This is a note page for Git usage that I most likely cant remember how to issue the commands for the tasks.

% git checkout -b new-commit after-this-commit-in-master-branch
% # doing stuff for the new commit
% git commit
% git rebase new-commit master

% git reset --hard

% git checkout this-branch
% git reset --hard to-this-point

I believe the title says it all about this blog post.

I love --amend, but sometimes, well, most of times, the commit message is just the same, there is no need to edit it. We are just forgetting to add files or simply fix some typos.

I found out how to keep the message via tab-completion, then I was disappointed, because you have to use --no-edit, no shortened option now for use. I was hoping something like -M.

For me, let Git bring up editor and save and quit is the faster way, but still good to know this option. As for Mercurial (Hg), it has --amend, but no equivalent --no-edit.

gitfiti, an interesting idea to paint graffiti on GitHubs commit history calendar, though it probably doesnt have much practical value beside becacuse its fun and I can do it!

Anyway, I wasnt going to write about it because I didnt want to create repositories just for fun. But I remembered my vcsstat.sh project, and if you combine both, you can have:

The creation of gitfiti wasnt quite clear when I started. There were five repositories in the screenshot. I used five because its easier if I messed up with week offset, I could just delete a repository and recreate with correct week offset. Anyway, with vcsstat.sh, two extra modes.

There seemed to be some calculation issue with vcsstat.sh, some days colors are off, but Im not up to fix it.

git st

git config --global --add alias.st status

[alias]
   st = status

git checkout gh-pages
git pull . gh-pages
git push
git checkout master

git push origin master:gh-pages

<refspec>...
    The format of a <refspec> parameter is an optional plus +, followed by the source ref <src>, followed by a colon :,
    followed by the destination ref <dst>. It is used to specify with what <src> object the <dst> ref in the remote
    repository is to be updated.
    [...]
    The <dst> tells which ref on the remote side is updated with this push. Arbitrary expressions cannot be used here, an
    actual ref must be named. If :<dst> is omitted, the same ref as <src> will be updated.

git push origin :remote-branch

Here is the quick stuff to understand what this is:

$ vcsstat.sh -h

vcsstat.sh [''|AUTHOR_NAME [''|HG_DATESPEC [''|GIT_SINCE [''|GIT_UNTIL]]]]

Every argument is basically optional, however you need to use '' to indicate
that you are not specifying it.

HG_DATESPEC Examples
====================

  "2011-08"
  "2011-01 to 2011-03" # Jan. to Mar. in 2011
  ">2011-05"           # Since May.
  "-3"                 # Last three days

See hg manpage for DATE FORMATS section.

GIT_SINCE and GIT_UNTIL Examples
================================

  "2011-01-23"
  "yesterday"
  "2 weeks ago"

See..., uhm I have no idea where to look at. gitrevisions manpage for
date specification, perhaps?

You can grab the script here.

The script will list all directories and look for VCSes special hidden directory. Currently (and probably only will be), it only supports Git and Mercurial (Hg). As you can see, there are two types datespec used. Git and Hg have some differences, I need to separate into two.

Its MITd and hosted on GitHub, feel free to request features or even better, open pull requests! (Patch might be more suitable, or you need to publicly fork my dotfiles on GitHub).

I wrote this because I believed I had caffeine overdose (xD), but clearly, from the screenshot above, I didnt have.

Gotta have my cup, gotta have caffeine!

Shoot! Its already Saturday.

(I know, I know its old but still have too much caffeine in my brain, thats all I can come up with. ;)

Edit: Damn forgot this blogs timezone is set to Pacific time Its still FRIDAY, YEAH!
