Using TortoiseGit (I'm trying to avoid command line usage) how does one delete all commits that accended from a certain commit, and "get back in the past" (example usage: continued doing something, figured I didn't like where it was going, and decided to go "back" disregarding all in between).
I have been experimenting with using Mercurial and TortoiseHG to track my work when I am working remotely (with a slow VPN I don't want to commit to SVN unless I have something that works).
I have found TortoiseHG a bit hard to use - or at least it often doesn't work the way I expect it to, so I am considering switching to GIT and TortoiseGIT.
(For…
This is a little hard to explain with text, but I'll do my best, and you try to keep up; if something isn't clear at first, don't hesitate to ask, and I'll try to clarify.
When TortoiseGit has one branch it looks approximately like this:
o
|
o <-- a commit sign
|
x
When I split my work into a new branch, it looks like this:
o
|
o--o
|
x

I have two branches with several commits each. On one branch, I can go to the log, select two commits, and TortoiseGit shows "combine to one commit" in the context menu. On the other branch this option does not show in the context menu. Both sequence of commits is very similar; add file then modify it, so there is no difference really between the…
I've been using TortoiseSVN on Windows for years with local filesystem repositories for my own projects. I'm planning to start collaborating with a friend on one of the projects, and will be shifting the repository to my own website. I've read a lot of "git beats SVN!" posts over the last couple years, and figured I ought to at least see what…
I've been using svn thru tortoise and svn:// protocol on windows for a couple of years and I'm pretty comfortable with it.
Nevertheless tThere are a couple of features I'd like to hove, mainly shelves (something like local commits) and easier branch / merge support.
From my experience, svn / tortoise on windows is rock solid stuff.

Is there a way which could let me know all the file status by just looking at the folder view, like what TortoiseHg, TortoiseSVN, TortoiseGit did on windows?
Now my git repo folder looks the same as other folders. If I want to view file status I have to type git status in the command line. I want some icons which could…
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my local Git repo.
I edit a file.
Git reports everything has changed in the file (I only changed one line)
At first I think "must be a newline problem", but it's not. I do a diff in TortoiseGit, everything looks fine. I do a diff with Netbeans (git plugin), everything…
I'm new to Git, so I suspect that I'm misunderstanding something here, but I'll ask anyway.
Via TortoiseGit I do the following:
Init a new Git repo locally
Add a readme file to it and commit
Add a new remote
Push the new repo to the orgin (remote)
If I then Browse Refs I see the following:

Anyone install both? Using each for separate projects obviously. Shouldn't be a problem, I'm guessing, but hoping to fish out any gotchas. Furthermore, anyone use Tortoise Git, Subversion and Mercurial on the same machine?
Hi all!
I am very new to Git and I have a slight problem.
In SVN [this feels like an Only Fools and Horses story by uncle Albert.."during the war..."] when I wanted to update a production site with my latest changes, I'd do a diff in TSVN and export all the changed/added files between two revisions. As…

What is the best process for code review when using GIT?
Current process:

Hi. Is there a git gui app (for commiting) that shows detected renames?
Git-gui currently shows me a lot of deleted and new files instead of renames.
TortoiseGit does not work at all on my system. Intellij's Git somehow does not detect any modifications to commit. TIA.
