I have the following remotes set up: $ git remote korg rorg And the following branches: $ git branch -a * (no branch) remotes/korg/gingerbread remotes/korg/gingerbread-release remotes/korg/honeycomb remotes/korg/honeycomb-mr1-release remotes/korg/master remotes/m/android-2.3.3_r1 -> refs/tags/android-2.3.3_r1a remotes/m/gingerbread -> korg/gingerbread Now I wish to push all the remote branches from korg to the rorg remote. How do I do that? Preferably without making a local branch for each first, if that is avoidable. A quick test making some temporary repositories shows you can construct a

I was trying to create a branch from master with the following command, git branch SSLOC-201_Implement___str__()_of_ProductSearchQuery when Git suddenly stopped responding. I suspect the unescaped () are to blame, somehow. Now, whenever I try to run any Git command, I get the same error: git:176: command not found: _of_ProductSearchQuery with the number after git increasing every time I type a command. Can anyone explain what happened? And how do I get back to normal? I'd like to delete that branch, but how can I do that? jub0bs Problem Can anyone explain what happened? [...] I'd love to be

I have a git branch called 9-sign-in-out with perfectly working code, and I want to turn it into the master. I'm currently on the master branch. $ git branch 9-sign-in-out * master I'm trying to switch to 9-sign-in-out branch, but it doesn't allow me to: $ git checkout 9-sign-in-out app/helpers/application_helper.rb: needs merge config/routes.rb: needs merge error: you need to resolve your current index first Any idea how can I ignore all the master branch errors and turn the 9-sign-in-out branch into the master? Maybe git rebase ? But I don't want to lose the code in 9-sign-in-out branch.

Here are the commands I used from the master branch git branch experiment git checkout experiment Then I made some changes to my files, committed the changes, and pushed the new branch to GitHub. git commit . git push -u origin experiment Note that after git commit . I was prompted for a commit message, and I gave it one. Later on I decided to merge my experiment branch into the master branch. git checkout master git merge experiment Finally I pushed the changes to GitHub. git push -u origin master All went well until I tried deleting my experiment branch using git branch -d experiment I got

I'd like to create a new master branch from an existing tag. Say I have a tag v1.0 . How to create a new branch from this tag? Wow, that was easier than I thought: git checkout -b newbranch v1.0 user1069067 If you simply want to create a new branch without immediately changing to it, you could do the following: git branch newbranch v1.0 I used the following steps to create a new hot fix branch from a Tag. Syntax git checkout -b <New Branch Name> <TAG Name> Steps to do it. git checkout -b NewBranchName v1.0 Make changes to pom / release versions Stage changes git commit -m "Update pom versions

I've tried git branch -r , but that only lists remote branches that I've tracked locally. How do I find the list of those that I haven't? (It doesn't matter to me whether the command lists all remote branches or only those that are untracked.) Dustin For the vast majority [1] of visitors here, the correct and simplest answer to the question "How do I list all remote branches in Git 1.7+?" is: git branch -r For a small minority [1] git branch -r does not work. If git branch -r does not work try: git ls-remote --heads <remote-name> If git branch -r does not work, then maybe as Cascabel says "you

I'm new to Git, and now I'm in this situation: I have four branches (master, b1, b2, and b3). After I worked on b1-b3, I realized I have something to change on branch master that should be in all other branches. I changed what I needed in master and... here is my problem: How do I update all other branches with master branch code? You have two options: The first is a merge, but this creates an extra commit for the merge. Checkout each branch: git checkout b1 Then merge: git merge origin/master Then push: git push origin b1 Alternatively, you can do a rebase: git fetch git rebase origin/master

Sometimes, I create local branches in git, and I'd like to get a warning message when I try to dcommit from them. How can I prevent myself from accidentally dcommiting from a local branch? An alternative to pre-commit hooks, if you're using Linux (or Git bash or Cygwin or similar), is to wrap git in a shell helper function. Add the below to your ~/.bashrc (for bash, Git bash) or ~/.zshrc (for zsh) file, or whatever the equivalent is for your shell: real_git=$(which git) function git { if [[ ($1 == svn) && ($2 == dcommit) ]] then curr_branch=$($real_git branch | sed -n 's/\* //p') if [[ ($curr
