Git Question

[Mark Wartman]

Hello,

I am currently running git version 2.10.1 (Apple Git-78).  When I run git config —list:   it returns
credential.helper-osxkeychain
filter.lfs.clean=git=lfs clean — %f
filter.lfs.smudge=git-lfs smudge — %f
filter.lfs.process=git-lfs filter-process
filter.lfs.required=true
user.name=markwartman1
user.email=markwartman@d2l.lonestar.edu

I am following this tutorial and I expected to only see user.name & user.email, so what are the filters.lfs’s and the credential.helper?  Should I ignore them, or try to get rid of them?  Please advise.  

What is the best way to upgrade to a newer stable version of git?

Thanks,

Mark

The `filter.lfs` configuration is set by Git LFS [1] in order to
correctly filter large files into your working copy.

You can safely ignore these, or remove them if you are not using Git
LFS.

On macOS, you can use Homebrew [2] to install any version of Git.
Install the latest via:

  brew update && brew install git

If those appear helpful for your project(s), then sure; but this is up
to you.

Yes, I believe that GitHub Desktop runs 'git lfs install', which adds
these to your configuration.

I see you were able to run git log, what do you see in it? as it might
shed some light on what happened.

RE: GIT Question

[Draggs, Tori]

I apologize, however my intent in reaching out was not to seek free of cost help desk services.  After speaking with Apple they suggested that I contact both Git and Code developers for feedback on the commands I used prior to the potential file removal.  

I appreciate your assistance thus far and will reach out to the mailing list as you've described below.  Again thank you for your time and have a good day.

Can you call Visual Studio Code? If so, the filesystem was definitely not
removed, so that's good news.

The most likely cause is that you are now looking somewhere else than
where the files are actually. Could you use the magnifying glass on the
upper right hand corner to search for a file name of the files you had
previously?

GIT Question

[Draggs, Tori]

Specs:
MacBook Pro 
OS X Yosemite
2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GN 1600 MHz DDR3

After selecting the Git option in a recent install of Visual Studio Code 2015 for MAC, my filesystem was removed. I can no longer access any of the local files stored on my machine. After researching many blogs/websites to no avail I am reaching out to you.  I contacted Apple Support who instructed me to contact the developers for GIT.
 
I am a struggling college student interested in a development career. After spending nearly a year to save up for my laptop - seeing everything gone after a few lines of code is more than devastating.  I am new to GIT and am overwhelmed by the breadth of information available.  If you could share your expertise and guide me to a resource that may address this issue I would be so very grateful.  This is my first real project and I was trying to get myself set up with Visual Studio Code 2015 for Mac.  I know that is not your concern, so getting back to my inquiry - specifically I am looking for information on rolling back a possible commit that removed my entire MacBook Pro file system. I have the .bash_history and am including it below.

If you want to bisect 2.6.38 -> 2.6.39 then I sugest you try :

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

Which is Linus' official repo. If you want to bisect from 2.6.38.x ->
something else then you will have to try the stable repo, I think the
following will help:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

The only thing to be careful of is that 2.6.39.x is not a direct

stable trees have patches added in parallel.

Hope this helps,

git question

[Tirtha Ghosh]

if you want to merge the whole branch..use git merge (
http://book.git-scm.com/3_basic_branching_and_merging.html ). You might get
some conflicts..resolve them, add them and continue with git merge.

On other hands, if you want to get only some of the commits and not the
whole branch...you can use git cherry-pick (
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Using_Git_Cherry_Pick ). You still
might get some conflicts..resolve and add them and use "git commit -c
<commit id>"

Links provided are good to follow.

Tirtha

Yes but no.

Yes, you can change the commit message (git commit --amend), but if you
have already pushed it to the central repo on gitorious, you should not
do it, as it changes the history.

Like this: git diff v2.6.32..origin/pv/pcifront-2.6.32

Thought the latest patches that I've been posting for review are in:
devel/xen-pcifront-0.5 and they are based on top 2.6.35, so you would
do:

git diff v2.6.35..origin/devel/xen-pcifront-0.5

and you would get the one big mega patch for the driver. Thought
don't forget you also need the SWIOTLB/Xen-SWIOTLB stuff (which is now
upstream in 2.6.36-rc0).

To make folks life easier I did setup branches which have all of those
patches in one location. They are:
  devel/merge.2.6.34
  devel/merge.2.6.35
  devel/merge.2.6.35-rc6.t2
  pv/merge.2.6.32
  pv/merge.2.6.33

git diff the last tag from the vanilla branch and his last tag, or his HEAD.

You can also git fetch a vanilla tree into the same checkout, and then
git diff the two branches.

Navigate to the branch you're interested in, using git checkout as
described above.

You can use git log to view commits to that particular branch you're
on. 

With -p to see the patches inline, if that helps.

Patches are listed in reverse order, use -<n> to seen the last n
commits. I usually also use --oneline a lot.

Use git format-patch to export patches. 

Briefly check out rev-parse for an overview on how to select particular
revisions and ranges. Before you get more familiar with that, just using
-<n> is probably more straightforward.

Cheers,
Daniel

Yes, it's a full kernel tree including the patches.
Different branches have different patches. 

You can use git to merge the patches from branch A to branch B.

   git branch -a

After you have identified the remote branch you want to clone (origin is 
the remote that you're originally cloning from)

   git checkout --track origin/X

In your case i suppose you want:

   git checkout --track origin/pv/pcifront-2.6.32

Then you can verify everything is alright doing a :

   git branch

It should list a master branch and a pv/pcifront-2.6.32 branch that 
should be your current branch (the presence of the * indicate your 
current branch)

how can i get pv/pcifront-2.6.32 from Konrad.
When i make "git clone

Perhaps there is something wrong on one of the kernel.org front-end
systems.  You can force a specific one using git1.kernel.org or

Hmm I wonder if thats it. I had a good pull on Thursday for sure, but
I think I did on Friday as well. Someone else reported problems against
other repos.

It seems that if one keeps retrying, eventually it will work, but it
seems very random.

Not my fault (this time).  I haven't pushed anything up to kernel.org

I'm not sure what happened.  I did swap-out my links to the packfiles in
Linus' tree ... but I ran the "git prune" and "git-update-server-info"
afterwards.  So the tree should have been consistent (but possibly might
have had some objects in the packfiles that might not have been needed
by the heads in my tree if Linus was ahead of my tree).

In general the "rsync:" protocol should be the lowest overhead for a
fresh clone, but "git:" should be better for subsequent pulls and fetches.

git question

[Jes Sorensen]

Hi,

I was trying to checkout a copy of Tony's release tree, but I get a
strange error when doing so.

Anyone know how to get around this, or is it not possible to do so?

first:
git-clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git
then:
[jes@tomahawk linux-2.6]$ git-pull
fatal: Needed a single revision
Pulling into a black hole?

???

Thanks,
Jes
