Git tips

Syncing a fork:
Sync a fork of a repository to keep it up-to-date with the upstream repository.

1. git fetch upstream
2. git checkout master
3. git merge upstream/master
4. git push origin master 
5. git checkout home (home is a branch)
6. git rebase master
7. git push origin home

ref: https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/


Sync branch:
git fetch --prune

Update a PR:

1. git reset --hard  (optional)
   Did my changes in code I wanted to do
2. git add
3. git commit --amend
4. git push -f origin 

Cache the password in Git:
git config --global credential.helper cache

ref: https://help.github.com/articles/caching-your-github-password-in-git/#platform-linux

Create a new branch:
git checkout -b office master

Count:
git rev-list --count HEAD --since="March 20 2020"              
git rev-list --count HEAD --since="February 20 2020" --before="March 20 2020"

Create alias:
git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.st status

Move file to untracked file:
git rm welcome.html --cached

Finish and delete branch:

1. git branch -D fcrepo-xxxx
2. git push origin :fcrepo-xxxx

Pull a PR:

1. Get the PR changes into the test branch:> git fetch origin pull/1485/head:test
2. Create a test branch to merge the PR into locally. Assuming you're on the master branch:
   > git checkout test

Change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository

git remote set-url origin NEWURL

Show remote URI 

git config --get remote.origin.url

Delete all commit history

1. Checkout
   git checkout --orphan latest_branch
2. Add all the files
   git add -A
3. Commit the changes
   git commit -am "commit message"
4. Delete the branch
   git branch -D master
5. Rename the current branch to master
   git branch -m master
6. Finally, force update your repository
   git push -f origin master

Show watchers and stargazers URI 

• https://github.com/[user]/[repo]/watchers
• https://github.com/[user]/[repo]/stargazers

Search the latest commit

• git log --graph --all --format=format:'%h - (%ai) %s — %cn %d' --abbrev-commit --date=relative -1
  
  Output: 6080b81 - (2017-11-14 21:41:39 +0000) run characterization on ingested file — Name  (branch name)

• 6080b81 is the commit #

Find branch name by commit #

• git branch --all --contains  6080b81

Sync a branch with master

1. git checkout test
2. git rebase master
3. git push origin +test

Your branch is based on 'origin/master', but the upstream is gone.

1. git remote add origin giturl
2. git push -u origin master

.gitignore template: https://github.com/github/gitignore

Remove previous gitignore files:

git clean -fX

Delete a branch
git branch -D dev
git push origin :dev

Rename a branch
git branch -m old_branch new_branch         # Rename branch locally 
git push origin :old_branch                 # Delete the old branch 
git push --set-upstream origin new_branch   # Push the new branch, set local branch to track the new remote
