commit

Is there any way to get a list of files that will be committed when I type the following? git commit -m "my changes" git status lists too much. I could strip out all the words, but I'd rather not. And I don't want to be told about untracked files. I've tried git ls-files -md but that doesn't show files that have been recently added, but not yet committed. I'm looking for the same output you'd get from svn status -q For example $ svn status -q A file.py M dir/database.py M start.py This is what I was looking for. Thanks to notnoop for the lead I needed. I wanted to post back my solution in case

Is there a way to see the date of a commit in github, with day/hour precision? Older commits appear in a "human readable" format, such as "2 years ago" instead of showing the actual date. If it's not possible to see the actual date on github, is there a easier workaround than git clone ? Matt S. Hover your mouse over the 2 years ago and you'll get the timestamp. The real date does not appear for me upon hovering "2 years ago", despite the text being wrapped by a <time> element with an iso value under its datetime attribute. If all else fails, like it did for me, try inspecting the text. Sample

There has certainly been posts around for this, but I actually did a commit because I thought it was the right thing to do. So, I have two repositories, one development and one production. I had to edit something in the production because it was an urgent bugfix, and now I have three files that are newer in the production than in the development. I committed the three files on the production and tried a pull, but it told me there were merge errors. I tried copying and pasting the new files to the development server and retrying the whole thing and it didn't work. Now I'm sure that what I need

After doing a merge and resolving conflicts, is there an "easy" way to just accept the default generated commit message from the command line? One of our developers will resolve all the conflicts, and then do a git commit -m"Merge Commit" which replaces the generated commit message that listed all the conflict files. I would like to have a different flag that would just take the current file without modification. I know there is a -F or --file= option, but that requires knowing the file name all the time. Thank you Obviously the "right" answer here is to get your developer to follow correct

I have a project that I am building with Netbeans 6.1 and I am using SVN. I deleted some files on the local machine then attempted to commit my changes to th SVN repository. The commit fails with the error message Entry for 'C:\path\to\project\myfile' has no URL Where myfile is the deleted file. Is there some way to tell SVN that the file was deleted from the project and that it should be deleted from the repository? An svn update will bring the file back, fixing your local repo. You should then be able to do an "svn delete" on the file, which tells your local repo that the file is to be

I've seen commit messages that refer to a specific issue / pull request. What is the syntax to include a specific repository's issue or pull request? Use the documented auto-linking format for issues across repositories. Syntax: {owner}/{repository}#{issue_number} Example: mojombo/jekyll#1 When such formatted text is present in a commit message, it's automatically transformed into a clickable link which will redirect one to https://github.com/{owner}/{repository}/issues/{issue_number} Use #1234 in a comment to reference pull request 1234 from the current repo. Github share PR/Issue number use

I am working on a git project (hosted on GitHub) and using GitHub for Windows. Yesterday, I got a lot accomplished but GitHub for Windows bailed on me (says it cannot make a commit) and I was not able to commit. I do not want to lose my GitHub commit streak, so I was wondering if there was any way to commit in a past date and sync with my GitHub (if this is possible). Also: I have staged my commits in the git-bash but have not committed yet. VonC While the question " How do I make a Git commit in the past? " explains how to amend the commit author date: git commit --amend --no-edit --date="Fri

I can't exclude user interface state file from commit. Every time I'm trying to push to github it asks me to commit first and insert user interface state file into the changes (even if I didn't move the mouse or interface at all it still is shown to commit!). I tried different methods, described in other similar topics. For example, I tried to add all possible cases of user interface into the .gitignore in root, like this: *.xcuserstate project.xcworkspace xcuserdata UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate project.xcworkspace/ xcuserdata/ UserInterface.xcuserstate It didn't work. I tried to clean the

Currently, when I run git svn dcommit git creates a separate commit in SVN for every local commit I've made since last syncing with SVN. Is there any way for dcommit to instead combine all my recent local commits into one commit for SVN? git rebase remotes/trunk --interactive should bring you to the menu where you can pick commits or squash them all into 1 commit in order to avoid polluting your svn repository. This is a really good (but short) resource on working with git-svn. No, but you can squish all the commits together pretty easily. For the following example, I'm going to assume you're
