@chapter Introduction
|
|
|
|
This document aims in giving some quick references on a set of useful git
|
|
commands. You should always use the extensive and detailed documentation
|
|
provided directly by git:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git --help
|
|
man git
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
shows you the available subcommands,
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git <command> --help
|
|
man git-<command>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
shows information about the subcommand <command>.
|
|
|
|
Additional information could be found on the
|
|
@url{http://gitref.org, Git Reference} website
|
|
|
|
For more information about the Git project, visit the
|
|
|
|
@url{http://git-scm.com/, Git website}
|
|
|
|
Consult these resources whenever you have problems, they are quite exhaustive.
|
|
|
|
What follows now is a basic introduction to Git and some Libav-specific
|
|
guidelines to ease the contribution to the project
|
|
|
|
@chapter Basics Usage
|
|
|
|
@section Get GIT
|
|
|
|
You can get git from @url{http://git-scm.com/}
|
|
Most distribution and operating system provide a package for it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section Cloning the source tree
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git clone git://git.libav.org/libav.git <target>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
This will put the Libav sources into the directory @var{<target>}.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git clone git@@git.libav.org:libav.git <target>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
This will put the Libav sources into the directory @var{<target>} and let
|
|
you push back your changes to the remote repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section Updating the source tree to the latest revision
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git pull (--rebase)
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
pulls in the latest changes from the tracked branch. The tracked branch
|
|
can be remote. By default the master branch tracks the branch master in
|
|
the remote origin.
|
|
|
|
@float IMPORTANT
|
|
Since merge commits are forbidden @command{--rebase} (see below) is recommended.
|
|
@end float
|
|
|
|
@section Rebasing your local branches
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git pull --rebase
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
fetches the changes from the main repository and replays your local commits
|
|
over it. This is required to keep all your local changes at the top of
|
|
Libav's master tree. The master tree will reject pushes with merge commits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section Adding/removing files/directories
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git add [-A] <filename/dirname>
|
|
git rm [-r] <filename/dirname>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
GIT needs to get notified of all changes you make to your working
|
|
directory that makes files appear or disappear.
|
|
Line moves across files are automatically tracked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section Showing modifications
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git diff <filename(s)>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
will show all local modifications in your working directory as unified diff.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section Inspecting the changelog
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git log <filename(s)>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
You may also use the graphical tools like gitview or gitk or the web
|
|
interface available at http://git.libav.org/
|
|
|
|
@section Checking source tree status
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git status
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
detects all the changes you made and lists what actions will be taken in case
|
|
of a commit (additions, modifications, deletions, etc.).
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section Committing
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git diff --check
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
to double check your changes before committing them to avoid trouble later
|
|
on. All experienced developers do this on each and every commit, no matter
|
|
how small.
|
|
Every one of them has been saved from looking like a fool by this many times.
|
|
It's very easy for stray debug output or cosmetic modifications to slip in,
|
|
please avoid problems through this extra level of scrutiny.
|
|
|
|
For cosmetics-only commits you should get (almost) empty output from
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git diff -w -b <filename(s)>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Also check the output of
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git status
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
to make sure you don't have untracked files or deletions.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git add [-i|-p|-A] <filenames/dirnames>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have told git your name and email address
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git config --global user.name "My Name"
|
|
git config --global user.email my@@email.invalid
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Use @var{--global} to set the global configuration for all your git checkouts.
|
|
|
|
Git will select the changes to the files for commit. Optionally you can use
|
|
the interactive or the patch mode to select hunk by hunk what should be
|
|
added to the commit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git commit
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Git will commit the selected changes to your current local branch.
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted for a log message in an editor, which is either
|
|
set in your personal configuration file through
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git config --global core.editor
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
or set by one of the following environment variables:
|
|
@var{GIT_EDITOR}, @var{VISUAL} or @var{EDITOR}.
|
|
|
|
Log messages should be concise but descriptive. Explain why you made a change,
|
|
what you did will be obvious from the changes themselves most of the time.
|
|
Saying just "bug fix" or "10l" is bad. Remember that people of varying skill
|
|
levels look at and educate themselves while reading through your code. Don't
|
|
include filenames in log messages, Git provides that information.
|
|
|
|
Possibly make the commit message have a terse, descriptive first line, an
|
|
empty line and then a full description. The first line will be used to name
|
|
the patch by git format-patch.
|
|
|
|
@section Preparing a patchset
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git format-patch <commit> [-o directory]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
will generate a set of patches for each commit between @var{<commit>} and
|
|
current @var{HEAD}. E.g.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git format-patch origin/master
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
will generate patches for all commits on current branch which are not
|
|
present in upstream.
|
|
A useful shortcut is also
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git format-patch -n
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
which will generate patches from last @var{n} commits.
|
|
By default the patches are created in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
@section Sending patches for review
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git send-email <commit list|directory>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
will send the patches created by @command{git format-patch} or directly
|
|
generates them. All the email fields can be configured in the global/local
|
|
configuration or overridden by command line.
|
|
Note that this tool must often be installed separately (e.g. @var{git-email}
|
|
package on Debian-based distros).
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section Renaming/moving/copying files or contents of files
|
|
|
|
Git automatically tracks such changes, making those normal commits.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
mv/cp path/file otherpath/otherfile
|
|
git add [-A] .
|
|
git commit
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
@chapter Libav specific
|
|
|
|
@section Reverting broken commits
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git reset <commit>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@command{git reset} will uncommit the changes till @var{<commit>} rewriting
|
|
the current branch history.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git commit --amend
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
allows to amend the last commit details quickly.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git rebase -i origin/master
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
will replay local commits over the main repository allowing to edit, merge
|
|
or remove some of them in the process.
|
|
|
|
@float NOTE
|
|
@command{git reset}, @command{git commit --amend} and @command{git rebase}
|
|
rewrite history, so you should use them ONLY on your local or topic branches.
|
|
The main repository will reject those changes.
|
|
@end float
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git revert <commit>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@command{git revert} will generate a revert commit. This will not make the
|
|
faulty commit disappear from the history.
|
|
|
|
@section Pushing changes to remote trees
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git push
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Will push the changes to the default remote (@var{origin}).
|
|
Git will prevent you from pushing changes if the local and remote trees are
|
|
out of sync. Refer to and to sync the local tree.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git remote add <name> <url>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Will add additional remote with a name reference, it is useful if you want
|
|
to push your local branch for review on a remote host.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git push <remote> <refspec>
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Will push the changes to the @var{<remote>} repository.
|
|
Omitting @var{<refspec>} makes @command{git push} update all the remote
|
|
branches matching the local ones.
|
|
|
|
@section Finding a specific svn revision
|
|
|
|
Since version 1.7.1 git supports @var{:/foo} syntax for specifying commits
|
|
based on a regular expression. see man gitrevisions
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git show :/'as revision 23456'
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
will show the svn changeset @var{r23456}. With older git versions searching in
|
|
the @command{git log} output is the easiest option (especially if a pager with
|
|
search capabilities is used).
|
|
This commit can be checked out with
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git checkout -b svn_23456 :/'as revision 23456'
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
or for git < 1.7.1 with
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
git checkout -b svn_23456 $SHA1
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
where @var{$SHA1} is the commit hash from the @command{git log} output.
|
|
|
|
@chapter Server Issues
|
|
|
|
Contact the project admins @email{git@@libav.org} if you have technical
|
|
problems with the GIT server.
