git-bare

I have a set of GIT repositories that I always have different activities on differrent branches and they are all pushed to github the activities are linked to Redmine and would trigger Redmine to pick up the commits once a push happens. Since the Redmine is not setup to be on the cloud and therefore I can't use the fancy automated github hook to pick up the commits, I have setup the Redmine hook to do a fetch and soft reset to is bare repository when every time a ticket is update. The problem i have then is the processing time because this is what I do each time: # to update master branch git

I have a git repo on my Dropbox, I am using Ubuntu, I have a project which I've cloned via git clone blablabla/Dropbox/blablabla.git and I've pushed for like 500 times to that but all I can pull now from another machine is like first 400 also my blablabla/Dropbox/blablabla.git file is smaller than my local /var/www/blablabla/.git so I guess some files aren pushed and so it seems when I've cloned blablabla/Dropbox/blablabla.git from another machine so how can I properly push now on the first machine so I can pull from the second I also have branches plus git push dropbox shows Up to date Help?

I have two local projects which I manage with git , one being dependent on the other – like this: project A/ ├── project B/ │ ├── file B₁ │ ├── file B₂ │ ├── … It makes sense to me to have project B as a git submodule of project A . Now, I have set up a remote bare repository for project A for backup and sharing purposes. Of course, I want the remote repository to contain all of project B , including its files ( file B₁ , file B₂ , …). But git push and git push --recurse-submodules=on-demand don’t achieve this. Whenever I list the files in my remote repository by git ls-tree -r HEAD , only the

Why can’t I merge into a bare repo? Bare repos don’t have a HEAD or a working tree. In the config file we can see bare=true . You also can’t pull in a bare repo (because pull = fetch & merge and merge doesn't work). However, you can push to a bare repo – why? As far as I know, push also contains a merge, but in this case we can do it well. So, the question could be “how does git merge work?”. Why does it need a HEAD ? What is it doing when merging? As Chronial points out , pushing does fast-forward merges or forced updates, which just moves references/branch pointers to a different commit. In

I know that if I have files in a bare repository, I can access them using git show HEAD:path/to/file . But can I add new content to a bare repository without cloning and modifying a working tree? jthill if I add 1 file, only the 1 file is in that commit, aka we added something new and it's now set in stone There's several convenient ways to add a single-file commit to the tip of the master branch in a bare repo. So it appears i need to create a blob object, attach it to a tree, then attach that tree object to a commit. All the ways to commit anything boil down to doing that, it's just a

Something went really wrong here. Allow me to give the background. Today I try to push to our company default bare msysgit windows server and get a dreaded error message duplicated everywhere in SO about pushing to non-bare . I thought the message was weird, since my server was supposed to be bare. And yesterday it was working just fine. Then I noticed the core.bare is, somehow, set to false ! This was a repo inited with --bare and it never had a " .git " folder in it. And then I go check, and there it is, a .git folder, that to me appeared out of nowhere, to my dismay! I ask the only other
