git-gui from gitk-File-Start git-gui.
It looks these 2 gui tools are sufficient enough.

Git Tips
Permission denied (publickey)
The error happens on either github or bitbucket.
Some resources:
- Authenticating to GitHub
- Permission denied (publickey)
- Simple solution: add the ssh key in ~/.ssh/config file. There is no need to use ssh-add command. Tested on github.com and bitbucket.org. See
old mode new mode
See this post
git config core.filemode false
Temporarily move to a branch and then move back
# suppose we have 3 commits so far and we are at commit 3 now. git status git log # show 3 commits git checkout sha1_commit_1 # move to commit 1 git log # only show 1 commit git checkout master # go back to the original 3 commits git status
git push error (file is created by Windows but edited by Linux), Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master'
Suppose there are two users A & B (that me). A modified something, commits and pushes to the remote. I modified the same file, commit (so far OK since the actions are all local) and try to push to the remote.
If I forget to run git pull and after running git push, we will get something like if there is a conflict.
C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master]> git push To https://github.com/arraytools/toy.git ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/arraytools/toy.git' hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart.

Follow the suggestion from this post to use git pull for git to do merge. It does not work in this case.

The README.md file was created on Windows/DOS. For some reason, it is recognized as binary files by git. If I look at the file on Linux, it shows the file is ASCII text but with CR line terminators.
$ file README.md README.md: ASCII text, with CR line terminators.
Since we already run git pull, it won't work to run git reset --soft HEAD~ to undo a commit. Two solutions
- git fetch origin; git reset --hard origin/master to throw away my local modified file OR
- git reset --hard HEAD to undo git pull; see this post. After that, we can run git reset --soft HEAD~ to undo a commit. See below.
C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master +0 ~0 -0 !1 | +0 ~0 -0 !1]> git reset --hard HEAD HEAD is now at cd2d105 commit from Windows C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master]> git status # On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. # nothing to commit, working directory clean C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master]> git reset --soft HEAD~ C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master +0 ~1 -0]> git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: README.md C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master +0 ~1 -0]> cat README.md # toy second commit 3rd commit (Windows MACHINE) C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master +0 ~1 -0]> git reset HEAD README.md Unstaged changes after reset: M README.md C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master +0 ~1 -0]> git status # On branch master # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: README.md # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master +0 ~1 -0]> git checkout -- README.md C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master]> cat README.md # toy second commit C:\Users\XXX\Documents\GitHub\toy [master]> git status # On branch master nothing to commit, working directory clean
Now the README.md file is the original one. If we want, we can make a copy of the modified file before unmodifying a modified file (git checkout -- Filename).
Summary
- (undo git pull) git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master # OR git reset --hard HEAD
- (undo commit) git reset --soft HEAD~
- (undo stage) git reset HEAD Filename
- (undo change) git checkout -- Filename
git push error (both clients are linux), Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged
Two clients (mint and vm) running on Linux. The following is coming from vm machine.

master branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, how to 'undiverge' branches'?
The solution now is to run git mergetool (assume we have install something like meld, opendiff, kdiff3, tkdiff, or xxdiff). See Git Mergetool – Merging With a GUI from gitguys.com.
After we edit the file in the middle of meld, we save it and quit meld. Go back to the terminal. Strangely, git knows the conflict has been resolved (shown from git status).

The repository now looks like:
warning: push.default is unset
Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message ...
See stackoverflow.
It only affects what happens when you don't specify which branches you want to push; e.g. 'git push' or 'git push origin' instead of 'git push -u origin master'.
$ git push bitbucket warning: push.default is unset; its implicit value is changing in Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message and maintain the current behavior after the default changes, use: git config --global push.default matching To squelch this message and adopt the new behavior now, use: git config --global push.default simple When push.default is set to 'matching', git will push local branches to the remote branches that already exist with the same name. In Git 2.0, Git will default to the more conservative 'simple' behavior, which only pushes the current branch to the corresponding remote branch that 'git pull' uses to update the current branch. See 'git help config' and search for 'push.default' for further information. (the 'simple' mode was introduced in Git 1.7.11. Use the similar mode 'current' instead of 'simple' if you sometimes use older versions of Git)
I guess 'simple' (the default) is what we/beginners usually want. Run
git config --global push.default simple
Search/find a deleted file from the commit history
For example, the noweb/code.pdf file was mentioned in the Readme file but it is missing from the CRAN's survival package.
$ git log --all --full-history -- noweb/code.pdf commit 1f0dbc538e9147ab264c5215cf205b9b3bc171cb Author: Terry M Therneau <[email protected]> Date: Sun Jun 26 14:19:51 2016 +0000 version 2.39-5 commit ec6b50c973b9298a5f1aeb839b2d04d3448e69de Author: Terry M Therneau <[email protected]> Date: Wed May 11 11:45:26 2016 +0000 version 2.39-4 commit 38a8ccc0fb014c2b2bfbb2b5153b419e615b01ba Author: Terry M Therneau <[email protected]> Date: Sat Apr 16 19:26:46 2016 +0000 version 2.39-2
Here we see code.pdf file existed in version 2.39-2 and was last seen in version 2.39-5.
To restore the deleted, we use
git checkout 38a8ccc -- code.pdf
Note that I follow the instruction to add the caret sign (^) at the end of SHA, I'll get an error pathspec 'code.pdf' did not match any file(s) known to git. My git version is 2.7.4.
However, for another file, I do need to use caret.

Cannot see new files added to my git working directory
Cannot see new files added to my git working directory. It happened when I include a new subdirectory which comes from other people's repository. The solution for my case is to rm .git/index and then run git add/commit/push. Next time I need to remove the .git from that subdirectory first.
Binary files and why is my .git folder so big?
Binary files will be tracked by git too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/git/comments/4xsh26/why_is_my_git_folder_so_big/
git gc --aggressive --prune
It seems there is no way I can remove binary files (history) from .git folder.

- It has a built-in support.
Open a PDF file from raw.githubusercontent.com
- When I open a PDF file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/main/tidyr.pdf, it automatically downloaded the file in the browser.
- Solution: create an HTML file and embed the PDF file in it. Opening PDF in a browser with Github Pages.

Large files (eg binary)
- Disk Quota. Repositories < 1GB and files < 100MB.
- Releases allow you to include binary files, such as compiled programs. See https://help.github.com/articles/distributing-large-binaries/
Create a new repository
After we use the web interface to create a new empty repository, we are instructed to do one of the following
- create a new repository on the command line
echo "# toy" >> README.md git init git add README.md git commit -m "first commit" git remote add origin https://github.com/arraytools/toy.git git push -u origin master
- Compare git remote add (set up remote url) and git remote set-url (switch remote url)
- push an existing repository from the command line
git remote add origin https://github.com/arraytools/toy.git git push -u origin master
- import code from another repository. You can initialize this repository with code from a Subversion, Mercurial, or TFS project.
Archive a repository
Host web site: pages and wiki
- https://pages.github.com/. Create a new repository "username.github.io". Fill out some files there. Go to https://username.github.io to see the result.
- How to put an HTML website online (on the Internet) - 2022 (video)
- Updating gh-pages (assuming your vignette file is named 'index.Rmd'). See a note.

- Easy Markdown to Github Pages. The key is go to Settings and pay attention to Github Pages.
- Create a new repository with a README
- Go to Settings - Github Pages. Source = main branch. Theme = Caymen or Architect. It will modify README file. Feel free to do any changes. Then click 'Commit Changes'.
- See my example at https://arraytools.github.io/test-site-Architect
- It does not work by just creating _config.yml file along with README.md without using 'Settings'. You have to change the setting.
- For the free plan, the repository has to be public in order to use Github Pages.
