"content": "GIT URLS In general, URLs contain information about the transport protocol, the\naddress of the remote server, and the path to the repository.\nDepending on the transport protocol, some of this information may be\nabsent. Git supports ssh, git, http, and https protocols (in addition, ftp\nand ftps can be used for fetching, but this is inefficient and\ndeprecated; do not use them). The native transport (i.e. git:// URL) does no authentication and\nshould be used with caution on unsecured networks. The following syntaxes may be used with them: ssh:// [ <user> @ ] <host> [ : <port> ] / <path-to-git-repo> git:// <host> [: <port> ] / <path-to-git-repo> http [ s ] :// <host> [ : <port> ] / <path-to-git-repo> ftp [ s ] :// <host> [ : <port> ] / <path-to-git-repo> An alternative scp-like syntax may also be used with the ssh protocol: [ <user> @ ] <host> :/ <path-to-git-repo> This syntax is only recognized if there are no slashes before the\nfirst colon. This helps differentiate a local path that contains a\ncolon. For example the local path foo:bar could be specified as an\nabsolute path or ./foo:bar to avoid being misinterpreted as an ssh\nurl. The ssh and git protocols additionally support ~ <username> expansion: ssh:// [ <user> @ ] <host> [ : <port> ] /~ <user> / <path-to-git-repo> git:// <host> [ : <port> ] /~ <user> / <path-to-git-repo> [ <user> @ ] <host> :~ <user> / <path-to-git-repo> For local repositories, also supported by Git natively, the following\nsyntaxes may be used: /path/to/repo.git/ file:///path/to/repo.git/ These two syntaxes are mostly equivalent, except the former implies --local option. git clone , git fetch and git pull , but not git push , will also\naccept a suitable bundle file. See git-bundle . When Git doesn’t know how to handle a certain transport protocol, it\nattempts to use the remote- <transport> remote helper, if one\nexists. To explicitly request a remote helper, the following syntax\nmay be used: <transport> :: <address> where <address> may be a path, a server and path, or an arbitrary\nURL-like string recognized by the specific remote helper being\ninvoked. See gitremote-helpers for details. If there are a large number of similarly-named remote repositories and\nyou want to use a different format for them (such that the URLs you\nuse will be rewritten into URLs that work), you can create a\nconfiguration section of the form: [url \" <actual-url-base> \"]\n\t\tinsteadOf = <other-url-base> For example, with this: [url \"git://git.host.xz/\"]\n\t\tinsteadOf = host.xz:/path/to/\n\t\tinsteadOf = work: a URL like \"work:repo.git\" or like \"host.xz:/path/to/repo.git\" will be\nrewritten in any context that takes a URL to be \"git://git.host.xz/repo.git\". If you want to rewrite URLs for push only, you can create a\nconfiguration section of the form: [url \" <actual-url-base> \"]\n\t\tpushInsteadOf = <other-url-base> For example, with this: [url \"ssh://example.org/\"]\n\t\tpushInsteadOf = git://example.org/ a URL like \"git://example.org/path/to/repo.git\" will be rewritten to\n\"ssh://example.org/path/to/repo.git\" for pushes, but pulls will still\nuse the original URL."

"role": "assistant",
"content": "Okay, first a few terms slightly oversimplified. \nIn git, a tag (like many other things) is what's called a treeish. It's a way of referring to a point in in the history of the project. Treeishes can be a tag, a commit, a date specifier, an ordinal specifier or many other things. \nNow a branch is just like a tag but is movable. When you are \"on\" a branch and make a commit, the branch is moved to the new commit you made indicating it's current position. \nYour HEAD is pointer to a branch which is considered \"current\". Usually when you clone a repository, HEAD will point to master which in turn will point to a commit. When you then do something like git checkout experimental, you switch the HEAD to point to the experimental branch which might point to a different commit. \nNow the explanation.\nWhen you do a git checkout v2.0, you are switching to a commit that is not pointed to by a branch. The HEAD is now \"detached\" and not pointing to a branch. If you decide to make a commit now (as you may), there's no branch pointer to update to track this commit. Switching back to another commit will make you lose this new commit you've made. That's what the message is telling you. \nUsually, what you can do is to say git checkout -b v2.0-fixes v2.0. This will create a new branch pointer at the commit pointed to by the treeish v2.0 (a tag in this case) and then shift your HEAD to point to that. Now, if you make commits, it will be possible to track them (using the v2.0-fixes branch) and you can work like you usually would. There's nothing \"wrong\" with what you've done especially if you just want to take a look at the v2.0 code. If however, you want to make any alterations there which you want to track, you'll need a branch.\nYou should spend some time understanding the whole DAG model of git. It's surprisingly simple and makes all the commands quite clear."

"content": "TL;DR\nWith git ls-remote you can get a list of references from a remote repository.\nTo see what the latest version is, look at the last line of output from:\ngit -c 'versionsort.suffix=-' ls-remote --tags --sort='v:refname' <repository>\n\nTo only output the latest tag (for instance in a shell script) of a repository that uses Semantic Versioning use:\ngit -c 'versionsort.suffix=-' \\\n ls-remote --exit-code --refs --sort='version:refname' --tags <repository> '*.*.*' \\\n | tail --lines=1 \\\n | cut --delimiter='/' --fields=3\n\nFor older versions of Git that don't have the --sort flag (pre v2.18), or versions that don't support versionsort.suffix (pre v2.4) use:\ngit ls-remote --refs --tags <repository> \\\n | cut --delimiter='/' --fields=3 \\\n | tr '-' '~' \\\n | sort --version-sort \\\n | tail --lines=1\n\nOlder versions of sort that don't have the --version-sort flag are out of scope for this question...\n\nThe long version\nTags only\nUsing --tags makes sure the list only contains tag references.\nThis will include both referenced and de-referenced tags. That means some tags will have ^{} at the end of the refname. (For more information about that see this question elsewhere on StackOverflow.)\nFor human consumption this doesn't matter much, but if you don't want to see those ^{}'s add --refs.\nSorting\nIt is possible sort the list of references using --sort.\nThe sort option uses the same sort keys as git for-each-ref. As we don't have all of the information locally, not all of the options are available to us (for instance date related sort keys).\nWe want to use version sort, based on the reference name. To do so, we use the version:refname key. This can also be abbreviated to v:refname.\nThis will sort the versions ascending, meaning the latest version will be last.\nTo reverse the list prepend the sort key with -: --sort='-v:refname'.\nPre-release sorting\nAt this point, version-sort will place release candidates (for instance v2.28.0-rc2) after the stable version that they should come in front of.\nSince v2.12 we can use a configuration flag that tells Git to sort refnames with a specific character suffix after references without that character suffix: git -c 'versionsort.suffix=-'.\nTo always use versionsort.suffix like this, it can be set globally:\ngit config --global 'versionsort.suffix' '-'\n\nBetween v2.4 and v2.12 the flag is called versionsort.prereleaseSuffix.\nSorting in older versions of Git\nFor older Git versions a trick can be used: a dash character - is sorted before a space but a tilde ~ is sorted after a space.\nSo by replacing the dash - with a tilde ~, things get sorted in the right order. This can be done using tr '-' '~'\nOne line only\nAs we don't really care for all of the output, other than the last line, we only show the tail: tail --lines=1. Of course, if the list is retrieved in descending order (with --sort='-v:refname'), this would be: head --lines=1.\nJust the Refname\nThe output from the ls-remote command also outputs the reference hash:\nada126bd28d66c8c8ff5966a52d63ce2c9e4d031 refs/tags/v2.28.0-rc0\n\nTo only see the actual tag (i.e. the reference name), we can cut of the first part of the line: cut --delimiter='/' --fields=3\nReference filter\nThe last thing to note is that ls-remote can be given a filter to only show reference that match the filter pattern. For instance, for Semantic Versioning we could use: '*.*.*'. Anything that does not match that pattern will not be shown.\nIf the repository always prefixes a version tag with a v, it could be narrowed down further to 'v*.*.*'.\nAnother example is to only retrieve the latest tag for a specific main version. For instance, to only see tags for verion 2 of a repo, we could use 'v2.*'.\nMake sure to use quotes around the filter, otherwise that star * will cause you trouble!\nReference not found\nWhen using a filter it is a good idea to use the --exit-code flag.\nThis is because Git will always exit with status code 0 to indicate it successfully talked with the remote repository.\nFor human consumption this is fine, as you'll see on the screen if any refs have been found.\nIf this code is used in a shell script, however, that can be problematic.\nGit can be told to use status code 2 when no matching refs are found in the remote repository. This is done by using the --exit-code flag.\nThat way a script will know when something goes wrong!\nObviosuly, if no filter is used, using --exit-code does not really make sense.\nTime for an example!\nLets say we wanted to know what the latest tag of Git is.\nWe would do:\ngit ls-remote --sort='version:refname' --tags https://github.com/git/git.git\n\nThat would return a long list with all the tags in order, as shown below (truncated for sanity's sake).\n ...\n\n4c8bcdda4d6e4757caf876ddc401b5392e874e21 refs/tags/v2.28.0\nada126bd28d66c8c8ff5966a52d63ce2c9e4d031 refs/tags/v2.28.0-rc0\nbd42bbe1a46c0fe486fc33e82969275e27e4dc19 refs/tags/v2.28.0-rc0^{}\n49bfe36405d1631a303992cac5cc408980a0454e refs/tags/v2.28.0-rc1\n3ddac3d691c3633cd4d9a74c07e3b2301f546f77 refs/tags/v2.28.0-rc1^{}\n84a0d5cc2107b83a791aa4034cc54874e1d50668 refs/tags/v2.28.0-rc2\nb066807397fd55553f4910ede74839e319b661fd refs/tags/v2.28.0-rc2^{}\n47ae905ffb98cc4d4fd90083da6bc8dab55d9ecc refs/tags/v2.28.0^{}\n\nThis tells us the latest tag is v2.28.0.\nAnother example would be to set versionsort.suffix globally and then get just the last tag:\ngit config --global 'versionsort.suffix' '-'\n\ngit ls-remote --refs --sort=':refname' --tags https://github.com/git/git.git \\\n | tail --lines=1 | cut --delimiter='/' --fields=3\n\nNow, let's see if there is already a version 3 of Git!\n$ git ls-remote --exit-code --refs --tags https://github.com/git/git.git 'v3.*'\n$ echo $?\n2 # nope, not yet"

However recently when fetching from a shallow clone, it's now inefficiently fetches the entire >2GB repository. This is an untenable waste of bandwidth for deployments.\nThe git documentation says you cannot fetch from a shallow repository, though that's strictly not true. Are there any workarounds to make a git clone --depth 1 able to fetch just what's changed from it? Or some other strategy to keep the distribution size as small as possible whilst having all the bits git needs to do an update?\nI have unsuccessfully tried cloning from --depth 20 to see if it will upgrade more efficiently, that didn't work.

I see the doc doesn't really highlight that git clone does a fetch. \nWhen you fetch, the two repos swap info on who has what by starting from the remote's heads and searching backward for the most recent shared commit in the fetched refs' histories, then filling in all the missing objects to complete just the new commits between the most recent shared commits and the newly fetched ones.\nA --depth=1 fetch just gets the branch tips and no prior history. Further fetches of those histories will fetch everything new by the above procedure, but if the previously-fetched commits aren't in the newly fetched history, fetch will retrieve all of it -- unless you limit the fetch with --depth.\nYour client did a depth=1 fetch from one repo and switched urls to a different repo. At least one long ancestry path in this new repo's refs apparently shares no commits with anything currently in your repo. That might be worth investigating, but either way unless there's some particular reason, your clients can just do every fetch --depth=1."

I am currently using Beanstalk for my remote repo.\nAdding all of the WordPress files to my repo is no problem, if I wanted to I know I could .gitignore the wp-config file, but since I'm the only developer, currently, and these projects are closed source, it really makes little sense.\nWordPress relies heavily on the database, as any CMS does, to keep textual content, and many settings depending on the specific plugin/theme configuration I'm using. I'm wondering what the best way of using version control on the database would be, if it's even possible. I guess I could do a SQL dump, though my MySQL server is running on Windows (read as: I don't know how to do it), and then add the SQL dump to my repository. But when I push something live, that poses huge security threats.\nIs there an accepted practice of doing this?"

{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "You can backup your database within a git repository. Of course, if you place the data into git in a binary form, you will lose all of git's ability to efficiently store the data using diffs (changes). So the number one best practice is this: store the data in a text serialised format.\nmysqldump is a suitable program to help you do this. It isn't perfect though. If anything disturbs the serialisation order of items (eg. as a result of creating new tables, etc.) then artificial breaks will enter into the diff. That will decrease the efficiency of storage. You could write a custom serialiser to serialise changes only -- but then you are doing the hard work that git is already good at. Just use the sql dump.\nThat being said, what you are wanting to do isn't what devs normally mean when they talk about putting the database in git. For instance, if you read the link posted by @eggyal (link to codinghorror) you will see that what is actually placed in git are the scripts needed to generate the initial database. There may be additional scripts, like those to populate the database data with a clean state, or to populate it with testing data. All such sql scripts are text files, and pretty much the same format as the sql dump you would get from mysqldump. So there's no reason you can't do it that way with your day-to-day data as well."

It seems like I don't get a different exit condition whether the tests pass or fail, but I may be looking in the wrong place.\nEdit: Is this something uncommon that I want to do here? I would have thought it was a common requirement...\nEdit2: Just in case people can't be bothered to read the comments, the problem was that unittest.TextTestRunner doesn't exit with non-zero status, whether the test suite is successful or not. To catch it, I did:\nresult = runner.run(allTests)\nif not result.wasSuccessful():\n sys.exit(1)"

"content": "I would check to make sure that each step of the way, your script returns a non-zero exit code on failure. Check to see if your python3.1 foo.py --test returns a non-zero exit code if a test fails. Check to make sure your make test command returns a non-zero exit code. And finally, check that your pre-commit hook itself returns a non-zero exit code on failure.\nYou can check for a non-zero exit code by adding || echo $? to the end of a command; that will print out the exit code if the command failed.\nThe following example works for me (I'm redirecting stderr to /dev/null to avoid including too much extraneous output here):\n$ python3.1 test.py 2>/dev/null || echo $?\n1\n$ make test 2>/dev/null || echo $?\npython3.1 test.py\n2\n$ .git/hooks/pre-commit 2>/dev/null || echo $?\npython3.1 test.py\n1\n\ntest.py:\nimport unittest\n\nclass TestFailure(unittest.TestCase):\n def testFail(self):\n assert(False)\n\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n unittest.main()\n\nMakefile:\ntest:\n python3.1 test.py\n\n.git/hooks/pre-commit:\n#!/bin/sh\nmake test || exit 1\n\nNote the || exit 1. This isn't necessary if make test is the last command in the hook, as the exit status of the last command will be the exit status of the script. But if you have later checks in your pre-commit hook, then you need to make sure you exit with an error; otherwise, a successful command at the end of the hook will cause your script to exit with a status of 0."

When you click the connect button in the toolbar (looks like a power plug), make sure your repository is listed under Local Git Repositories, or use the clone option to clone a repository to your system.\n\nWhen you click clone you can enter an existing GitHub repository location, use the \"HTTPS\" location of your repository. Visual Studio doesn't support SSH. You can use the location picker on your GtiHub repository page to get the right clone url.\n\n\nThen finally, on the Unsynced Commits tab you can click Sync to synchronize your local repository with the remote, this will ask for your GitHub credentials.\n\nIf you want to create a new repository from scratch, I have not the slightest idea of how to do that from the UI, but after creating an empty repository on GitHub, you should be able to add a new remote from the commandline. Visual Studio will then pick up that remote and allow you to push into it.\nSee the following steps on github to initialize an empty repository and setup the link between your local repository and github. Once you've done that, the repository should show up in Visual Studio as well (if it doesn't, add it using the add option on the connect page of Team Explorer)."

On the receiving end, readers\ncan save interesting patches in a UNIX mailbox and apply them with git-am . When a patch is part of an ongoing discussion, the patch generated by git format-patch can be tweaked to take advantage of the git am\n--scissors feature. After your response to the discussion comes a\nline that consists solely of \" -- >8 -- \" (scissors and perforation),\nfollowed by the patch with unnecessary header fields removed: ...\n> So we should do such-and-such.\n\nMakes sense to me. How about this patch?\n\n-- >8 --\nSubject: [IA64] Put ia64 config files on the Uwe Kleine-König diet\n\narch/arm config files were slimmed down using a python script\n... When sending a patch this way, most often you are sending your own\npatch, so in addition to the \" From $SHA1 $magic_timestamp \" marker you\nshould omit From: and Date: lines from the patch file. The patch\ntitle is likely to be different from the subject of the discussion the\npatch is in response to, so it is likely that you would want to keep\nthe Subject: line, like the example above. Checking for patch corruption Many mailers if not set up properly will corrupt whitespace. Here are\ntwo common types of corruption: Empty context lines that do not have any whitespace. Non-empty context lines that have one extra whitespace at the\nbeginning. One way to test if your MUA is set up correctly is: Send the patch to yourself, exactly the way you would, except\nwith To: and Cc: lines that do not contain the list and\nmaintainer address. Save that patch to a file in UNIX mailbox format. Call it a.patch,\nsay. Apply it: $ git fetch <project> master:test-apply\n$ git switch test-apply\n$ git restore --source=HEAD --staged --worktree :/\n$ git am a.patch If it does not apply correctly, there can be various reasons. The patch itself does not apply cleanly. That is bad but\ndoes not have much to do with your MUA. You might want to rebase\nthe patch with git-rebase before regenerating it in\nthis case. The MUA corrupted your patch; \"am\" would complain that\nthe patch does not apply. Look in the .git/rebase-apply/ subdirectory and\nsee what patch file contains and check for the common\ncorruption patterns mentioned above. While at it, check the info and final-commit files as well.\nIf what is in final-commit is not exactly what you would want to\nsee in the commit log message, it is very likely that the\nreceiver would end up hand editing the log message when applying\nyour patch. Things like \"Hi, this is my first patch.\\n\" in the\npatch e-mail should come after the three-dash line that signals\nthe end of the commit message."

It can be more efficient to handle all of the \"smudge' filters for a checkout in a more batched manner, and git added support for that relatively recently.\nThe use case that (I believe) drove that addition is called LFS. With LFS, large content is stored in a secondary repo, with small placeholders (\"pointer files\") replacing them in the core repo. The \"smudge\" filter downloads the real content and puts it in place of the pointer file. This is most likely what your repo is doing, and it can be a lengthy process.\nIn general, though, the 'filtering' status line just means that a batch of smudge filters is being run on the checked-out cotent."

Another way is to simply attach temporary branch labels to the commits you want to test, and then use the --contains option for git branch:\ngit branch --contains <commit-to-test>\n\nThe output will be all branches that contain the commit somewhere in their commit tree, so by using a temporary branch on the other commit, you can see if the commit you're testing is an ancestor.\nFrom the documentation:\n\n--contains [<commit>]\n\nOnly list branches which contain the specified commit (HEAD if not specified)."
