Pushing only one folder to remote repo

Question

I\'m using Git 1.7.4.1. I want to push commits I did on one folder to my remote repo. How do I push only changes from one folder to my remote repo? All the documentation

Answer 1

Git is not like subversion. The short answer is, you can't.

You should consider rebasing your change (only the one relevant) against the remote

git rebase -i origin/trunk

should get you underway. Be sure to read the comments and instructions along the way. There is also man git-rebase of course.

In the end, when you are satisfied with the result, you can either create a new branch from there

 git checkout -b rebased HEAD

or you can opt to make it your new master. I'll leave it up to you how to manage your branches locally (because you didn't tell us about them).

Pushing woud then be easy with

 git push origin trunk
