PUSH - TORTOISEGIT

This section talks about how to push (i.e., send) changes to another repository. In order to perform a push open the push dialog using TortoiseGit → Push .Pushing changes is also possible using the Sync dialog (cf. the section called “Sync”), however, there you have less options, but the sync dialog allows you to initiate other operations such as pulling and to see diffs and changes. MERGING – TORTOISEGIT – DOCUMENTATION – TORTOISEGIT If you want to merge changes into a branch, you have to have a working tree for that branch checked out, and invoke the merge wizard from that working tree using TortoiseGit → Merge. Figure 2.57. Merge dialog. In general it is a good idea to perform a merge into an unmodified working tree.

STASH CHANGES

The stash is implemented as a stack. Stash Apply will apply the changes of the latest stash to your working tree. Stash Pop does the same, but will remove the latest stash from the stack after applying it. Stash changes is still possible and will stash the current changes of the working copy to the top of the stack. Stash List provides an overview of all the whole stash stack. PULL AND FETCH CHANGE A pull/fetch can be initiated by using TortoiseGit → Pull or TortoiseGit → Fetch.Fetching and pulling changes is also possible using the Sync dialog (cf. the section called “Sync”), however, there you have less options, but the sync dialog allows you to initiate other operations such as pushing and to see diffs and changes. The fetch and pull dialog will open.

BRANCHING/TAGGING

One of the features of version control systems is the ability to isolate changes onto a separate line of development. This line is known as a branch.Branches are often used to try out new features without disturbing the main line of development with compiler errors

and bugs.

CLONE REPOSITORY

URL: Input repository URL address, which you will clone from.You can click Browse to browse directory.. Directory: Input your local directory, which you will clone to.You can click Browse to browse directory.. Depth: Create a shallow clone with a limited history cut at the specified number of commits. Recursive: Submodules are initialized and cloned using their default settings. COPYING/MOVING/RENAMING FILES AND FOLDERS Cannot copy between repositories. Whilst you can copy and files and folders within a repository, you cannot copy or move from one repository to another while preserving history using TortoiseGit. Not even if the repositories live on the same server. All you can do is copy the content in its current state and add it as new content to the

second repository.

CHERRY PICKING

Cherry-picking in TortoiseGit is invoked from the Revision Log Dialog. Within this dialog, select the commit (s) to cherry-pick, then right-click on one of the selected commits to pop up the context menu. Select Cherry Pick this commit (or Cherry Pick select commits if more than one commit is selected).

A separate input box to enter the issue number assigned to the commit, or coloring of the issue number directly in the log message itself. When showing all log messages, an extra column is added with the issue

number.

The left panel displays the ref "types" in a tree such as tags, heads (local branches) and so on. Right panel shows all refs for a selected type (recursively if not disabled using Show nested refs) including the latest commit, description and (for local branches) their remote tracked branch.. At the top there is an edit bar which can be used to filter the displayed refs in the right panel. TORTOISEGIT'S SETTINGS 3) Configure AutoCrLf, this is necessary as TortoiseGit and Cygwin Git have different defaults. The default in Cygwin Git is true. 4) Go to TortoiseGit the section called “Advanced Settings” and set CygwinHack to true in order to activate Cygwin workarounds. 5) Reboot.

TortoiseGit's rebase moves feature to master directly, then cherry-picks the commits.

READING GUIDE

This Preface explains a little about the TortoiseGit project, the community of people who work on it, and the licensing conditions for using it and distributing it.. The Chapter 1, Introduction explains what TortoiseGit is, what it does, where it comes from and the basics for installing it on your PC.. If you need a general introduction to version control with Git, then we recommend two videos

SYNC – TORTOISEGIT – DOCUMENTATION – TORTOISEGIT – WINDOWS Local Branch: The source branch which will push/pull to/from other repository.

REVISION GRAPHS

Each revision graph node represents a revision in the repository where something changed in the tree you are looking at. Different types of nodes can be distinguished by color which can be configured using TortoiseGit → Settings. Note that the graph only shows the points at which items were reference by tag, branch or the other ref. Showing every revision of a project will generate a very CREATING AND APPLYING PATCHES AND PULL REQUESTS Important. Here Git is different to TortoiseSVN: In TortoiseSVN you directly create a patch instead of committing your changes and create a patch of the commits afterwards (in git you have a full local copy/fork of the project you cloned - commits are just local).
