git-branch

I am just wondering if there is a way to simply diff two branches in GitHub? I know GitHub has capacity to do it because when we do code-reviews it does list out all the diffs nicely. I was just wondering if there is a way to do it without any code review to compare say Branch to Branch or Commit to Commit? So that when I push something to my remote branch and I want to see how my diffs are going to look like BEFORE it create a PR then it can be very helpful. I can always be in console and do git diff but that is really not as nice and visually clear as how it shows up in web UI of GitHub. Any

For a product based GIT repository, wherein there are branches for maintenance, testing as well as future development, how do I control user access to these branches. By access, I mean that even though others may read from it, they should not be able to inadvertently push changes to the repo. For example, A - B - C - D - E - F -> master | | | V1 V2' exp | V2 "B" is the commit used for Branch with tag V1 - meant for released version of the product. Only support/maintenance engineers should have access to this. C is used for a recently frozen pre-release product V2' and should only allow

This question already has an answer here: Can I recover a branch after its deletion in Git? 17 answers I have deleted my branch by mistake like this: git branch -D demo But I want to recover it… I get this after git reflog 541b2f5 HEAD@{23}: checkout: moving from demo to master 06fa6d5 HEAD@{24}: commit (merge): remove ajax call for deleting variables and transfomers b84b60a HEAD@{25}: checkout: moving from demo1 to demo I want to create branch with sha 06fa6d5 … so I tried this: git checkout -b demo 06fa6d5 git checkout -b demo HEAD@{24} But I didn't get code from that… Create a list of all

My organisation is preparing to release an open-source version of our software using github, however I'm not sure the best way to approach this: We have two branches master and release , master contains some proprietary components that we have decided not to release, and release contains the cleaned-up version that we want to distribute. The problem is, if we just push the release branch to github, the proprietary components can be retrieved by looking through the revision history. I was considering creating a separate repository, copying the HEAD of relase into it, doing a git init , and

I'm using Visual Studio 2013's Git support to work on a private GitHub repository. I have permission to commit to it. I want to switch branches, but when I go to the Branches view, the only branch in any of the lists (branch drop-down, published branches, merge tool) is master. Other branches show up in GitHub, GitHub for Windows, and TortoiseGit. So I know they're there and I have access. Any ideas why I can't see other branches in Visual Studio? I'm running Visual Studio 2013 Update 2. Edward Thomson The branch dropdown will only show local branches, it will not show remote branches. You

Is there a way to show only the branch structure in Git? There are a number of tools that show the commits graphically, but in my case the list is so long that it's impossible to see the structure. I guess git-log could be the answer, but I can't find any switches that only show the branching commits. This along with "--graph --branches --oneline --all" could do the trick. EDIT: I'm looking for a way to do this in Ubuntu. VonC I am not sure about what you mean by "branch structure". git log can help visualize the branches made through commits (See this blog post ): [alias] lg = log --graph -

How Do I Use git-tfs Idiomatically? The git idiom is to check out branches to the root directory of the repository. Checking out a branch will replace the contents of the directory with the contents of that branch. The TFS idiom is to check out each branch in a different directory under the root directory of the repository (even the master or trunk branch). Checking out a branch will place it in a new directory next to the current one. Using git-tfs , I can clone a TFS repository or branch into a git repository. I want to work on a TFS repository with multiple branches in a manner consistent

I have a repo on GitHub. Recently I have discovered GitHub's pages and I want to use them. I would like to create this new branch and then, when I need to, either commit on master branch or on gh-pages branch. How can I do this? Do I have to create another folder inside my repo? You might find this tutorial useful: Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch and "master" branch as subfolders of a parent project folder ("grandmaster") . To me this approach seems simpler then doing a git checkout gh-pages each time you want to edit your gh-pages content. Let me know what you think ^_^ Edit: I updated
