Question Today I was looking through the logs for a project and realized that I fat fingered a tag name some time ago. Is there some way to rename the tag? Google hasn't turned up anything useful. I realize I could check out the tagged version and make a new tag, I even tried that. But that seems to create a tag object that isn't quite right. For one, git tag -l lists it out of order relative to all of the other tags.…

Question This question already has answers here: </div> Git commit to common submodule (master branch) (7 answers) Closed 10 years ago. I have, in my naivety, set up a git submodule and treated it like a Subversion external - i.e. it's now full of changes that I've just realized haven't been committed or pushed anywhere. Is there some easy way to commit/push the submodule changes back to the upstream repo? And what's the recommended technique in Git for doing simultaneous development on separate (but linked) repositories in this way?…

Question I know I can do git branch --all, and that shows me both local and remote branches, but it's not that useful in showing me the relationships between them. How do I list branches in a way that shows which local branch is tracking which remote? Answer Very much a porcelain command, not good if you want this for scripting: git branch -vv # doubly verbose! Note that with git 1.…

Question What command can I use to print out the commit id of HEAD? This is what I'm doing by hand: $ cat .git/HEAD ref: refs/heads/v3.3 $ cat .git/refs/heads/v3.3 6050732e725c68b83c35c873ff8808dff1c406e1 But I need a script that can reliably pipe the output of some command to a text file such that the text file contains exactly the commit id of HEAD (nothing more or less, and not just a ref). Can anyone help?…
