branch

I've created a rails website for client X. I now have a client, Y, who wants a website that does the exact same thing as client X, but with a different skin. I made a git branch from clientXcode and called it clientYcode. I then did all the changes to the views to make it look different, and lala, the same website with a different skin. Now here's what I don't understand about git: I've made many changes to clientXcode in the views, models, and controllers; and now I want to merge those changes into clientYcode, excluding any view changes. Since views, models, and controllers each have their

This question already has an answer here: How do I migrate an SVN repository with history to a new Git repository? 32 answers I migrated our SVN repository to Git and pushed it to a central repository. We had a fair amount of tags and branches, but somehow we were not able to list and fetch those from a Git client. This was weird, because the tags and branches seemed to be available on the server. With help from a Jon Maddox blog post , a blog post from Marc Liyanage and a SO answer from Casey I was able to stitch a solution together. Thanks for all the help! Here's what I ended up doing.

I've just inherited a project which was maintained using Git. At one point, the code was deployed onto 3 separate systems and each system maintained their own decentralised Git respository. Each of the 3 systems extended the original base system in 3 different directions. None of the 3 systems have been synchronised against each other. Some changes are on master branch, others are on new branches. How can I bring the 3 different sources together so that I can: find a common base to work with; find out which changes are bug fixes which should be applied across all 3 systems; and maintain the 3

I use git to maintain multiple working copies of my code. The idea is that I can check out any branch, build and run it to see how the branch's feature x fits in with the current state of the code. Git's master branch is the Trunk and the other git branches are features or things I would like to try out. Therefore, my typical usage is updating the master with the latest fixes and then merging master into the individual branches so each of them stays up to date. This system works well for me, except for the fact that I have to checkout a branch, merge the master and rinse/repeat for the other

Possible Duplicate: is “else if” faster than “switch() case” ? I've encountered a lot of situations lately where I have very simple conditionals and need to branch application flow. The "simplest" means of accomplishing what I'm doing is just a plain old if / elseif statement: if($value == "foo") { // ... } elseif($value == "bar") { // ... } elseif($value == "asdf" || $value == "qwerty") { // ... } ...but I'm also considering something like: switch($value) { case "foo": // ... break; case "bar": // ... break; case "qwer": case "asdf": // ... } This seems a little less readable, but perhaps it

I am starting with Git, so I feel that this question could be the newbiest question of day because this task is so simple, but it's causing a terrible headache.. I have 2 local branches: master local/production And 2 remotes: master production I need to pass local changes to production. So, my workflow was: git checkout local/production git merge master git commit git push git merge: Seems Work fine, it detected all differences. git commit: On branch local/production Your branch is ahead of 'origin/production' by 2 commits. nothing to commit (working directory clean) And git push: Everything

I've noticed that some answers to questions about branch names quote the Mercurial wiki to indicate that the branch-per-feature or branch-per-bug naming conventions may cause performance problems. Does the ability to mark branches as closed with the --close-branch flag on commits have any affect on this performance claim? Martin Geisler Does the ability to mark branches as closed with the --close-branch flag on commits have any affect on this performance claim? Marking a branch closed with hg commit --close-branch merely creates a new changeset with a close=1 marker in the changeset meta data.
