git-remote

When I run git push , my local branch some_branch is pushed to a remote branch some_remote\some_branch . When I run git remote show some_remote I get: Local refs configured for 'git push': [cut] some_branch pushes to some_branch I don't want this. How do I remove this entry? Perhaps the simplest answer is to rename your local branch some_branch to another name, e.g. with: git branch -m some_branch a_branch_name_not_present_on_some_remote The reason for this is that git push by default pushes each branch to a branch with a matching name on the remote, if such a branch exists there. If you don't

From Pro Git : you can set up other tracking branches if you wish — ones that don’t track branches on origin and don’t track the master branch. The simple case is the example you just saw, running git checkout -b [branch] [remotename]/[branch] $ git checkout --track origin/serverfix Branch serverfix set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/serverfix. Switched to a new branch "serverfix" $ git checkout -b sf origin/serverfix Branch sf set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/serverfix. Switched to a new branch "sf" My understanding is that this presents a way to create a local

I have moved an SVN repo to Git and probably due to a number of clonings, I'm now left with a bunch of branches that look like BranchA origin/BranchA remotes/BranchA remotes/origin/BranchA remotes/origin/origin/BranchA i.e. the same branch is listed a number of times. How can I clean this mess up. There are > 50 branches, some are not needed at all, and for the rest I'd be happy with just having them once. EDIT: This is what git remote show origin looks like for a certain case: Remote branches: BranchA tracked origin/BranchA tracked ... Local branches configured for 'git pull': origin/BranchA

I recently moved my 'main' remote git repository from code.google to github . Then, I renamed old origin repo to code-google and previously created remote github to origin . So far so good. But... There are still references in .git/refs/remotes : code-google github origin I tried this, but it does not seem to be working: $ git remote prune github --dry-run fatal: 'github' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Why is github still there since it was renamed? Why am I not able to dispose of it? And how can I clean up my repo? This thread mentions that

The protocol between local repository and remote repository is HTTPS instead of ssh,does it still need lib of jsch,and if it's true, can you tell me how to handle in details,thanks so much~~ Even if it isn't used for https access, jsch is still required for JGit. See JGit dependencies . That thread states the same thing , even when cloning an https repo. This blog post deals with a missing jsch library like so: There are 2 ways to solve this problem, depending on your setup. 1.) If you're using ant installed on your machine, example on c:\apache-ant. Just place the jsch.jar in it's lib folder.

Occasionally, my collaborators will "panic" when there is an automatic merge generated as the result a git-pull , and just accept the default commit message. Before this commit gets pushed, I want to be sure the message gets fixed, but --amend seems not to work. What is the best way to fix the message that's generated in this scenario. The best instructions I can come up with for them are git reset --soft HEAD~ git merge -m <message> <the tracked remote branch> but that seems a bit scary ( reset ) and error prone (the remote tracked branch has to be entered explicitly). Is there a simple way
