git-checkout

My git repo got corrupted while running a find and replace command (See here: Git reset failing after find and replace ). So I deleted some pack files about which git told me that there were not reachable. So I ran rm ./.git/index, git reset. When running git commit, I got this message : fatal: corrupt tree sha $someSHA Finally git fsck, my working directory went clean and I was able to commit. The pb now is that when I run git checkout some_other_branch, I got this message fatal: unable to read tree $someSHA (The $someSHA appearing are the same). Someone could help me ? Edit 1 : when I run

In git I am familiar with how to checkout individual files that have been deleted using the git checkout -- [<paths>...] syntax (which is recommended when you do git status . To get all the files you could create a list and give the list as the argument to the above command. However when you just want all the files that have been deleted (i.e. rm -rf in your cwd and then you want to restore all files) generating that list is inelegant. How do you checkout all deleted files? Generating the list is not that hard: git diff --no-renames --name-only --diff-filter=D To make it suitable for git

I'm on a branch with some changes. Changing branch is a pain as some files are locked by processes, so to change branch I'd have to stop all the processes which have locks, then stash the changes before checking out the other branch to see its log. Is it possible to view the log for a different branch, without having to check it out? TL; DR Use git log <branch> where <branch> is the name of the branch of interest. From the git-log man-page... A simplified version of the git-log synopsis given in that command's man page is git log [<revision range>] Further down, you can find the following

I have in my git repo, a file named xyz. Coincidently, I also have a branch named xyz. Presently I am on master, but I want to checkout to branch xyz. The command to be used is simple $ git checkout xyz But this would checkout the file xyz to the present HEAD. How would I change my branch to branch xyz ? As illustrated by commit a047faf (git 1.8.4.3+), you can also try: git checkout xyz -- (Note: the error message will be clearer with Git 2.21, Q1 2019 ) That would make clear that the xyz part is a branch or commit, while everything after -- must be a path (here no path is provided).

This is not a general question about what '--' does, as in the marked duplicate. This is a git-specific question asking for clarity on what the operational differences are between the mentioned commands. If I want to clean out my current directory without stashing or committing, I usually use these commands: git reset HEAD --hard git clean -fd A co-worker also mentioned using this command: git checkout -- . It's a difficult command to google, and it's not clear to me from the git documentation what this command actually does. It seems to be one of the later-mentioned usages in the manual. At a

I am a new user of Git. I have forked a repository called Spoon-Knife (available for practicing forking with Git). Then, I cloned it locally by running git clone https://github.com/rohinichoudhary/Spoon-Knife.git This repository contains three branches, i.e. master , test-branch , change-the-title . When I run git branch , it only shows *master , not the remaining two branches. And when I run git checkout test-branch I get the following error: error: pathspec 'test-branch' did not match any file(s) known to git. Why is this happening? How can I solve this problem? jub0bs When I run git branch

Hi I need to merge two branches like this. This is just an example what is happening, I work with hundreds of files which need resolution. git merge branch1 ...conflicts... git status .... # Unmerged paths: # (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark resolution) # # both added: file1 # both added: file2 # both added: file3 # both added: file4 git checkout --ours file1 git chechout --theirs file2 git checkout --ours file3 git chechout --theirs file4 git commit -a -m "this should work" U file1 fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files. Please, fix them up in the
