git-config

I have a Git repository. I have cloned the repository and can commit my local changes. When I push my changes to the server it works. As soon as I create a branch, I checkout the branch, commit my work and then checkout the master branch. I then merge my local changes into the master branch. When I try to push to the server I get the following exception: Welcome to Git (version 1.7.11-preview20120620) Run 'git help git' to display the help index. Run 'git help <command>' to display help for specific commands. $ git push origin master:master Counting objects: 9, done. Delta compression using up

I followed these instructions to the letter, including the part about password caching. It seems like the instructions are wrong, because every time I git push origin master I get this error: git: 'credential-cache' is not a git command. See 'get --help'. ... at which point I am forced to enter my username and password. After doing so, I am presented with the same error message again, followed by the output from git push .

I have that file in a system wide configuration (but it can also be included with git config include.path="/path/to/defaultconfig" I would like to reset some values previously setted. In particular, the default config file contains diff.external = git-diff-wrapper , and I would like to deactivate it for some user If it is a system wide config, each user can override a config value in his/her global and local settings. But there is no easy way to "deactivate" a setting in a lower config file. Even set it to "" generally has unintended consequences. That very topic was discussed in April 2010 .

Can I pass arguments to the alias of a Git command? I have some alias in Git config, like so: rb1 = rebase -i HEAD~1 rb2 = rebase -i HEAD~2 rb3 = rebase -i HEAD~3 rb4 = rebase -i HEAD~4 .... Is it possible to make an rb alias so that git rb <x> works for any <x> ? I tried this alias: rb = rebase -i HEAD~ but then for instance git rb 8 does not work. VonC If you consider the Git Faq section "Git Aliases with argument" , you could do it, but by calling git through a shell: [alias] rb = "!sh -c \"git rebase -i HEAD~$1\" -" I haven't tested it yet, but if you can pass an argument, that would be
