git-rebase

Start situation (no unpushed changes, > indicates the current branch): o C [> master][origin/master] | o B | o A | ... After a git fetch the log structure often looks like o E [origin/master] | o C' | o B' | o D | | o C [>master] | | | o B |/ o A | ... Now git rebase origin/master master often produces conflicts. Is git pull --rebase smarter and just uses git reset to make master also point to E if master == origin/master initially? grzuy git pull --rebase is similar to what the following would do: git fetch git rebase So in your case it will leave the repository like this: o C [> master] | o

Usually, you have to do git rebase --skip , it would be nice if there was a switch to automatically skip over these empty commits. Anyone know how to do this? G2 - uses the following alias continue Url to G2 - https://github.com/orefalo/g2 Cheatsheet - http://orefalo.github.com/g2/ #!/bin/bash # # This command is used to resume a conflict, either rebase or merge # it will smartly do a rebase --skip when necessary state=$("$GIT_EXE" g2brstatus) [[ $state = "rebase" ]] && { action="--continue" if git diff-index --quiet HEAD --; then echo "The last commit brings no significant changes -- skipping

I'm trying to find the source of a bug that's come up since a commit in the past day on a long lived branch (which will be released much much later) called feature-x . There's a bug though. I find behavior that I don't expect from my script which might have been introduced in any of the commit's up till now, specifically because features of master are used heavily in feature-x, but less so on Master itself. To test this behavior, I have to run my script, dependent.pl. But when bisect jumps half way down the code, my script doesn't exist on Master and so it's impossible to test. I believe this

Is there a way to rebase a branch onto another while skipping a particular (conflicting) commit on the other branch? For example, I want to rebase mybranch onto master , but master contains a commit that will conflict with the commits in master, so I prefer to undo that commit completely. -o-o-o-o-o-x-o-o-o-o master | o-o-o-o mybranch x marks the conflicting commit. Sergey K. Use interactive rebase: git rebase -i master An editor will open and you will have a list of commits like this: pick b8f7c25 Fix 1 pick 273b0bb Fix 2 pick 6aaea1b Fix 3 Just delete the commit you want to skip. It will be

I want to change a pretty old commit message using: git rebase -i sha1-of-commit^ That's nice, I do git commit --amend and edit the message, but things get bad when I do: git rebase --continue I encounter multiple conflicts but don't understand why as the whole conflict resolution has obviously already been done in the past, and git should just move forward until all commits are rebased. How can I finish the rebase quickly without having to handle these old conflicts? I just want to change a simple (and old) commit message after all... Make a small script in your /bin directory (or any

When it happens that a useful commit is accidentally skipped during a rebase operation, is there any hope that Git keeps a reference of it that could be reapplied? It was a non-interactive rebase with lots of binary files where I went too long into a happy-trigger mood using git rebase --skip , so there were no error messages at all, just a lousy attitude. This seems a hard-disk crashing recovery scenario, but instead of chasing phantom inodes, there should be a way to filter lost tree objects inside .git/objects and getting them back alive. When you run git rebase (interactive or not), git
