Question If there is a repository that I only have git:// access to (and would usually just push+pull), is there a way to rename branches in that repository in the same way that I would do locally with git branch -m? Answer You just have to create a new local branch with the desired name, push it to your remote, and then delete the old remote branch: $ git branch new-branch-name origin/old-branch-name $ git push origin --set-upstream new-branch-name $ git push origin :old-branch-name Then, to see the old branch name, each client of the repository would have to do:…

Question Which files should I include in .gitignore when using Git in conjunction with Xcode? Answer I was previously using the top-voted answer, but it needs a bit of cleanup, so here it is redone for Xcode 4, with some improvements. I've researched every file in this list, but several of them do not exist in Apple's official Xcode documentation, so I had to go on Apple mailing lists. Apple continues to add undocumented files, potentially corrupting our live projects.…

Question git blame is great for modified and added lines, but how can I find when a line that existed in a specific previous commit was eventually deleted. I'm thinking bisect, but I was hoping for something handier. (Before you ask: in this case, I just did a git log -p and searched through for the code line and (a) some idiot had just deleted the vital line in the previous commit and (b) I was that idiot.…

Question While helping a friend with a git problem today, I had to introduce a branch that needed to be totally separate from the master branch. The contents of this branch really had a different origin from what had been developed on the master branch, but they were going to be merged into the master branch at a later time. I remembered from reading John Wiegley's Git from the bottom up how branches are essentially a label to a commit that follows a certain convention and how a commit is tied to a tree of files and, optionally to parent commits.…

Question I'm stuck behind a firewall, so I have to use HTTPS to access my GitHub repository. I'm using Cygwin 1.7.7 on Windows XP. I've tried setting the remote to https://username@github.com/username/ExcelANT.git, but pushing prompts for a password, but it doesn't do anything once I've entered it. https://username:<password>github.com/username/ExcelANT.git and cloning the empty repository from scratch, but each time it gives me the same error: error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK.…
