Visual Studio 2015 Preview - Can't commit with Git
git,git-commit,visual-studio-2015
I had the same exception. I saw that VS2015 was creating a new folder next to the solution file with a name like: <solutionname>.sln.ide. I have no idea what this folder is good for but you should find the mentioned file that is locked by another process there. Because I...
How to merge a git branch that results in only a single commit (like using --squash), but allowing future merges without conflicts?
git,git-merge,git-commit,git-conflict-resolution
echo $(git rev-parse $result $result^ $merged) > .git/info/grafts git merge topic where $result is the commit produced by the squash merge and $merged is the commit you merged from (i.e. given git checkout master; git merge topic, $result is master after the merge, and $merged is topic after the merge)....

git,github,git-push,git-commit,git-reset
You can use git reflog to solve your problem: git reflog a8U3Ild... [email protected]{10}: commit 3 e3Noj1q... [email protected]{11}: commit 4 Find the SHA-1 hashes of the commits which you deleted. The commit you want is the one for "commit 4" which was the head of the branch before you rolled things...
GIT: remove commit halfway down in log but keep all overs

Merge code without creating a new commit id in git
When doing a fast-forward merge (which is the default, if that is possible), git won't create a commit. You can explicitely enforce that behaviour by using --ff-only: #in another_branch git pull --ff-only remote some_other_repo_branch Of course, this can only work iff there are no conflicts -- otherwise, git cannot fast-forward,...
git: What is the “right way” to fix an incorrect pushed commit message
One thing you can do is to add a note to the commit, e.g. git notes add -m "Here is my note" head~1. This will then show up in the git log without actually changing the commit. Another alternative is to add an annotated tagto the commit, e.g. git tag...

How can I change the displayed commit message on Github?
It should be a simple refresh or cache issue, because if that file is part of the new commit you just forced push, it will pick up the updated commit message. In the OP's case, it seems that GitHub main repo page incorrectly refect its first push, while the list...
delete or change commits after pushing to github
git,github,git-push,git-commit
You can do this in a number of ways. The first is the way "Lajos" mentioned - squash the commits into one. This has an impact on the version history, and rewriting public version histories is (as everyone else has pointed out) a bad thing. It can cause all kinds...

git,github,commit,git-push,git-commit

Remove empty commits in “git”
git,version-control,git-commit
One simple (but slow) way to do this is with git filter-branch and --prune-empty. With no other filters, no other commits will be altered, but any empty ones will be discarded (which will cause all subsequent commits to have new parent-IDs and is therefore still "rewrites history": not a big...
How does Git retrieve all files from a branch?
git,git-branch,git-merge,git-commit
Git is different from most other version control systems (VCS). Most VCS-es store "deltas" of various forms. For instance, if the tip-most commit in the entire repository is C9 as identified by master and you extract that, you might get all the files in the repository as is, while if...
git remove a file that no longer exists on the system
You need to remove it from the index before the commit: git rm --cached FOLDER_NAME Since you have it already removed from the file system, the folder should have disappeared now. If you have added the folder in the most recent commit then you can simply issue: git commit --amend...
Fix All Commit Messages in Git
Using filter-branch git filter-branch --msg-filter fix-imported-msg.sh HEAD (you need to write your own fix-imported-msg.sh script to take the original message on stdin, and write the corrected version to stdout).

How do I see a commit's path through git history, or “how it got in the current branch”?

For the latter part of your question, "how it got in the current branch?", take a look at git-when-merged. It's a Python script that will, per its readme: Find when a commit was merged into one or more branches. Find the merge commit that brought COMMIT into the specified BRANCH(es)....
Git: pre-receive hook to allow only merges and not direct commits into master
git,git-merge,githooks,git-commit
What you get in a pre-receive hook is the previous and the new tip of the branch, so you're going to have to check the list of commits that got added, and see if any of them are not merges: nonmerges=$(git rev-list --no-merges --first-parent $oldrefid..$newrefid | wc -l) [ "$nonmerges"...

Can't push a commit of Git repo with a submodule
git,github,git-submodules,git-commit
Ok, being relatively new to Git, I missed that the push command should NOT have included --recurse-submodules for my purposes. I believe I got the message I did because it thought I wanted to also push a commit to the submodule, for which there was no branch.

Git wrong commit time stamp
git,github,timestamp,git-commit

If git commit messages written in the imperative, how do I clarify what hasn't yet been done? 'Don't add hashing' or 'Didn't/Doesn't add hashing'?
One good article on commit message is How to Write a Git Commit Message. Its rule n° 5 indeed recommends using imperative mood. The imperative can sound a little rude; that's why we don't often use it. But it's perfect for git commit subject lines. One reason for this is...
How to generate Git commit e-mails using built-in mechanisms?
There are no arguments to post-commit, but it does not need any since the (single) commit that was made, was made wherever HEAD points now that the commit is done. Read HEAD: if it's a symbolic ref for a branch, there was one commit made to that branch; if it's...
In GIT, obtain commits using git log with path
Git assumes that the current working directory is inside the repository you want to operate on. When running a git command from outside the repository directory hierarchy, you can use the global -C option to git to specify which repository to use: git -C /home/my_folder/git/repo log --no-merges -10 -p Usually...
How to replay a commit onto a branch that already contains the commit?
git cherry-pick A can do that. See http://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick Given one or more existing commits, apply the change each one introduces, recording a new commit for each.

Why am I getting “Commit failed with error: pathspec … did not match any file(s)”?
This is the error you get when you attempt to run git commit <file> but <file> hasn't been staged yet; in other words, Git hasn't been told about it, yet. This is most likely what's happening here. Run git add application/libraries/Funder.php then try to commit....
What happens to the git index when I commit?

With GIT show commits older than a specific date with specific format
You need to use --until instead of --after and furthermore, the correct date format, but you can use date to convert it: git log --no-merges --format=format:%cd -10 --until "$(date -d "$(echo "201506301524" | sed 's/....$/ &/')")" $(echo "201506301524" | sed 's/....$/ &/') converts the date to 20150630 1524 which is...

How to go back to the status of a commit of a repository in git?
Exactly what you suggested, with the commit ID git checkout e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290 That creates a "detached head" meaning you have checked out the files but are not on a branch, so can't commit changes to it.

GIT Error:- expected committer email '' but found '[email protected]'
