bitbucket

I'm working on a project based on CakePHP , that's hosted on GitHub . My project is being hosted on Bitbucket . Both of them use git . Basically I'd like to create a ‘fork’ (I don't know if I'm using the right terms, since I'm new to git ) of CakePHP in my Bitbucket repository, in order to be able to get the updates without the need to download all the CakePHP zip/tar and replace the folder, then commit and push, but maybe with a ‘merge’(?). Martin Geisler It's not possible to send "pull request" across different sites today. I've added a feature request for this in the Bitbucket issue tracker

I've created lots of branches in one of our repositories. Those branches are for testing before it will be pulled to the master. Now I see lots of them on the list and they we will never use it again. How to delete those branches directly to Bitbucket? Marcus If the branches are only local, you can use -d if the branch has been merged, like git branch -d branch-name If the branch contains code you never plan on merging, use -D instead. If the branch is in the upstream repo (on Bitbucket) you can remove the remote reference by git push origin :branch-name Also, if you're on the Bitbucket

I made a mistake and I don't know how to delete my latest push in the repository. I pull the latest updates of the app but it has conflicts and I push it to repository. How to delete my last commit? Or how to fix it? asermax In the first place, if you are working with other people on the same code repository, you should not delete a commit since when you force the update on the repository it will leave the local repositories of your coworkers in an illegal state (e.g. if they made commits after the one you deleted, those commits will be invalid since they were based on a now non-existent

I'm testing out Git and Bitbucket. I've created a repository on Bitbucket and have created a local copy of the repo and am committing files into it. I cann't seem to push the files from my local repo to the remote repo. Here's what I'm doing: git clone https://me@bitbucket.org/me/test.git cd test touch dummy git add dummy git commit dummy -m "my first git commit" git push the final line outputs: Everything up-to-date and when I log on to Bitbucket I cann't see my dummy file. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: Doing this worked: git push origin master:master Any explanations as to the difference

Is there a way to make bitbucket show commit messages as part of comments/activity related to a specific issue, whenever it's been marked-up in said message; the same way github does? Thanks. Issues, pull requests, users and commit hashes can be linked in BitBucket issues and commit messages . Issues can be closed automatically by including something like resolves #123 . Commits referencing issue 123 will generate a cross-reference in the issue. This relies on the issues hook to be enabled, which is done by default on new (after August, 2012) issues-enabled repositories. A little more specific

I just came across a git response in the form of a rainbow, when pushing to my bitbucket repository: Does anybody have a clue what this is related to? The last time they pulled something similar was in solidarity with Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage . Note that this is not a duplicate of Atlassian “logo” after pushing to bitbucket , since that one was in celebration of the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage . This one is in celebration of the LGBT pride month, June. According to Wikipedia, June is the LGBT pride month . Judging from the color scheme, it's probably a similar display of

Git Beginner Alert! I have a basic question as to WHY does GIT allow one to change the user name as a config option git config --global user.name trojan Doesn't this option up the gate for committers to impersonate and create confusion in the history/logs? Why isn't it as simple as take the username from the credentials that are used to connect with GIT? torek As Greg notes in a comment , that can only work in a pure-push workflow. There are many others, including pure-pull, email, git bundle , or any mix of these. It can't quite work for technical reasons: the identity of a commit is a
