Answer The --follow works for a particular file git log --follow -- filename Difference to other solutions given Note that other solutions include git log path (without the --follow).

Question I created a local branch. How do I push it to the remote server? UPDATE: I have written a simpler answer for Git 2.0 here. Answer First, create a new local branch and check it out: git checkout -b <branch-name> The remote branch is automatically created when you push it to the remote server: git push <remote-name> <branch-name> <remote-name> is typically origin, which is the name which git gives to the remote you cloned from.…

Question I want to change the column labels of a Pandas DataFrame from ['$a', '$b', '$c', '$d', '$e'] to ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] Answer Rename Specific Columns Use the df.rename() function and refer the columns to be renamed. Not all the columns have to be renamed: df = df.rename(columns={'oldName1': 'newName1', 'oldName2': 'newName2'}) Or rename the existing DataFrame (rather than creating a copy) df.rename(columns={‘oldName1’: ’newName1’, ‘oldName2’: ’newName2’}, inplace=True) Minimal Code Example…
