which commit does a blob belong to?
which.sh:
#!/bin/sh
obj_name="$1"
shift
git log "$@" --pretty=format:'%T %h %s' \
| while read tree commit subject ; do
if git ls-tree -r $tree | grep -q "$obj_name" ; then
echo $commit "$subject"
fi
done
which.sh <blob>
show history for a file
git log --follow -p -- file
show one commit
git diff <commit>~ <commit>
check branch
git branch | grep -e "^*" | cut -d' ' -f 2
see most recent branch
git branch -a --sort=-committerdate git branch -a --sort=committerdate
What's the latest commit in the branch?
git log -n 1 <branchname> --format=format:%ci
list conflicting files
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U
set globalgitignore
git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'
Allow empty commit
git commit --allow-empty -m 'trigger build'
revert
How do you do reverts, by the way? Do you create a reverse patch from a hash, and commit it on top to develop ?
I’m very careful, so I create a new branch and revert on that, then merge the branch in.
1. checkout and pull develop 2. cut new branch 3. git revert <commit hash> 4. push to origin and open PR
Exactly the same process as cherry-picks, just with revert instead of cherry-pick
