branch

I have a PHP framework versioned with GIT and I'm planning several (drastic) changes to its core. What I want to do is to start working on the new core in a new branch, but since this change might require some restructuring on the filesystem too, I'd like to start this new branch as cleanly as possible. I want the clean branch to include only with the core files. As I'm finishing my changes, I want to add the rest of the modules from the framework to the working directory one by one, but keep the ability to merge if I do changes on master. How can I do that? Branch with No Ancestors You want

I have a local repository I'm working on and its remote is hosted on GitHub. I recently created a branch and started working on it, making several commits and now wish to push the branch to GitHub and be able to pull it to another cloned repository. What needs to be done to accomplish this? If this is not possible using GitHub, I'd be happy to know how to do it normally. git push origin <local-branch-name>:<remote-branch-name> Substitute for <local-branch-name> and <remote-branch-name> . They may be same or different, as you wish. J-16 SDiZ As you have set up the remotes already, the command

Myself and one other developer had been merging and pushing our work to a non-master branch called toolwork. That way, we didn't impact the rest of the team. My topic branch was called DPM-93 and my git workflow was this. # do some work git checkout DPM-93 git commit -m "did some work" # catch up git checkout toolwork git pull origin toolwork # rebase my topic branch git checkout DPM-93 git rebase toolwork # merge and push my changes git checkout toolwork git merge --no-ff DPM-93 git push origin toolwork That was mostly working fine until I accidently issued these git commands git checkout

I'm kind of new to version control with GIT. I read this Guide and am following the basic approach that is shown in the diagram HERE . Still, I have some doubts about how to use git branches to separate the development of new features from existing code. Here is an example. Suppose that at the start, my repository contains the following two main branches: Master branch (containing the release version) Develop Branch (containing new fixes or features to separate them from existing project features) When I need to develop new features or modules, I create branches from Develop and start the new

I have worked on a local branch and also pushed the changes to remote. I want to revert the changes on that branch and do something else on it, but I don't want to lose the work completely. I was thinking of something like create a new branch locally and copy the old branch there, then I can revert the changes and continue working on the old branch. Is there a better way maybe? Or how do I do this? git checkout old_branch git branch new_branch This will give you a new branch "new_branch" with the same state as "old_branch". This command can be combined to the following: git checkout -b new

I started work on what I thought would be a minor bug fix on my master branch. However, it has spiraled out of control to the point where I wish I had created a separate branch to do the development in the first place. So right now what I'd like to do is: Create a new branch called (say) "edge" Move all the changed / untracked files on master to edge (such that master is unchanged from when I started the bug fix) Finish my work on edge, merge back into master How can I do this? If you haven't been committing anything yet, you're already in the right position. Create a new branch: git checkout

I am trying to figure out the right workflow for this situation: On the shared repo, we have these branches: -master -feature The feature branch is a shared branch, since many developers are working on a new feature together. They are actively pushing their changes to the feature branch. I'm trying to avoid 'conflict hell' for the day that feature finally gets merged back into master . Currently, I see some options: 1) Actively merge master into feature , and do it often. However, this is not recommended in the git docs, and I'm starting to see why. When I try this, I seem to fix the same
