branch

Is there a way to see what files have changed in a branch? An alternative to the answer by @Marco Ponti, and avoiding the checkout: git diff --name-only <notMainDev> $(git merge-base <notMainDev> <mainDev>) If your particular shell doesn't understand the $() construct, use back-ticks instead. All you have to do is the following: git checkout <notMainDev> git diff --name-only <mainDev> This will show you only the filenames that are different between the two branches. amazed this has not been said so far! git diff master...branch So see the changes only on branch To check the current branch use

Is it possible in git to switch to another branch without checking out all files? After switching branch I need to delete all files, regenerate them, commit and switch back. So checking out files is just a waste of times (and there are about 14000 files - it is a long operation). To make everything clear: I need all this to upload documentation to github. I have repo with gh-pages branch. When I rebuild documentation locally, I copy it to repo directory, commit and push to github. But I was not happy because I had two copies of documentation locally. And I decided to creaty empty branch and

In my gemfile I have this: gem "authlogic", :git => "git://github.com/odorcicd/authlogic.git", :branch => "rails3" How do I install that as a gem so I can test it? You don't need to build the gem locally. In your gemfile you can specify a github source with a ref, branch or tag. gem 'rails', :git => "git://github.com/rails/rails.git", :ref => "4aded" gem 'rails', :git => "git://github.com/rails/rails.git", :branch => "2-3-stable" gem 'rails', :git => "git://github.com/rails/rails.git", :tag => "v2.3.5" Then you run bundle install or the short form is just bundle .

I've pulled all remote branches via git fetch --all . I can see the branch I'd like to merge via git branch -a as remotes/origin/branchname. Problem is its not accessible. I can't merge or checkout? VonC You can reference those remote tracking branches ~(listed with git branch -r ) with the name of their remote. You need to fetch the remote branch: git fetch origin aRemoteBranch If you want to merge one of those remote branches on your local branch: git checkout master git merge origin/aRemoteBranch Note 1: For a large repo with a long history, you will want to add the --depth=1 option when

I want to have my local and remote repositories always in sync in terms of branches. After a Pull Request review on GitHub, I merge and remove my branch there (remote). How could I fetch this information in my local repository and get Git to remove my local version of the branch as well? The quick way git branch --merged | grep -v "\*" | xargs -n 1 git branch -d NB: if you're not on master , this has the potential to delete the branch. Keep reading for the "better way". Make sure we keep master You can ensure that master , or any other branch for that matter, doesn't get removed by grep ing

I just deleted the wrong branch with some experimental changes I need with git branch -D branchName . How do I recover the branch? bobDevil You can use git reflog to find the SHA1 of the last commit of the branch. From that point, you can recreate a branch using git branch branchName <sha1> Edit: As @seagullJS says, the branch -D command tells you the sha1, so if you haven't closed the terminal yet it becomes real easy. For example this deletes and then immediately restores a branch named master2 : user@MY-PC /C/MyRepo (master) $ git branch -D master2 Deleted branch master2 (was 130d7ba). <--

How do you branch and merge with Apache Subversion using the TortoiseSVN client?

How do I create a branch in SVN? Ronnie Branching in Subversion is facilitated by a very very light and efficient copying facility. Branching and tagging are effectively the same. Just copy a whole folder in the repository to somewhere else in the repository using the svn copy command. Basically this means that it is by convention what copying a folder means - whether it be a backup, tag, branch or whatever. Depending upon how you want to think about things (normally depending upon which SCM tool you have used in the past) you need to set up a folder structure within your repository to support
