git-commit

What's the difference between: git add . git commit -a Should I be doing both, or is that redundant? git commit -a means almost[*] the same thing as git add -u && git commit . It's not the same as git add . as this would add untracked files that aren't being ignored, git add -u only stages changes (including deletions) to already tracked files. [*] There's a subtle difference if you're not at the root directory of your repository. git add -u stages updates to files in the current directory and below, it's equivalent to git add -u . whereas git commit -a stages and commits changes to all

I'm using visual studio 2013, and I'm faced with 3 options for when I commit my C# code. I need a necessary explanation of the differences between each of the options regarding what happens to my local repo vs. the GitHub repo. Option 1 says Commit Option 2 says Commit and Push Option 3 says Commit and Sync I don't quite understand the difference between the last 2 options. When should I use Commit and Sync as opposed to Commit and Push? Commit will simply make record of your changes that you have made on your local machine. It will not mark the change in the remote repository. Commit and Push

Using WinXP I accidentally typed git commit -a instead of git commit -am "My commit message" , and now I'm viewing my CMD prompt filled with the file version of my commit message ("Please enter the commit message for your..."). I've added my message to the top, but now I can't figure out how to save and leave. I tried to press CTRL + W + Q , but it doesn't do anything but add ^ where the cursor is. I also tried esc first, and then CTRL + W + Q , but it says No write since last change (add ! to override) . nunopolonia Press ESC to make sure you are out of the edit mode and then type: :wq eckes

How can I undo every change made to my directory after the last commit, including deleting added files, resetting modified files, and adding back deleted files? First reset the changes git reset HEAD --hard then clean out everything untracked.

I sent a commit (named "A commit") to review (Gerrit) using git review command. Now, I make a new commit (named "B commit") and I want to send it to review as well, but I don't want to re-send the "A commit". There is no dependencies each other. How to send a review to gerrit for a specific commit?. UPDATE : $ git add --all $ git status # On branch delete_role # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: path/to/file.ext $ git status # On branch delete_role nothing to commit (working directory clean) $ git branch *delete_role master $ git log --graph -

I just migrated a project from Mercurial to Git. Mercurial adds empty commits when you add tags, so I ended up with empty commits in Git that I would like to remove. How do I remove empty commits (commits that do not have any files in them) from Git? Thanks. 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 deal if this is your initial import from hg to

I am quite new to git, and I had been working on a small side project for the last 2 months and had been pushing stuff onto bitbucket with no problems. A couple of days ago, I zipped my project folder (since I had to reinstall my Linux OS) and now unzipped this after my reinstallation of Linux OS. So, now, I went to my project folder, kept happily working and finally did: git add -A && git commit -m "modified code" && git push origin master ..which is what I usually do.. and I get: To https://johnsproject@bitbucket.org/johnsproject/proj.git ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
