branch

This is a difficult situation to explain, so bear with me. I have a Mercurial repository with 2 main branches, default and dev . Work is usually done in a named branch off of dev (a feature branch). There may be many feature branches at any one time. Once work is completed in that branch, it is merged back into dev . When the time comes to prepare a release, another named branch is created off of dev (a release branch). Sometimes it is necessary to exclude entire features from a release. If that is the case, the merge changeset from where the feature branch was merged into dev is backed out of

Let's say I have a develop branch. I create a feature branch from this to develop a feature. Once the feature is developed, it is merged back into develop. Pretty much like shown here: Is there a way I can freeze the feature branch so that no further commits can be made to it? The reason for not outright deleting the branch is so that viewing the history can still show the feature branch and that if there needs to be a tweak made to the feature then it is possible for someone to create a new feature branch from the last commit of the previous feature. gjcamann Christopher is right, tagging

Git Flow常用的分支 Production 分支 也就是我们经常使用的Master分支，这个分支最近发布到生产环境的代码，最近发布的Release， 这个分支只能从其他分支合并，不能在这个分支直接修改 Develop 分支 这个分支是我们是我们的主开发分支，包含所有要发布到下一个Release的代码，这个主要合并与其他分支，比如Feature分支 Feature 分支 这个分支主要是用来开发一个新的功能，一旦开发完成，我们合并回Develop分支进入下一个Release Release分支 当你需要一个发布一个新Release的时候，我们基于Develop分支创建一个Release分支，完成Release后，我们合并到Master和Develop分支 Hotfix分支 当我们在Production发现新的Bug时候，我们需要创建一个Hotfix, 完成Hotfix后，我们合并回Master和Develop分支，所以Hotfix的改动会进入下一个Release Git Flow如何工作 初始分支 所有在Master分支上的Commit应该Tag Feature 分支 分支名 feature/* Feature分支做完后，必须合并回Develop分支, 合并完分支后一般会删点这个Feature分支，但是我们也可以保留 Release分支 分支名 release/*

I've set up tracking branches with the --track option, and when I do a git pull on master , it fetches all branches to origin/branchname but doesn't merge with the local tracking branches. This is extra annoying, because if I later do a git push on master , it says that non-fast-forward updates were rejected on the tracking branches, since they weren't fast-forwarded on the initial git pull . My question is: How do I make it so that git pull with fetch all branches and automatically fast-forward all the tracking branches? Note: git pull used to fast-forward all my tracking branches with my

I use git as a local source control system mostly for history and diff tracking. I still want to use rebase to do fixup / squash on WIP commits that I will make periodically. When I try to do git rebase -i though, I get the following: There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to rebase against. See git-rebase(1) for details git rebase <branch> If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with: git branch --set-upstream-to=<remote>/<branch> MyBranch It seems like git doesn't expect you to use interactive rebase without

I'm on a branch with some changes. Changing branch is a pain as some files are locked by processes, so to change branch I'd have to stop all the processes which have locks, then stash the changes before checking out the other branch to see its log. Is it possible to view the log for a different branch, without having to check it out? TL; DR Use git log <branch> where <branch> is the name of the branch of interest. From the git-log man-page... A simplified version of the git-log synopsis given in that command's man page is git log [<revision range>] Further down, you can find the following
