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....
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 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...
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 Error:- expected committer email '' but found '[email protected]'
git,commit,git-commit,git-config
This doesn't seem like a git limitation, but should be some kind of pre-receive hook on the remote side (the Git repository hosting service/server to which you are pushing to) That hook seems to parse the commits and check the committer email against a specific criteria which rejects [email protected] You...
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.

That's fine if you just want to examine the files and not make changes, when...
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...
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"...

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...

What happens to the git index when I 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...

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,...
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...
Can git ever send your code to a repo that isn't yours?
git,github,git-commit,git-add,git-init
Doing a git commit locally won't result in your code being sent to any repo, let alone a repo which is not yours. When you do a git commit, Git will add some local objects corresponding to the changes you have made in the current working branch. In order for...
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...

Git wrong commit time stamp
git,github,timestamp,git-commit
You can change the timestamp of an old commit (I have a script for that) but that would also change the history of the repo, forcing you to use a git push --force. Make sure all other collaborators are aware of that change. Why there is no check from remote...
Git remove specific files from all previous commits

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...

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...
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.
