Git on Time Friend

A Bug Caused by .gitattributes File from Two Years Ago

Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:33:33 +0000

Cause

On a whim, I opened a frontend project I wrote two years ago to start code review. I wrote this project alone for two years, roughly over a hundred thousand lines of code.

Found that Git in this project recognized all code files as binary files. This problem had troubled me for a long time, but I couldn’t find the cause. This led to my code having no diff history.

Git Case-Insensitive Causing Annoying Problem

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 19:33:33 +0000

Because a colleague changed a folder name from lowercase to uppercase, I couldn’t directly push, rebase and other operations locally. Very annoying~

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
 xxx.js
Please move or remove them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

Solution

Set to case-sensitive (must restore configuration after problem is solved)

git config core.ignorecase false

Although setting case-sensitive will always affect code in other branches, so it’s not recommended to use this configuration permanently. After the problem is solved, it should be changed back.

Git Delete All Commit History Solution

If your previous project committed some sensitive data, or you want to clear previous commit history, here’s the solution.

# 1. Check out a new branch
git checkout --orphan latest_branch

# 2. Stage all files
git add -A

# 3. Commit the staged files
git commit -am "commit message"


# 4. Delete the original branch
git branch -D master

# 5. Rename the current branch
git branch -m master

# 6. Push your history to the remote repository
git push -f origin master

Git Push Stuck Solution

The blog’s daily English is directly scraped from Shanbay English. To avoid directly requesting proxy interfaces (which would be relatively slow). So my program generates corresponding data files every day, and the frontend directly gets them via ajax. Blog content is also automatically published every day, achieving the effect of updating famous quotes and sentences daily. Haven’t checked for a long time, found many git commits weren’t pushed. After manually pushing, found there were over 800 modifications not pushed.

Basic Usage

Usually add <path> to the index library through the form git add <path>,

<path> can be a file or a directory:

If there are many changes, you can use the following command to add all changed files at once:

 git add -A .

Add all modifications to the staging area, including new files and edited files, excluding deleted files:

$ git add .

Means add all content:
