cherry-pick

cherry-picking commit - is commit a snapshot or patch?

十年热恋 提交于 2019-12-12 17:23:57
问题 I have a question related to cherry-picking commits and conflicts. The 'Pro Git' book explains that commits are kind of snapshots and not patches/diffs. But cherry-picking commit may behave as it was a patch. Example below, in short: create 3 commits, each time edit first (and single) line of the file reset the branch to first commit test1 : try to cherry-pick third commit (conflict) test 2: try to cherry-pick second commit (OK) mkdir gitlearn cd gitlearn touch file git init Initialized empty

问题 I have 2 branches A and B. Branch B was branched from branch A at some time and multiple users are committing to both branches. I want to cherry pick all my commits (that doesn't already exist in branch A) from branch B to branch A without the need to manually search for every single one. Is it somehow possible? Thanks 回答1: A more straight foreward way would be to use rebase --onto : git rebase --onto target-branch [LAST_COMMON_COMMIT_BEFORE_BRANCH] branch-to-move if your repo looks like this

TFS Branching & Merging Strategies

懵懂的女人 提交于 2019-12-10 21:57:23
问题 I have a Team Project in TFS where tasks are submitted daily. I would like to work on each task independently and then merge it into the main line after testing. Currently there is a MAIN branch and a DEV branch which is a child of MAIN. Changes are worked on in the DEV branch and then merged into MAIN when they are ready. This is done via a "cherry-pick" merge. I've been reading everywhere that cherry-pick merges are bad and you should avoid them whenever possible. I am having trouble

问题 I'm sorry for my question but I'm TFS noob user, what is the equivalent in TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control) of git cherry-pick? 回答1: First, create a patch for the changeset that you want to cherry-pick: tf diff /version:C1234 /format:unified > cherry.patch (Note: be careful about redirecting to a file from PowerShell. It wants to write UTF-16 files which many programs have a hard time coping with.) Then apply the patch using patch: patch -p0 < cherry.patch 回答2: There is one solution

Overriding alternative to cherry-pick

a 夏天 提交于 2019-12-10 10:58:15
问题 There is a cherry-pick command in the git which allows me to copy some commit on top of the current. However, it does some conflict resolution, that I do not care about. What is alternative to cherry-pick which just copies picked commit over on top of current commit? I can do it manually: select desired commit, copy its files, save them into non-managed folder, select current commit which will be the base for new one, copy the archived files into the git working folder. Separately, I have to

问题 I have 2 branches here, say branch1 and branch2. There are lots of new feature added in branch1, and the branch2 is stable. Today, I want to merge just 1 feature from branch1 to branch2. So, I just run git cherry-pick <commit-for-feature1-in-branch1 . I suppose there should be only the change in <commit-for-featur1-in-branch1 will be merged into branch2. But I found there are more changes for other features are included. I thought it will get the diff just for only that specified commit,

Git workflow and Gerrit

我只是一个虾纸丫 提交于 2019-12-09 08:21:34
问题 I am trying to implement a 'git-flow' kind of workflow using Gerrit but I can't seem to figure out the last piece of the puzzle. There are two preconditions to my problem: Gerrit will only perform merging to one branch I do not allow merge commits to be pushed to Gerrit. The merging has to be done by Gerrit after the changes are approved What I want to solve is the following. Consider this git situation: Master 0 \ \ Develop 0-----0-----0-----0 There is a master branch with one commit and a

Cherrypicking versus Rebasing

问题 The following is a scenario I commonly face: You have a set of commits on master or design , that I want to put on top of production branch. I tend to create a new branch with the base as production cherry-pick these commits on it and merge it to production Then when I merge master to production, I face merge conflicts because even tho the changes are same, but are registered as a different commit because of cherry-pick. I have found some workarounds to deal with this, all of which are

Git: how to push changes made to only certain files?

早过忘川 提交于 2019-12-08 08:26:42
问题 I recently ran into a problem where I need to select a few files to push to remote branches with git. My specific use case here is there is only one file created/modified in every single commit, and I need to programatically push the selected files (in their latest state). I did a bit of research and found 2 tricks that came close to what I need to do: I can use cherry-pick to pick certain commits into a new branch and merge that branch into the remote master. I can use rebase -i to reorder

What are the perils of cherry picking in git between two branches A and B if I am never going to merge between them?

一曲冷凌霜 提交于 2019-12-08 04:12:55
问题 I have read the excellent series of posts by Raymond Chen titled Stop cherry-picking, start merging And I totally understand that cherry-picking is evil if we are going to merge the branches afterwards . But suppose I never merge the two branches. Are there any perils of cherry-picking in this case? 回答1: Not exactly "none", but low risk. The only issue remains to pick up a change depending on another change that is not cherry-picked: the resulting merge would not work in the destination
