staging

I really don't like the git staging area, it just makes my life unnecessarily confusing. Is it possible to disable it so that all edited and new files are in a single context? So that git diff shows the diff between the repository and my working directory (and I don't have to also type git diff --cached) and so that git ci checks in my whole working copy (not just the part that's staged). If not, alternatives (like setting up cofigurations) so that it appears that I don't have a staging are would be great too. I do not have the option of changing to a different DVCS and I don't want to learn

I have a staging site which I use to draft new features, changes and content to my actual website. I don't want this to get indexed, but I'm hoping for a solution a little easier than having to add the below to every page on my site: <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> Can I do this in a way similar to how I added a password to the domain using a .htaccess file? The robots.txt standard is meant for this. Example User-agent: * Disallow: /protected-directory/ Search engines will obey this, but of course the content will still be published (and probably more easily discoverable if

I've been dipping my toe into web development technologies for fun (ya, i should get out more), and am a little shocked at the lack of clear support for production staging (i.e. development, testing, performance, and production environments). Actually support isn't the word; Content Management Systems seem to actively work against efforts to allow for clean staging. Currently I am using Drupal. I have had a very hard time finding how the community solves this problem. Most of the posts I've seen recommend reproducing the steps done in development on the production system (reading this actually

I'd like to be able to push code to dev.myapp.com for testing and then to www.myapp.com for production use. Is this possible with Heroku? Your interface to Heroku is essentially a Git branch. The Heroku gem does some work through their API, but within your Git repository, it's just a new remote branch. heroku create yourapp # production git br -D heroku # delete the default branch heroku create staging-yourapp # staging git br -D heroku # delete the default branch Once you set up multiple applications on Heroku, you should be able to configure your Git repository like this: git remote add

Situation: I have a Git repository with files already in the index. I make changes to several files, open Git and add these files to my staging area with "git add ." Question: How do I remove one of those files from the staging area but not remove it from the index or undo the changes to the file itself? Tim Henigan If I understand the question correctly, you simply want to "undo" the git add that was done for that file. If you need to remove a single file from the staging area, use git reset HEAD -- <file> If you need to remove a whole directory (folder) from the staging area, use git reset

I have just created a GIT on a folder. I now want to add the contents of that folder by "staging" all the files. In the GUI, is there a way to select all the files. I have well over 4000 files and clicking one at a time is proving to be a bit of a pain. Yes , Select the items (select top one hit shift, select bottom one) and hit CTRL T Or go to commit -> stage to commit Quite late, but one method is to add an option in the 'Tools' menu. Click 'Tools'>Add... Name it whatever you want (I chose 'add all') In the 'Command' field, type git add * Optionally check the boxes to remove a dialog window,
