signing work

This is an example of GPG key.

git config --global user.signingkey 0A46826A

Commands

Add a local branch that tracks a remote branch

$ git branch --track greet origin/greet
$ git branch -a
$ git merge origin/master

Pulling changes from a remote

$ git fetch
$ git merge origin/master

is equivalent to:

$ git pull

Rebase a branch

$ git checkout cbranch
Switched to branch 'cbranch'

$ git rebase master
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: added Greeter class
Applying: hello uses Greeter
Applying: updated Rakefile

$

Merge a branch

$ git checkout autonotif
Switched to branch 'autonotif'

$ git merge <branchname>
Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy.
 foobarrecords_savenew.hns | 1 +
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 foobarrecords_savenew.hns

Merges <branchname> onto autonotif branch

Remove a tag

$ git tag -d <tagname>

Undo last commit

This undo is recorded as a part of the git log.

$ git revert HEAD

Reset the branch to a specific point in the past

$ git reset --hard <hash>

--hard parameter also updates the working directory. Reset shouldn't be used in a group project on a remote repository because of its potential for confusion.

Ignore files

Temporary ignore changes to a file

$ git update-index --assume-unchanged <filename>

Back to tracking changes to the file

$ git update-index --no-assume-unchanged <filename>

Ignore file modes

This is useful when working with multiple file systems.

$ git config core.filemode false

Useful git aliases
