git: Switch branch and ignore any changes without committing

落花浮王杯 提交于 2019-11-26 07:50:37
问题 I was working on a git branch and was ready to commit my changes, so I made a commit with a useful commit message. I then absentmindedly made minor changes to the code that are not worth keeping. I now want to change branches, but git gives me, error: You have local changes to \"X\"; cannot switch branches. I thought that I could change branches without committing. If so, how can I set this up? If not, how do I get out of this problem? I want to ignore the minor changes without committing and

Git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches

送分小仙女□ 提交于 2019-11-26 06:50:24
问题 My problem is related to Fatal Git error when switching branch. I try to fetch a remote branch with the command git checkout -b local-name origin/remote-name but I get this error message: fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches. Did you intend to checkout \'origin/remote-name\' which can not be resolved as commit? If I manually create a branch and then pull the remote branch, it works, just as making a new clone and checking the branch out. Why does it not

How to checkout in Git by date?

泪湿孤枕 提交于 2019-11-26 03:36:52
问题 I am working on a regression in the source code. I\'d like to tell Git: \"checkout the source based on a parameterized date/time\". Is this possible? I also have staged changes in my current view that I don\'t want to lose. Ideally, I would like to toggle back and forth between the current source, and some version I\'m interested in based on a previous date. 回答1: To keep your current changes You can keep your work stashed away, without commiting it, with git stash . You would than use git

Find and restore a deleted file in a Git repository

柔情痞子 提交于 2019-11-26 03:13:36
问题 Say I\'m in a Git repository. I delete a file and commit that change. I continue working and make some more commits. Then, I find I need to restore that file. I know I can checkout a file using git checkout HEAD^ foo.bar , but I don\'t really know when that file was deleted. What would be the quickest way to find the commit that deleted a given filename? What would be the easiest way to get that file back into my working copy? I\'m hoping I don\'t have to manually browse my logs, checkout the

痞子三分冷 提交于 2019-11-26 02:39:04
问题 I have a project in which I ran git init . After several commits, I did git status which told me everything was up to date and there were no local changes. Then I made several consecutive changes and realized I wanted to throw everything away and get back to my original state. Will this command do it for me? git reset --hard HEAD 回答1: If you want to revert changes made to your working copy, do this: git checkout . If you want to revert changes made to the index (i.e., that you have added), do

Retrieve a single file from a repository

橙三吉。 提交于 2019-11-26 02:16:17
问题 What is the most efficient mechanism (in respect to data transferred and disk space used) to get the contents of a single file from a remote git repository? So far I\'ve managed to come up with: git clone --no-checkout --depth 1 git@github.com:foo/bar.git && cd bar && git show HEAD:path/to/file.txt This still seems overkill. What about getting multiple files from the repo? 回答1: in git version 1.7.9.5 this seems to work to export a single file from a remote git archive --remote=ssh://host

Rollback to an old Git commit in a public repo

僤鯓⒐⒋嵵緔 提交于 2019-11-26 01:55:09
问题 How can I go about rolling back to a specific commit in git? The best answer someone could give me was to use git revert X times until I reach the desired commit. So let\'s say I want to revert back to a commit that\'s 20 commits old, I\'d have to run it 20 times. Is there an easier way to do this? I can\'t use reset because this repository is public. 回答1: Try this: git checkout [revision] . where [revision] is the commit hash (for example: 12345678901234567890123456789012345678ab ). Don't
