git-remote

I'm a Git newbie. I recently moved a Rails project from Subversion to Git. I followed the tutorial here: http://www.simplisticcomplexity.com/2008/03/05/cleanly-migrate-your-subversion-repository-to-a-git-repository/ I am also using unfuddle.com to store my code. I make changes on my Mac laptop on the train to/from work and then push them to unfuddle when I have a network connection using the following command: git push unfuddle master I use Capistrano for deployments and pull code from the unfuddle repository using the master branch. Lately I've noticed the following message when I run "git

I am following the instructions given here to create a Git repository. All went well until the last line: $ git push -u origin master fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly I'm using git version 1.7.11.3 on OS X 10.6.8 $ git remote -v returns nothing Config file for the repository: [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true ignorecase = true I've had to open sudoers file using sudo visudo command and add the following to it (under # User privilege specification): git ALL=(ALL) ALL.

Is git remote update the equivalent of git fetch ? UPDATE: more information!

These make git remote update and git remote prune less necessary (there is no plan to

I have created a git repository to mirror a live site (which is a non-bare git repository): git clone --mirror ssh://user@example.com/path/to/repo Now, to keep this mirror clone updated with all changes from its remote origin, which command or commands I must use? I'd like to keep everything updated: commits, refs, hooks, branches, etc. Thanks! This is the command that you need to execute on the mirror: git remote update J. Bruni Regarding commits, refs, branches and " et cetera ", Magnus answer just works ( git remote update ). But unfortunately there is no way to clone / mirror / update the

I've got a project hosted on GitHub which somebody has forked. On their fork, they've created a new branch "foo" and made some changes. How do I pull their "foo" into a new branch also named "foo" in my repo? I understand they could submit a pull request to me, but I'd like to initiate this process myself. Assume the following: Because they forked my project, both our repos share the same 'history' Although GitHub shows their project was forked from mine, my local repository doesn't have any references to this person's project. Do I need to add theirs as a remote? I don't have a branch called
