[You can now!](http://github.com/blog/699-making-github-more-open-git-backed-wikis)

    git clone https://github.com/user/project.wiki.git

or if you use ssh

    git clone git@github.com:username/project.wiki.git

You can&#39;t check out the wiki but you can set up a website that you can checkout and edit that gets regenerated on a push.

They call it [GitHub Pages][1].  Admittedly, not the same as a wiki though.

I have a web app where the user needs to upload a .zip file.  On the server-side, I am checking the mime type of the uploaded file, to make sure it is `application/x-zip-compressed` or `application/zip`.

This worked fine for me on Firefox and IE.  However, when a coworker tested it, it failed for him on Firefox (sent mime type was something like &quot;`application/octet-stream`&quot;) but worked on Internet Explorer.  Our setups seem to be identical: IE8, FF 3.5.1 with all add-ons disabled, Win XP SP3, WinRAR installed as native .zip file handler (not sure if that&#39;s relevant).

So my question is: **How does the browser determine what mime type to send?**

&lt;i&gt;Please note: I know that the mime type is sent by the browser and, therefore, unreliable.  I am just checking it as a convenience--mainly to give a more friendly error message than the ones you get by trying to open a non-zip file as a zip file, and to avoid loading the (presumably heavy) zip file libraries.&lt;/i&gt;

How is mime type of an uploaded file determined by browser?

Directions from my supervisor:
&quot;I want to avoid putting any logic in the `models.py`.  From here on out, let&#39;s use that as only classes for accessing the database, and keep all logic in external classes that use the models classes, or wrap them.&quot;

I feel like this is the wrong way to go. I feel that keeping logic out of the models just to keep the file small is a bad idea. If the logic is best in the model, that&#39;s where it really should go regardless of file size.

So is there a simple way to just use includes? In PHP-speak, I&#39;d like to propose to the supervisor that we just have `models.py` include() the model classes from other places. Conceptually, this would allow the models to have all the logic we want, yet keep file size down via increasing the number of files (which leads to less revision control problems like conflicts, etc.).

So, is there a simple way to remove model classes from the models.py file, but still have the models work with all of the Django tools? Or, is there a completely different yet elegant solution to the general problem of a &quot;large&quot; models.py file? Any input would be appreciated.

I want to modify and view github wikis with local editor like Emacs, and Google Code wikis can be checked out just like code. Is there any way to checkout github wikis? Or is there any other git repository provider offers such feature?

How can I check out a particular version of one file in git?

I found [this mail on the mailing list][1], which said:

    $ git checkout HEAD~43 Makefile
    $ git reset Makefile

But I don&#39;t understand how to find out &#39;HEAD~43&#39;, if I do a `git log aFile`, how can I find out which &#39;HEAD~43&#39; I should use?

And why do I need to run `git reset` for that file? What does it do?

How can I check out a particular version of one file in Git?

Is there a way to browse and display files in a git repo without cloning it first? I can do those in svn using the commands:
&lt;pre&gt;
svn ls /path/to/repo 
svn cat /path/to/repo/file-in-repo
&lt;/pre&gt;
I can supposedly use git show but doing:
&lt;pre&gt;
git show /path/to/repo
git show HEAD:/path/to/repo
&lt;/pre&gt;
result to 
&lt;pre&gt;
fatal: Not a git repository
&lt;/pre&gt;

Browse and display files in a git repo without cloning

I&#39;m using `git` to manage files in a local directory on a Windows machine - no network is involved here, I&#39;m not pushing or pulling to/from another machine.  My directory has maybe 100 files in it, all test files, pretty small.  When I run `git status`, it regularly takes 20-30 seconds to complete.  Is this normal?  Is there anything I can do to speed it up, or a better way to see what the state of my repository is (changed files, untracked files, etc)?  Other `git` commands seem to complete much faster.

Git Status Takes a Long Time to Complete

My usual workflow when working with git, is something like this:

1. create a local repository
1. do some work in that repository, add/change files etc.
1. decide that I want a central remote location for the repository, and create one
1. push all the commits from my local repository to this new remote repository

Now, however, I want to be able to `push` and `pull` from this remote repository without having to specify where I&#39;m pushing to or pulling from; I want my local master to track the remote master.

The *proper* way to do this isn&#39;t clear to me, and I&#39;ve been unable to determine it from the documentation, even though it shouldn&#39;t really be more than one command.

Because it&#39;s something that&#39;s only ever done once per repository, I&#39;ve generally employed one of two simple, but hacky, solutions:

1. used `git clone` to make a new local repository, and deleted the old one. After git cloning, the new repository is setup to track the origin.
1. manually edited .git/config to make master track origin.

I think I should be able to run a command, probably some form of `git remote` to setup an existing repository to have master track a remote master. Can anyone tell me what that command is?

Getting existing git branches to track remote branches

I usually submit a list of commits for review. If I have the following commits:

1. `HEAD`
2. `Commit3`  
3. `Commit2`  
4. `Commit1`

...I know that I can modify head commit with `git commit --amend`. But how can I modify `Commit1`, given that it is not the `HEAD` commit?

How to modify a specified commit?

I have my project on GitHub at some location, `git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git`.

Now I want to push all my code to a new repository at some other location, `git@github.com:newname/newrep.git`.

I used the command:

    git remote add origin git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git

but I am receiving this:

&gt; fatal: remote origin already exists.


Remote origin already exists on &#39;git push&#39; to a new repository

I have a project on github that I have been working on before.  However, I wiped out my computer and I am wondering which git command should I invoke under my username to checkout my project again so that I can push my latest changes to github under my account.

How do I pull my project from github?

I&#39;ve got a project checked locally from GitHub, and that remote repository has since had changes made to it. What&#39;s the correct command to update my local copy with the latest changes?


Updating a local repository with changes from a GitHub repository

I&#39;d like to include a file in my .gitconfig that has my github settings - is this possible?

Can I do something like this:

    [core]
        include = /path/to/file




Is it possible to include a file in your .gitconfig

Is it somehow possible to **automatically** have a link to GitHub issue number in the `git commit` message?
