git-checkout

Using groovy syntax in Jenkins pipeline, below is the syntax used for check out: git branch: branchName, credentialsId: credential, url: "${gitLabServer}/${projectName}/${repo}.git" Where credential is jenkins credential( 111111-222222-33333-44444 ) shown below: jenkins does the following under the hood, for groovy syntax(above): Cloning the remote Git repository Cloning repository ssh://git@10.xx.xx.xx:2222/abc/def.git > git init /app/jenkins/workspace/../def # timeout=10 Fetching upstream changes from ssh://git@10.xx.xx.xx:2222/abc/def.git > git --version # timeout=10 using GIT_SSH to set

Recently, while working in a git repository, I wanted to view the code at an old commit ( 68cce45 ), so I did git checkout 68cce45 After viewing the changes, I wanted to return to the current version of the repository and keep working. Since 2bcfd11 was the most recent commit, I did git checkout 2bcfd11 I then made some changes and did git add * and then git status which gave me the warning: HEAD detached at 2bcfd11 . I'm confused. I can understand why I would be in a "detached HEAD state" if the last commit I checked-out was several versions ago. But since the last commit I checked-out was

Suppose I am on branch master and I start making some changes. I make the changes to a file which is already opened in Emacs (so under the hood, as checkouts happen, Emacs is unaware unless I revert-buffer constantly). The file did exist in branch other_branch which was intended to be merged into master later on. But the file did not exist in master until I accidentally saved it from Emacs. The changes are uncommitted, but I realize that I shouldn't have been making the changes on master and had intended to checkout a different branch before starting on the changes. I don't want to lose the

A week or two ago I took some files that I had been archiving with a simple find |sed|tar|xz|gpg bash script, unpacked them all, and put their contents in a git repo, commited, put the next archives content in the repo, committed (rinse and repeat) in order to have a nicer system. All files were edited with on one of my two computers, both using Arch Linux, in either TeXstudio or Vim. I tried to checkout an old version, but its flipping out---it won't let me due to changed that are outstanding. I tried everything I knew how, and then went on Google to find out things I didn't know. There are a

Is there any script that lets one remember branch/commit seperatly for files in some directory so that one can simultaneously work on file1 on branch1 and file2 on branch2 in the same directory and have them commit appropriately. If not I'll implement it myself. My plan is to have hidden checkout directories for various branches/repos and populating the apparent checkout with links to these files so that commits simply committed their respective hidden branches but advice would be appreciated. Thus one could do something like mgit checkout branch1 filename/filegroup mgit add filename

We want to use Git to deploy code on our webserver. Therefore, we have a initialized a bare repository on our production server. Whenever we release a new version, we perform a git checkout into the DocumentRoot of the website: git --work-tree=/path/to/webroot/ checkout -f master In the subdirectories of webroot , there are several files which are not tracked by Git (Cache files, user-uploaded files etc.). These must of course not be deleted by Git when performing the checkout (and this part works fine so far). However, Git also does not delete files which were previously tracked, but have
