Delete Last Commit in GIT

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-09-18T20:00:11+00:00

Delete Last Commit in GIT Once in a while late at night when I'm sleepy, I'll commit stuff to my repository that I wish I hadn't. Then I spend the next 10 to 15 minutes searching the Internet how to remove the last commit I made. So after a few times, I decided to record how to do it here so that I refer to it later.

Set an Email Address on Specific Repositories When I work with some clients or employers, they will sometimes provide me with an email address to identify me within their system and source control. If they provide the computer to work on and keep a local repository, I'll have their identity configured on that computer as global identity. Sometimes, they do not provide a computer or I'll work on the code on one of my personal computers in addition to their computer. In those cases, I don't want …

Access GitHub From Behind a Firewall

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-09-18T20:00:11+00:00

Access GitHub From Behind a Firewall I work in a pretty restrictive network that blocks port 22 (SSH) outside of the corporate network. So I usually do all of my work locally, committing my changes during the day, then push my commits when I go home in the evenings. A few times, this has presented issues when other people were waiting on a change that I had finished but was unable to push out

I also wanted to keep all of the history in the sub-directory. These are the steps that I followed to move that sub-directory into a new separate GIT repository.

Integration with Subversion I also use Git as a front-end to SVN repositories. At the most basic level, using Git as a front-end to SVN involves: git svn clone http://svn.repo.com/svn/project/trunk project To get updates from SVN: git svn rebase
