Like in What does GitHub for Windows' "sync" do? What does GitHub for Windows/Mac “publish” do? Does it push the branch to my origin? Does it push the branch to my origin? Yes, but if you don't have an origin yet, it will ask you for the kind of remote repo you want to create. (create... on GitHub of course) See " Push your code to GitHub.com " Click the “ Publish ” button in the upper-right corner and GitHub Desktop will ask you what kind of repository to create: Public repository — Anyone can see a public repository, but you choose who can commit (make changes) to it. You can create as many

GitHub for Windows is showing old README text

醉酒当歌 提交于 2019-12-06 14:28:49
There is a panel on the right that is supposed to show current content of README.MD. However, I noticed that after changing the content of REAMDE.MD is hasn't updated the text in the panel. Is there a way to forcefully refresh it? The version of GitHub for Windows I have is 1.0.41.2 (fd3fd236ac85e622194e88f248576b9fe25d28d4) Yeah, sorry about that. It's a bug and we're working on it. It's currently cached for 30 minutes and sometimes it doesn't expire when it should. The only way to force a refresh currently is to either delete the entire folder at %LocalAppData%\GitHub\BlobCache.api.github

git sync with rebase showing other people's files as modified locally

问题 Our team just moved to use github as our primary code repository, and are going through teething pains. We're all familiar with SVN (our previous repo). We're all committing to the repo's master, and have rebase option turned on (we're all using Github for PC, btw). It's my understanding that with rebase turned on, syncing becomes comparable to doing an "svn up" in that it merges in all changes into your local checkout. Only when there's actually a file merge will you be prompted to handle

Used GitHub GUI to COMMIT&SYNC and everything disappeared

蹲街弑〆低调 提交于 2019-12-06 12:08:34
问题 So in the GitHubGUI, as usual, I did my changes and then clicked Commit&Sync and for a brief moment the "Merge Conflics" dialog popped up and then everything disappeared and I synced the newest changes with the remote repo. Everything I did disappeared. This has happened before after I kept clicking commit&sync after merge errors I tried to fix, but this time literally everything just disappeared like I would have just done a pull command and git wouldn't catch my commit. Is there some way I

I use GitHub client for Bitbucket repository. All work & sync correctly, but Pull Request button not showing. In GitHub repo all works. I found simular issue - Github for Mac: Pull Request Button is missing , but I use Bitbucket and can't change repo marker from "other". Any proposal? GitHub: Other repo: Answer from official github support ( support@github.com ): In order to create a pull request the repository must exist on GitHub.com. and There is a button called 'View Branch' beside the update from master button. If you click this, the 'View from Master' button should change to 'Compare'.

how to restart a git repository

匆匆过客 提交于 2019-12-05 17:16:46
问题 I am a newbie with git – and just realized changes to the .gitignore does not process against the repo “retroactively” – rather affect future ‘git add *’ commands and the like. Once the files are in the repo – they must be manually removed. At this point – I would like just kill this repo entirely – and start over (saving my config, etc.). Is this easily possible or would it cause major problems? Can backup – then delete the .git folder – and start fresh? Also – for others newbies just

Rollback uncommitted changes in GitHub Desktop (or Github for Windows)

问题 I'm using Github Desktop (previously called GitHub for Windows) and I made a bunch of changes to my local files. It became such a mess that I decided I just want to rollback my local files to where they were the last time I made a commit. I haven't committed the new changes - I just want to get rid of them. How can I do this? 回答1: When you open GitHub for Windows v2.0 (ancestor of GitHub Desktop ) and select your repository in the leftmost column, you'll see all your previous commits in the
