git-remote

I'm new to Git. I search a lot but nothing found that exactly matches my case. I have a personal WinForms application and in my remote repo there are 3 branches (master and 2 long running branches): master #the common features are here like Core, DAL,... north #customized for A company (long-running) razavi #customized for B company (long-running) At my office PC, I add 2 worktree for those north and razavi branches: $ git worktree list C:/Source/nis a6fb6e1 [master] C:/Source/north ebc7670 [north] C:/Source/razavi eed08a2 [razavi] Everything is OK so far, I decide to work on this project from

This question already has answers here : Error when “git push” to github (5 answers) Possible Duplicate: Error when “git push” to github I tried to push my new branch (let's just call it new_branch ) to remote rep. There is no such branch there yet, but git push origin new_branch:new_branch should create it. When I try to do it, this is what I get: error: src refspec new_branch does not match any. error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@***' I dug through million of questions like this on SO, but none of them specified these two errors at once and they referred only to master branch (I

Let's say I have an Eclipse Project which uses versioning control with EGit and is connected with a remote repository git@myrepo.com:git2013 . In my project, under the local branch newstuff , I create and change some files. Now, I want to push this to a remote branch named newstuff in my remote repository. But my remote repository only holds a branch master . How do I create a new remote branch called newstuff ? PS: Please do not answer with command-line git commands; describe how to do it in EGit. VonC You can follow the section " Configuring upstream push " in order to push a given branch:

This is a common use-case for me, I clone a repository, checkout a branch, do some code changes, make multiple commits, then when its stable, i do a push to remote, eventually the branch gets merged and deleted. and I'm left with a local branch with upstream gone. I was looking for a safe way of deleting all such branches. from the description, it seemed like git remote prune origin is doing this exactly. But it doesn't seem to be working for me. Seeing the following behaviour, the branch encrdb_init has been deleted from remote but the git remote prune origin command does not seem to prune it

Using git fetch --prune deletes local remote tracking branches when the branch on the remote machine has been deleted. Setting remote.origin.prune to true using the following... git config --global fetch.prune true ...makes using the fetch command always implicitly use the --prune option. I am putting together a best-practices/introduction to git for some developers in my group who aren't quite familiar with it. I want to be sure I know this is not a dangerous behavior before advising them to do so. I at least give them a heads up of what to watch out for if there is some extraneous mishap
