To copy the folder over:

    $ git checkout work
    Switched to branch &#39;work&#39;
    $ git checkout master -- utils
    $ git add utils
    $ git commit -m &quot;Adding &#39;utils&#39; directory from &#39;master&#39; branch.&quot;
    [work 9fcd968] Adding &#39;utils&#39; directory from &#39;master&#39; branch.
    &#160;1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
    &#160;create mode 100644 utils/file

If you want to delete it on `master` after that:

    $ git checkout master
    Switched to branch &#39;master&#39;
    $ git rm -r utils
    rm &#39;utils/file&#39;
    $ git commit -m &quot;Removing &#39;utils&#39; directory.&quot;
    [master c786f95] Removing &#39;utils&#39; directory.
     1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
     delete mode 100644 utils/file

Then you can just `git push` as necessary.  Git&#39;s output in your project may be different; I just made a simple test repo here with only one file in the `utils` directory.


Is there a way to specify search and replace range using the current line as a reference?
I can specify range using explicit line numbers like

    :5,15s/foo/bar/g

to do the search and replace on only lines 5 to 15.  How to specify a range like &quot;from the current line to 10 lines below (or above) the current line&quot;?

I know this is pretty common question, but still new for me!

I don&#39;t understand concept of dangling pointer, was googling around, and writing test methods to find one.

I just wonder is this a dangling pointer? As whatever example I found was returning something, here I&#39;m trying something similar!

Thanks!
  
&lt;!-- language: lang-cxx --&gt;

    void foo(const std::string name)
    {
        // will it be Dangling pointer?!, with comments/Answer
        // it could be if in new_foo, I store name into Global.
        // Why?! And what is safe then?
        new_foo(name.c_str());
    }
    
    void new_foo(const char* name)
    {
        // print name or do something with name...   
    }

I am trying to rename files from foobar.php to FooBar.php which is quite a challenge in Git. So far I have found out that I had to set up the git config value of `ignorecase` to `false` (why it was set to true on Mac OS X, anyway?). I have managed to rename those files successfully in my local repository, but after I pushed it to BitBucket I&#39;ve got `FooBar.php` as well as `foobar.php` there. How do I get rid of these duplicates? Thanks.

Github really seems to want us to use the HTTPS protocol to use Gists, for example, they only list the HTTPS url on a Gist page - e.g. https://gist.github.com/donatello/5834862

Is it possible to clone a Gist using SSH protocol?

I&#39;ve found myself in this situation a couple of times lately, and I&#39;m not totally sure how best to handle it.

So I have a fork of a git repository that I&#39;m contributing to. I keep my master branch synced with the upstream master branch.

When I want to work on a new feature, bugfix, etc, I create a branch from my master and do any work. When I&#39;m done, I merge in any changes that have been made to upstream master in the meantime, and then send a pull request from my feature/bugfix branch to the upstream master.

Now, while I&#39;m waiting for that pull request to be accepted, I want to work on something slightly different. However, the new feature work needs the bugfix/new feature that I just sent the pull request for. I need to build on it.

How do I branch/merge/handle branches in such a way that I can work on the continuation, while still being able to merge/pull request in my changes in a clean way once the first pull request is accepted into master?

This is all using Github, although I imagine the answer would be applicable to Git in general.

What does git `--set-upstream` do? 

I tried to understand it by reading the [git manual][1], but I didn&#39;t quite get it.

What does &#39;--set-upstream&#39; do?

I had to quickly switch git branches, so I ran `git stash`, but I had to run it again because one of my files needed editing.

So I&#39;ve run `git stash` twice, and I&#39;m ready to go back to editing my files. I ran `git stash apply` but I&#39;m not convinced that all of the files I had stashed were unstashed. Is there anything I can do? Any way to check? 

When I run `git stash show`, I just see the last of my two git stashes.

Is there anyway to show all `git stashes`?

Git stash twice

I am creating a `setup.py` file for a project which depends on private GitHub repositories.  The relevant parts of the file look like this:

    from setuptools import setup
    setup(name=&#39;my_project&#39;,
        ...,
        install_requires=[
            &#39;public_package&#39;,
            &#39;other_public_package&#39;,
            &#39;private_repo_1&#39;,
            &#39;private_repo_2&#39;,
        ],
        dependency_links=[
            &#39;https://github.com/my_account/private_repo_1/master/tarball/&#39;,
            &#39;https://github.com/my_account/private_repo_2/master/tarball/&#39;,
        ],
        ...,
    )

I am using `setuptools` instead of `distutils` because the latter does not support the `install_requires` and `dependency_links` arguments per [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9810603/adding-install-requires-to-setup-py-when-making-a-python-package) answer.

The above setup file fails to access the private repos with a 404 error - which is to be expected since GitHub returns a 404 to unauthorized requests for a private repository.  However, I can&#39;t figure out how to make `setuptools` authenticate.

Here are some things I&#39;ve tried:

1. Use `git+ssh://` instead of `https://` in `dependency_links` as I would if installing the repo with `pip`.  This fails because setuptools doesn&#39;t recognize this protocol (&quot;unknown url type: git+ssh&quot;), though the [distribute documentation](http://pythonhosted.org/distribute/setuptools.html#dependencies-that-aren-t-in-pypi) says it should.  Ditto `git+https` and `git+http`.

2. `https://&lt;username&gt;:&lt;password&gt;@github.com/...` - still get a 404.  (This method doesn&#39;t work with `curl` or `wget` from the command line either - though `curl -u &lt;username&gt; &lt;repo_url&gt; -O &lt;output_file_name&gt;` does work.)

3. Upgrading setuptools (0.9.7) and virtualenv (1.10) to the latest versions.  Also tried installing distribute though [this overview](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6344076/differences-between-distribute-distutils-setuptools-and-distutils2) says it was merged back into setuptools.  Either way, no dice.

Currently I just have `setup.py` print out a warning that the private repos must be downloaded separately.  This is obviously less than ideal.  I feel like there&#39;s something obvious that I&#39;m missing, but can&#39;t think what it might be. :)

Python setuptools: How can I list a private repository under install_requires?

Not [in a Git repository][1], but rather in [GitHub][2] specifically - how do I search just the commit messages of a specific repository/branch?

How can I search for a commit message on GitHub?

On the CI server, I want to fetch a config file that we maintain on Github so it can be shared between many jobs. I&#39;m trying to get this file via curl, but these approaches both fail (I get a 404):

    # As advised by the oAuth docs
    curl -H &#39;Authorization: token the_token&#39; -L -o setup.sh https://raw.github.com/org/repo/file
 
    # The url of the raw file after clicking to view it
    curl -L https://raw.github.com/org/repo/file?login=username&amp;token=the_token
