Use grep or git grep in your local clone. The GitHub search has a lot of limitations. I think the worst of these is that it only shows the first two matches from any file, so I just avoid it whenever possible.
You probably have a negative rule (include-again rule, the one that starts with an !) in your .gitignore file somewhere after the node_modules line. git check-ignore has a bug/ambiguity in the docs. You expect that if git check-ignore node_modules/ prints node_modules/, then node_modules/ is ignored. But actually it prints a pathname if that pathname matches …
From a practical perspective, merging has traditionally been “hard” because of what I call the “big bang merge” problem. Suppose a developer has been working away on some code for a while and hasn’t committed their work yet (maybe the developer is accustomed to working in Subversion against trunk, and doesn’t commit unfinished code). When …
You could use git grep via the command line to search for files containing the windows style newline characters. Using the git bash you can find all files which contain a \r character via the following command (bash only!): git grep -Il $’\r’ Or alternativly (which should work for all shell types – except windows …
You could do this: git ls-tree -r -t -l –full-name HEAD | sort -n -k 4 This will show the largest files at the bottom (fourth column is the file (blob) size. If you need to look at different branches you’ll want to change HEAD to those branch names. Or, put this in a loop …
And yet, branching should work, and will allow you to maintain two separate versions. If you have a bug which applies to the premium version, fix it on master, and merge it on premium branch. Git will only merge what has changed since you branched between master and premium, ie your bug fix. On another …
Yes, you can track the .gitignore file, but you do not have to. The main reason of having this file into repository is to have everyone working on the project, ignoring same files and folders. Also see this: Should you commit .gitignore into the Git repos?
Conflicts are going to happen if both branches have changes to the files. This is a good thing. Keeping your branches up-to-date with each other will prevent some of them . However over all, conflicts are not bad. The rebase option can also prevent many of them from happening. git merge branch_1 If you are …
See the Questions & Answers section of the documentation. It has changed several times, so for the most up to date answer just click that link! But in the StackOverflow spirit of “no link-only answers” here’s a snapshot: Which files should be gitignored? If you’re using Zero-Installs: .yarn/* !.yarn/cache !.yarn/patches !.yarn/plugins !.yarn/releases !.yarn/sdks !.yarn/versions If …
What happen to tag t? Let’s say you created branch x from a commit E and then tagged that commit with tag t. E.g. x (branch) | V A—–B——C——D——E ^ | t (tag) If you remove branch x nothing happens to tag t. git branch -D x The tag still points to commit E. A—–B——C——D——E …
