This command will help to pull from the repository as the different user:

    git pull https://myusername@github.com/projectfolder/projectname.git master

It is a workaround, when you are using same machine that someone else used before you, and had saved credentials

Was looking for the solution of a similar problem. Thanks to the answer provided by Davlet and Cupcake
I was able to solve my problem.

Posting this answer here since I think this is the intended question

So I guess generally the problem that people like me face is what to do when a repo is cloned by another user on a server and that user is no longer associated with the repo.

How to pull from the repo without using the credentials of the old user ?

You edit the .git/config file of your repo.

and change

    url = https://&lt;old-username&gt;@github.com/abc/repo.git/

to

    url = https://&lt;new-username&gt;@github.com/abc/repo.git/

After saving the changes, from now onwards git pull will pull data while using credentials of the new user.

I hope this helps anyone with a similar problem

Your question is a little unclear, but if what you&#39;re doing is trying to get your friend&#39;s latest changes, then typically what your friend needs to do is to push those changes up to a remote repo (like one hosted on GitHub), and then you fetch or pull those changes from the remote:

1. Your friend pushes his changes to GitHub:

        git push origin &lt;branch&gt;

2. Clone the remote repository if you haven&#39;t already:

        git clone https://myusername@github.com/abc/theproject.git

3. Fetch or pull your friend&#39;s changes (unnecessary if you just cloned in step #2 above):

        git fetch origin
        git merge origin/&lt;branch&gt;

   Note that `git pull` is the same as doing the two steps above:

        git pull origin &lt;branch&gt;

How do control what files are included in a wheel?  It appears `MANIFEST.in` isn&#39;t used by `python setup.py bdist_wheel`.

**UPDATE**:

I was wrong about the difference between installing from a source tarball vs a wheel.  The source distribution includes files specified in ``MANIFEST.in``, but the installed package only has python files.  Steps are needed to identify additional files that should be installed, whether the install is via source distribution, egg, or wheel.  Namely, [package_data](https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-package-data) is needed for additional package files, and [data_files](https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-additional-files) for files outside your package like command line scripts or system config files.

Original Question
----

I have [a project](https://github.com/tulsawebdevs/django-multi-gtfs) where I&#39;ve been using `python setup.py sdist` to build my package, `MANIFEST.in` to control the files included and excluded, and [pyroma](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyroma) and [check-manifest](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/check-manifest) to confirm my settings.

I recently converted it to dual Python 2 / 3 code, and added a setup.cfg with

    [bdist_wheel]
    universal = 1

I can build a wheel with `python setup.py bdist_wheel`, and it appears to be a universal wheel as desired.  However, it doesn&#39;t include all of the files specified in `MANIFEST.in`.  

What gets installed?
------
I dug deeper, and now know more about packaging and wheel.  Here&#39;s what I learned:

I upload two package files to the [multigtfs project on PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/multigtfs/0.4.2):

* ``multigtfs-0.4.2.tar.gz`` - the source tar ball, which includes all the files in ``MANIFEST.in``.
* ``multigtfs-0.4.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl`` - The binary distribution in question.

I created two new virtual environments, both with Python 2.7.5, and installed each package (``pip install multigtfs-0.4.2.tar.gz``).  The two environments are almost identical.  They have different `.pyc` files, which are the &quot;compiled&quot; Python files.  There are log files which record the different paths on disk.  The install from the source tar ball includes a folder ``multigtfs-0.4.2-py27.egg-info``, detailing the installation, and the wheel install has a ``multigtfs-0.4.2.dist-info`` folder, with the details of that process.  However, from the point of view of code using the multigtfs project, there is no difference between the two installation methods.

Explicitly, neither has the .zip files used by my test, so the test suite will fail:


    $ django-admin startproject demo
    $ cd demo
    $ pip install psycopg2  # DB driver for PostGIS project
    $ createdb demo         # Create PostgreSQL database
    $ psql -d demo -c &quot;CREATE EXTENSION postgis&quot; # Make it a PostGIS database 
    $ vi demo/settings.py   # Add multigtfs to INSTALLED_APPS,
                            # Update DATABASE to set ENGINE to django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis
                            # Update DATABASE to set NAME to test
    $ ./manage.py test multigtfs.tests  # Run the tests
    ...
    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u&#39;/Users/john/.virtualenvs/test/lib/python2.7/site-packages/multigtfs/tests/fixtures/test3.zip&#39;

Specifying additional files
-----
Using the suggestions from the answers, I added some additional directives to `setup.py`:


    from __future__ import unicode_literals
    # setup.py now requires some funky binary strings
    ...
    setup(
        name=&#39;multigtfs&#39;,
        packages=find_packages(),
        package_data={b&#39;multigtfs&#39;: [&#39;test/fixtures/*.zip&#39;]},
        include_package_data=True,
        ...
    )

This installs the zip files (as well as the README) to the folder, and tests now run correctly.  Thanks for the suggestions!

How do you add additional files to a wheel?

How do I repeat each element of a list `n` times and form a new list? For example:

    x = [1,2,3,4]
    n = 3
    
    x1 = [1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4]

`x * n` doesn&#39;t work

    for i in x[i]:
        x1 = n * x[i]

There must be a simple and smart way.

I am working with my friend on a project the code of which is on Git. If I need to pull the changes from my friend&#39;s machine, can I pull it from my username/password using the following command without any issue?

    git pull https://myusername@github.com/abc/theproject.git

I&#39;m working on a team with a few developers using git on BitBucket. We are all working on a `dev` branch, not pushing to `master` until a release.

One of the developers committed incorrect code that overwrote my own by accident, and now I am trying to push the correct code  back to the repo. I have been reading about this error for a few days now, I can&#39;t push to the repo anymore because I am getting the following error:


     ! [rejected]        master -&gt; dev (fetch first)
    error: failed to push some refs to &#39;https://myusername@bitbucket.org/repo_user/repo_name.git&#39;
    hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
    hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
    hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
    hint: (e.g., &#39;git pull ...&#39;) before pushing again.
    hint: See the &#39;Note about fast-forwards&#39; in &#39;git push --help&#39; for details.

I follow the instructions and `pull`, but then I receive a merge conflict. After entering a message for the merge conflict, my local code is now the incorrect code that the other developer uploaded by accident (as expected from the `pull`). So I replace the incorrect code with the backup I copied before committing, and when I try to push again, I get the same error. 

It is really frustrating, I really want to help out my team and contribute, but I can&#39;t because of this error. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I would very much appreciate any help.

These are the commands I run in order to commit if it helps anyone out:

    git pull remotename master:dev
    git add --all
    git commit -m &quot;some message&quot;
    git pull remotename master:dev
    git push remotename master:dev

I would have thought that if I kept this order, I would not receive merge conflicts. I guess I was wrong. Thanks again

Update:
I should add that I have looked for a few hours on Google and StackOverflow, and followed different instructions, but I still can&#39;t `push` to the `dev` branch.

Apologies if this seems redundant as I know there are fair amount of questions regarding Merge vs Rebase, but there doesn&#39;t seem to be any that throw in &#39;Branch Default&#39; as well. 

You are given a case where you have multiple people working on something (i.e. an Android app in Android Studio) concurrently. What is the best option to update project/pull if someone pushes to the master branch and you want to pull in the new master such that it doesn&#39;t overwrite the work you are still working on and have yet to commit and push to master? Android Studio lists &#39;Merge&#39; &#39;Rebase&#39; and &#39;Branch Default&#39; when clicking &#39;Update Project&#39;. From what it sounds like, I would want to do &#39;Rebase&#39; (followed by &#39;Merge&#39;?), but I&#39;m not entirely sure.

In the root of my project I have a `foo` folder. Inside the `foo` folder I have a `bar` folder. I would like to ignore all changes to all files inside my `bar` folder. I have this in my `gitignore`:

    /foo/bar

The folder is checked: it exists and it has the files to be ignored. `gitignore` is `commit`ted. However, I have a file where I make a moification and is inside my `bar` folder. When I type

    git status

inside my `git bash` I see the file which should have been ignored. What could be the reason and how can I successfully ignore all files inside my bar folder?

Note, that the files were previously ignored with the same line, but I had to temporarily remove that line to `commit` something on the server. After the `commit`, I put back the line into the `gitignore`. This was a while ago, but now I have observed that the files will be in `git status`. I would expect to be able to modify the ignored files without they appearing in the `git status`.

When I do a `git diff` or a `git log -p`, how do I get line numbers of the source file(s) inlined with the output?

I tried to look it up `man git-diff | grep &quot;line numbers&quot;` and I tried googling but got nothing quickly.

I&#39;m trying to show a comparison between two photos in my README.md which is why I want to display them side-by-side. [Here](https://github.com/saadq/Sublime-Color-Schemes#solarized-ocean) is how the two images are placed currently. I want to show the two Solarized color schemes side by side instead of top and bottom. Help would be much appreciated, thanks!

I&#39;m writing a wiki page on GitHub, and I&#39;m using Markdown. 

My problem is that I&#39;m putting a large image (this image is in its own repository) and I need resize it.

I have tried different solutions, but they do not work:

&lt;!-- language: none --&gt;

    ![image](http://url.to/image.png &quot;Title&quot; {width=40px height=400px})

    ![image](http://url.to/image.png = 250x250)

    ![image](http://url.to/image.png = 250x)

    [[http://url.to/image.png = 250x]]

Is there a way to get it?

It is preferable without HTML.

I&#39;m trying to get TravisCI to automatically deploy my Hakyll static site, according to [this guide][1].

Here&#39;s how my repo is set up. I have my source branch, which contains my hakyll and markdown files. It builds the html into the `_site` directory, which is set up as a submodule, linked to my `master` branch.

I build the site without problem, then `cd` into the _site directory. However, when I try to `git add ./*` the newly generated HTML files, I get the following error:

    fatal: Pathspec &#39;./about.html&#39; is in submodule &#39;_site&#39;

When I try `git add --all`, I get this error:

    git: pathspec.c:317: prefix_pathspec: Assertion `item-&gt;nowildcard_len &lt;= item-&gt;len &amp;&amp; item-&gt;prefix &lt;= item-&gt;len&#39; failed.

When editing an issue and clicking Preview the following markdown source:

    a
    b
    c

shows every letter on a new line.

However, it seems to me that pushing similar markdown source structure in README.md joins all the letters on one line.

I&#39;d like the new lines preserved in the README.md in this project: https://github.com/zoran119/simple-read-only-test

Any idea how?

I&#39;ve been learning github markdown, I had a question about variables and macros.

is it possible to define a variable or macro to prevent repeated printing of a block of text? 

The use case is that I have a table producing a big grid of hyperlinks - the links look like the below. 


    http://www.a-big-long-big-big-long-hyperlink/more-long-stuff?id=1234

it would be nice if I could do something like the below once:

    $link=http://www.a-big-long-big-big-long-hyperlink/more-long-stuff?id

and then in each cell in the table, I can say something like

    $link=1234

Some other cell

    $link=2345

the idea being that:

 - The table (which has ~10 columns and ~10 rows) is a bit easier to see on a normal screen, at the moment with the prefix to the links being so long, it looks really ugly as the links wrap to the next line
 - If I want to change the root link, I can change it in one place (yes, I know I could do search and replace in an editor!)

Cheers.
