The command has to be entered in the directory of the repository. The error is complaining that your current directory isn&#39;t a git repo

  1. Are you in the right directory? Does typing `ls` show the right files?
  2. Have you initialized the repository yet? Typed `git init`? ([git-init documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-init))

Either of those would cause your error.

    curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a &quot;bundle&quot;
     of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
     bundle file isn&#39;t adequate, you can specify an alternate file
     using the --cacert option.
    If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
     the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
     problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
     not match the domain name in the URL).
    If you&#39;d like to turn off curl&#39;s verification of the certificate, use
     the -k (or --insecure) option.

How do I get the probability of a string being similar to another string in Python?

I want to get a decimal value like 0.9 (meaning 90%) etc. Preferably with standard Python and library.

e.g.

    similar(&quot;Apple&quot;,&quot;Appel&quot;) #would have a high prob.
    
    similar(&quot;Apple&quot;,&quot;Mango&quot;) #would have a lower prob.

When I tried to push an existing repository on github.com, and it when I entered the command the website prompted me to put into the terminal, I got this error message                 fatal: 

    Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

If anyone could help me with this, then that would be great, thanks.

Since I installed OS X Mavericks, the result of the command `git diff` is rendering `ESC[xxx` characters like this:

    ESC[1mdiff --git a/console/org.linkedin.glu.console-webapp/decorate-grails-methods-plugin/plugin.xml b/console/org.linkedin.glu.console-webapp/decorate-grails-methods-plugin/plugin.xmlESC[m

    ESC[1m+++ b/console/org.linkedin.glu.console-webapp/decorate-grails-methods-plugin/plugin.xmlESC[m
    ESC[36m@@ -15,14 +15,14 @@ESC[m ESC[mThe purpose of this plugin is to decorate various grails methods.ESC[m

This used to render properly prior to installing Mavericks. I have no clue what is different so any help in troubleshooting would be much appreciated.

Note that the pager used is `less` since when I hit `h` I get the following:

                 SUMMARY OF LESS COMMANDS

    Commands marked with * may be preceded by a number, N.
    Notes in parentheses indicate the behavior if N is given.


How to get rid of ESC[ characters when using git diff on Mac OS X Mavericks?

I have created a branch for testing in my local repo (`test-branch`) which I pushed to `Github`.

If I go to my `Github` account and select this `test-branch` it shows the info:

    This branch is 1 commit ahead and 2 commits behind master

My questions are:

1. How can I display this info locally (ie: a command that shows this on the terminal, rather than having to open `Github` to see it)?
2. I know I can see the diffs between branches using:

        git diff master..test-branch

    or using `Meld` (which I prefer):

        git difftool master..test-branch

    but I was wondering if there&#39;s a way to see the _ahead_ and _behind_ commits separately. I.E.: is there a way to show that _1 commit ahead_ by itself and then those _2 commits behind_ by themselves?

git ahead/behind info between master and branch?

Is it possible to prepare a commit message prior to a commit, meaning that I will type my commit message before the actual commit or during the working dir so that I know what I am working on and I know what this branch or commit will be all about. When I say &quot;before&quot; I do not mean just couple secs before I enter the commit on the commandline. I literally mean right after a commit or at the starting of a branch so that the next commit will automatically inherit the message in the queue or what ever that might be called. 

Naturally I can put these messages during the commit, to me there is a difference. And I can see the argument of well git is not meant for that as well. I am just curious about it.

I also know I can give my branches more meaningful names but I just want a bit space for such purpose. 


Preparing a git commit message before committing?

I am fairly new to `git`, yet currently using it to manage our code in a team environment. I had some rebasing issues, and I fixed them using: 

    git checkout --ours filename.txt
    git add filename.txt
    git rebase --continue

Now I wish to push my changes, and so running the following command: 

    $ git push origin feature/my_feature_branch

Gave me the following error: 

    To ssh://git@coderepo.com:7999/repo/myproject.git
     ! [rejected]        feature/my_feature_branch -&gt; feature/my_feature_branch (non-fast-forward)
    error: failed to push some refs to &#39;ssh://git@coderepo.com:7999/repo/myproject.git&#39;
    hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
    hint: its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (e.g. &#39;git pull&#39;)
    hint: before pushing again.
    hint: See the &#39;Note about fast-forwards&#39; in &#39;git push --help&#39; for details.

What can I do to get rid of this error?

Note: I am avoiding the use of `--force` option as much as possible.
