Do you have any advice as how to setup a Dropbox like service using git?
Do you think git is the right tool for this?
I was thinking about using a git + rush solution what do you think about it?
Let's say I have 3 git repositories, each with a lib and tests folder in the root. All 3 repositories are part of what I want to be a single package, however it is important to me to keep the repositories separate.
I am new to git coming from svn, so I have been reading up on submodules and how they differ from svn:externals. In SVN I could have a…
I am writing a graphical git frontend for Linux and Windows
(MSEgit) based on MSEide+MSEgui. MSEgit has an internal console window which communicates with git by pipes. On Linux it uses a PTY so SSH asks for key unlocking passwords on the PTY.
On Windows I wrote a small password entry application and set the SSH_ASKPASS environment variable…
I have a project which have completed the basic models(at master), then I commit them.
Then I create two branchs user and product using:
git checkout -b user
git checkout -b product
git checkout user
Then I add the codes in the user branch, but I found that I have to make some changes for the basic models.
Then I switch to master:
…
How does this actually come about?
I am working in one repo by myself at the moment, so this is my workflow:
1- change files
2- commit
4- repeat until satisfied
4- push to master
Then when I do a git status it tells me that my branch is ahead by X commits (presumably the same number of commits that I have made). Is it because when…
How can I check if I have any uncommitted changes in my git repository:
Changes added to the index but not committed
Untracked files
from a script?
git-status seems to always return zero with git version 1.6.4.2.
I'm trying to do a merge and there's a bunch of conflicts. It's all generated files so what I want to do is basically say "ignore all merge conflicts, and check everything in from my own repo".
I've tried
git checkout . --ours
git add -A
git com -a
It gives me an error though because there are still files in the "unmerged paths"…
My project is six months old and git is very very slow. We track around 30 files which are of size 5 MB to 50 MB. Those are binary files and we keep them in git. I believe those files are making git slow.
Is there a way to kill all files of size 5MB from the repository. I know I would lose all of these files and that is okay with…
Is it possible to ignore deleted files in git? git update-index --assume-unchanged allows me to ignore modifications, but it still tracks deletions.
(This is similar, but I couldn't find where "John Doe" restated his question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/655243/ignore-modified-but-not-committed-files-in-git)
Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out the current installation of git on a slicehost server. Following this guide, one of the early steps is to add a user, git. However, when I do a cat /etc/passwd, I don't see this user name... How do I find where my git user is?
Thanks!
Hi,
I just started using GIT for my versioning and I want to program some tools that work on top of it. Here is my question:
Which information in the .git/config is shared to a remote repo? Is any? Is there a special way to push information to that repo?
The reason I am asking is that I would like to add a "unique stamp" to the…
Is there a git find analogue of git grep, i.e., something that will find a filename by pattern in the tree? I've gone through a lot of git documentation and not found this, but I'm having a hard time believing it doesn't exist somewhere.
How can I check out just a portion of a Git repository? I have a repository that has several modules, and I only want one of the modules installed on a particular site.
In Subversion, I'd do svn export http://example.com/repository/path/to/module ./module-name.
I am trying to clone a repository on my machine that I have just created on GitHub.
I am new to Git, but have been using SVN for a while. I've set up an RSA key as per instructions but am unable to clone with either the SSH or HTTP Urls.
When I use HTTP, I get the following error:
Password: fatal: Out of memory, realloc failed

For some reason my post-received hook never executes. It's a simple two liner diagnostic script: echo "test" && touch /tmp/test. When I do git push origin master nothing happens. Does any-one know what am I doing wrong?
Hi
I am trying to find some help on the FishEye documentation to help me add a private git repository to it. This is all I can get
I can setup a public repository using this method but not able to add a private repository. I believe I need to add some credentials to FishEye for it to be able to access the repo. But where do I…
Hi,
I have created a git repository for the C implementation of a program.
I am about to add a Matlab implementation and I would like to have a single repository with two subdirectories: one for the C and one for matlab.
Of course, I would like to keep the full history too!
What should I do?
at my school we have a student unix server with our accounts.
i have installed git on my account, created a repository, and created the acl permissions on the folder repository so other users can access the repository
# file: tp1
# owner: my_account
# group: groupxxx
user::rwx
user:friend_account:rwx
group::---
mask::rwx…
I trying to execute a post-receive hook on a windows server git(msysgit) installation - to sync the repo to codebasehq.
The script does nothing more than just wget "url" but it doesn't seem to be executing.
I've renamed the "post-receive.sample" to "post-receive" and installed wget to windows path which works fine via the…

Is there a best practice for these kind of problems?
I currently do:
git clone repo

I would like to set a GIT server and let my developers to login using username and password in order to commit and make changes to the projects. I need also to manage developer access to projects (I think I should use gitolite for this).
How can I do that?
I am used to SVN which is easy because you can set username…
