git-rebase

Suppose I run git rebase -i HEAD~3 pick 6b24464 foo pick a681432 Foo pick 8ccba08 foo foo # Rebase 960c384..8ccba08 onto 960c384 # # Commands: # p, pick = use commit # r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message # e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending # s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit # f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message # x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell I would like to reword commit messages directly from this file, rather than editing each commit message one at a time (as per usual with reword ), like

I have been monitoring two branches starting from each sprint - Release and Master . Master branch is from where developers create new branch(task specific), implement their changes, and creates pull request which gets merged into the Master. Release branch is sprint specific which remains always submittable to the production. We only merge branches committed to the Master and verified by the QA into Release branch. This approach works best for us as we submit Release at fix regular interval with specific functionality implemented and verified, and hence we exactly know what's going in the

Consider following scenario: I checked out a branch from master I made some commits I merged updated master I made some more commits Now I want rebase commits from point 4 so that commits from point 2 are not affected. So if I have initially: (1) (2) x--x--x--x--x--x--x master \ \ y--y--Y--y--y dev (2)(3) (4) I want to get: (1) (2) x--x--x--x--x--x--x master \ \ y--y--------Y'--y'--y' dev (2) (5) (5) If I just do git rebase master it will rebase commits both from 2 and from 4 and delete merge from 3. It's not what I want. There is also option to do git merge master , then git rebase -i -p

We recently completed a conversion from Mercurial to Git, everything went smoothly, we were even able to get the transforms needed to make everything look / work relatively correctly in the repository. We added a .gitignore and got underway. However we're experiencing some extreme slowdowns as soon as we encorporate/work with any of our old feature branches. A little exploring and we found that since the .gitignore was only added to the develop branch when we look at other commits without merging develop up into them git chuggs because it's choking trying to analyze all our build artifacts

I'm working with a repository that in theory should be following the Gitflow Workflow (see A successful git branching model by Vincent Driessen). However, the initial commit on the repository was made on the develop branch and there is no master branch to be seen. It's nearing release time and I need to create a master branch that reflects the production-ready state of the project which should've been there from the start. Keep in mind that the develop branch has multiple feature branches coming off of it. The repository is entirely local and hasn't been pushed. My idea was to create an orphan

My git branches look like this: master-*-*-*-*-*-*-implement_x \ \-*-further_foo_fixes_that_depend_on_x \ \-*-*-further_bar_fixes_that_depend_on_x \ \-implement_x_rebased It ended this way, because I thought my branch implement_x would be merged upstream as it is, but I was asked to squash it to a single commit, thus implement_x_rebased . However, I already started several branches for further fixing and developing that depend on my work, while waiting for the implement_x to get merged. Now I'd like to rebase the further work on implement_x_rebased . I thought this was a no-op, since implement
