git-merge

Questions : How are several people meant to work with GIT? Is update-commit usual as in SVN or is merge the default? When merging, who should appear as the author of the merging commit? A lot of background information : I am writing a paper on LaTeX with another guy and we are using GIT for the version control. From the start we decided we both would work on the master branch, because we are anyway only two people. I've done a number of commits. Then he did a commit over an old version and merged my last version and the most recent one (after his commit). This is easier to see with a picture:

I've lost files added to git during "merge conflict" phase. Step by step: git pull git status Git informs me about "merge conflict", that's okay. Then I create a new file and add it to git. vi test.txt git add test.txt After that, abort merge: git merge --abort I have not found the file "test.txt" neither in directory, nor via "git fsck", nor "git reflog". Is it possible to restore the file? What have you tried with git fsck ? see this SO question : Recover files that were added to the index but then removed by a git reset The general answer is : the sequence of instructions you typed has

I've just overwritten my co-workers code by merging FETCH_HEAD and getting my more recent changes instead of his. I want to revert to before the merge, then do the merge forcing his changes to be accepted where he touched the file, but getting my merges where there isn't any other changes. My git log (created with l2*) looks like this now : * 3f6308d - (HEAD, master) Merging changes (confliect in PriceListForm.java.. was a formatting change only (Sun Dec 29 09:07:27 2013) <Gre |\ | * 283c00c - Changing wv reports to be separated by changes in prices according to received_date rather than lab

Good evening! I know this is very usual and there are probably thousands of answers on the internet but I couldn't find one that was helfull. I have two local branches: MASTER Mk I made a lot of changes to Mk, committed these, and switched to MASTER to merge these two branches. But there were conflicts. So now I am on the MASTER branch, can not switch to Mk anymore, but need to override my MASTER with Mk. It keeps saying error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge Is there a way to do this? git mergetool --tool=meld #No files need merging git merge -s theirs

After git pull I have done git reset hard to undo the merge with commit id before merge.Somehow my entire commit is gone and I cant the see the commit in history also. But I have the commit id , on git show command I can see my changes. How can I get back my changes and how to track what mistake I have done if you have the commit hash, and you have not run garbage collection, you can always go back to that commit with git checkout <sha1> . if you want to re-apply it on top of your current head, you could do git cherry-pick <sha1> 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6201802/git-pull-deleted

Let's say I am on a different branch than <local-branch> , called <different-branch> . When I try to pull from a remote branch to a local branch, I do the following: git pull origin <remote-branch>:<local-branch> And, from my understanding this should pull into my <local-branch> , and not pull into <different-branch> . But, then when I check git log while I'm on <different-branch> , I see that those commits are from <remote-branch> ? How do I pull from a remote branch, into a local branch, when the local branch is different from the one that I cam currently on? Thank you. Using git pull with a
