GIT tricks

Set url origin

This can be usefull for ssh commit with no password.

For this repository:

$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:rflamary/notes.git

Pull from master into another branch

You are working on a branch, but you want the commits made on master.

$ git checkout myBranch # Switch to "myBranch"
$ git fetch origin # Gets you up to date with origin
$ git merge origin/master # Merge with master

Discard all local changes

$ git reset --hard HEAD

ignore subfolder that are git repos

find . -name .git -type d -prune | sed 's/.git//g' |sed 's/\.\///g' >> .gitignore

Fast git commit all changed files in repository

add this to the .bashrc

function gcm { # gcm wathever text you want
eval $(echo git commit . -m "\"$@\"")
}  

Then you can perform a commit on all modified and added files with

$ gcm comment text

where ther is no need for quotes around the comment text!

Create empty git on remote server

mkdir -p git/mon-site.git
cd git/mon-site.git 
git init-db

Add master to the repo:

nano git/mon-site.git/.git/config

Add thge following lines:

[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master

Now we set it bare :

git config --bool core.bare true

Upload local git to empty remote

git remote add origin login@server.com:path/to/repo.git
git push origin -u master
