I assume your origin is your own fork of some project that you want to do a pull request too?

Since you will be changing history (by resetting the head) you will need to push with --force flag. Locate the hash of your last good commit using `git log`.

Now run

    git reset SHA

This will change your head to that sha and preserve the changes in the files since that last good commit, your index will also be reset.

Now you can change your code and do the commits you want. But you have to do `git push --force` since you changed the history of the repository. This means that anyone who forked your repository won&#39;t be able to pull changes from you anymore. But you will be able to do a pull request to your upstream.

If you are using git gui, Goto git gui and visualize your branch history.
(before doing the next step, take a backup of the local changes that you want to push)
Right click to the point where the branch wants to reset to master and click reset.
After resetting, in command line, type git push -f
Now make the necessary changes in the branch , commit n push again.
If you create a pull request now, it will have only the new commit after the branch reset.

I have used WPF&#39;s 3D capabilities for learning, and for a few implementations, and I have found it to be very capable, and I am also learning DirectX 11, and it is very tricky compared to using 3D classes in WPF. I have only used WPF 3D for very basic stuff, my question is:

Is WPF 3D equally good for advanced applications such as 3D modelling tools, game engines and 3D simulations etc to be an alternative to DirectX and OpenGL?

If there is anything else in the same league, please mention it too.

Is WPF 3D good alternate of DirectX and OpenGL for complex applications?

I have started working on a project and I made some unwanted commits which I pushed to origin master. Now, when I try to do a pull request, Github wants to commit all of the previous commits. 

My question is, how do I remove the unwanted commits and commit the changes that I want to commit so that I am up to date with master? 



Git Remove unwanted commits from a Pull Request

<p>I have started working on a project and I made some unwanted commits which I pushed to origin master. Now, when I try to do a pull request, Github wants to commit all of the previous commits.</p>
<p>My question is, how do I remove the unwanted commits and commit the changes that I want to commit so that I am up to date with master?</p>


OK, I thought this was a simple git scenario, what am I missing?

I have a `master` branch and a `feature` branch. I do some work on `master`, some on `feature`, and then some more on `master`. I end up with something like this (lexicographic order implies the order of commits):

    A--B--C------F--G  (master)
           \    
            D--E  (feature)

I have no problem to `git push origin master` to keep the remote `master` updated, nor with `git push origin feature` (when on `feature`) to maintain a remote backup for my `feature` work. Up until now, we&#39;re good.

But now I want to rebase `feature` on top of the `F--G` commits on master, so I `git checkout feature` and `git rebase master`. Still good. Now we have:

    A--B--C------F--G  (master)
                     \
                      D&#39;--E&#39;  (feature)

**Problem:** the moment I want to backup the new rebased `feature` branched with `git push origin feature`, **the push is rejected** since the tree has changed due to the rebasing. This can only be solved with `git push --force origin feature`.

I hate using `--force` without being sure I need it. So, do I need it? Does the rebasing *necessarily* imply that the next `push` should be `--force`ful?

This feature branch is not shared with any other devs, so I have no problem *de facto* with the force push, I&#39;m not going to lose any data, the question is more conceptual.

Git push rejected after feature branch rebase

Is it possible to execute any git command in &quot;silent&quot; mode? For instance, can i say &quot;`git push origin`&quot; and see nothing displayed on the screen?

I suppose i can redirect IO to `/dev/null` (works fine), but .. does git allow something like this naturally?

Below is a quick script that does automatic EOD commit, used when i need to catch the train and don&#39;t want to leave code on my local computer

      1 clear
      2
      3 cd
      4 cd repo/active
      5
      6 for i in *
      7 do
      8   cd $i
      9   echo &quot;Pushing &quot; $i
     10   git add . -A &gt;&gt; /dev/null 
     11   git commit -a -m &quot;EOD automatic commit&quot; &gt;&gt; /dev/null 
     12   git push origin &gt;&gt; /dev/null 
     13   echo
     14   cd ..
     15 done

Please let me know.

I was reading on:
https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Git_workflow#Rebase_your_development_branch_on_the_latest_upstream

Here is an extract:

&gt; Your Repository Up to Date
&gt; 
&gt; In order to get the latest updates from the development trunk do a
&gt; one-time setup to establish the main GitHub repo as a remote by
&gt; entering:
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt;     $ git remote add upstream git://github.com/diaspora/diaspora.git
&gt; 
&gt; Rebase Your Development Branch on the Latest Upstream
&gt; 
&gt; To keep your development branch up to date, rebase your changes on top
&gt; of the current state of the upstream master. See the What’s
&gt; git-rebase? section below to learn more about rebasing.
&gt; 
&gt; If you’ve set up an upstream branch as detailed above, and a
&gt; development branch called 100-retweet-bugfix, you’d update upstream,
&gt; update your local master, and rebase your branch from it like so:
&gt; 
&gt;     $ git fetch upstream
&gt; 
&gt;     $ git checkout master
&gt; 
&gt;     $ git rebase upstream/master
&gt; 
&gt;     $ git checkout 100-retweet-bugfix
&gt; 
&gt; [make sure all is committed as necessary in branch]
&gt; 
&gt;     $ git rebase master

Why is adding a &#39;remote upstream&#39; needed in this case? Coudn&#39;t I have just done:

    $ git checkout master

    $ git pull origin master

    $ git checkout 100-retweet-bugfix

[make sure all is committed as necessary in branch]

    $ git rebase master

I have a problem setting Sublime Text 2 as the `core.editor` with `git`.

I&#39;ve read through every post I could find addressing the problem, but still nothing is working for me. I am running Windows.

I have done:

    git config --global core.editor &quot;&#39;C:/Program Files/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe&#39;&quot;

and tried that with various arguments like `-m`.  When I open my `.gitconfig`, this is what is in there:

    [user]
	    name = Spencer Moran
	    email = smoran02@gmail.com
    [core]
	    editor = &#39;C:/Program Files/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe&#39;


If I go to Git and type:

    README.markdown --edit

the README file opens in Notepad, not Sublime Text.

Does anyone have any idea what I&#39;m doing wrong or how I could fix this?

I just bought a new Mac with OS X Lion and I checked in the Terminal what version of git is installed by default. I got the answer

    git --version
    &gt; git version 1.7.5.4

I would like to upgrade git to the latest version 1.7.8.3, so I downloaded the dmg installer &quot;git-1.7.8.3-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg&quot; and I launched it.

After the install, the Terminal still says that the version is 1.7.5.4. What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to remove all files in a repository and update it with only the files I have in my local machine? The reason is that, there are certain files that is not necessary in my github and so I want to remove those files. Instead of removing the files one by one, I wanted to see if its possible to just remove all files in my git repo and update/push with only the files in my local machine. Hope its clear. Thanks.

I have a `gh-pages` branch in one of my http://github.com repos. The GitHub project pages works fine if I go to http://myuser.github.com/myrepo

I want to setup a custom domain (myexample.com) that will serve up this project pages.  I want **both** `myexample.com` and `www.myexample.com` to serve up these project pages.

[GitHub pages help][1] says to make an A record and a CNAME record in your DNS.  The A record makes sense, but I do not know what CNAME record to make in my DNS.

The `gh-pages` docs say to make a `CNAME` record for &#39;charlie.github.com&#39; which is a user page repository.  I do not have a user page repository - I only have a project repository and a `gh-pages` branch that I want to use for `myexample.com` and `www.myexample.com`.

*Do I need to make a user page repository just so I can use my project page for www.myexample.com and myexample.com?*

I would just try it, but I want to make sure this will work as I already have www.myexample.com live and don&#39;t want to make a mistake.

I emailed GitHub support and their response was

&gt; You can&#39;t have both point to the same gh-pages as far as I know.  

I find it hard to believe they would only support A records for project pages.

Has anyone successfully done this before?

Custom domain for GitHub project pages

My boss decided recently to try out an outsourcing group &quot;for increased capacity&quot; as we modify an existing application to add new features. Despite my concern that the group he chose didn&#39;t seem to communicate well and wasn&#39;t asking enough questions to truly understand and be effective, we went with them anyway.

We set them up to collaborate on our Git repository (hosted on GitHub). We created a branch just for them (TheOutsourcedBranch, we&#39;ll call it) and requested that they to do all of their work within this branch.

Additionally, we asked that they push their commits at the end of each day so that we can get a decent idea of how fast they work and (more importantly) how good their code is.

Today they pushed for the first time. Five commits, all of them in master. I&#39;m trying to figure out how to move their commits from master into TheOutsourcedBranch, without losing the work they&#39;ve done (although from the looks of it, we&#39;re going to have to throw it away anyway).

![Visual Reference -- Orange dots are their commits, gray are mine.][1]

Orange dots are their commits, gray dots are mine.

I know there are a zillion questions about rebasing (and that might be what I need to do here) but I&#39;m having a hard time figuring out which of them apply to my specific case. And in case it matters, the outsourcing group and myself are the only people that are really using the repo right now.

Thanks in advance!

**Edit:**
I may have found what I&#39;m looking for: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1628563/git-move-recent-commit-to-a-new-branch

I&#39;d like to check my understanding, though. Locally, I create a branch off of master (TheOutsourcedBranch), which would contain everything A-H. Then I reset master back to C. Master would now contain A-C.

Assuming that is correct, that would be fine for me (locally). But then what do I need to do to &quot;force&quot; the remote repository (GitHub) to accept my local view of how things played out and discard its version of the history?

Once this has played out I think I can re-work this question to make it more generic/informative and cut out some fluff--otherwise it&#39;s probably a good candidate for deletion, I would guess.

How to change the base branch of a pull request?

I opened a pull request to [rails][1] repo on github by using **Fork &amp; Edit this file** file button.

Now, 
After getting feedback on my PR, I wanted to add some more commits. so here is what I ended by doing

    $ git clone git@github.com:gaurish/rails.git #my forked repo
    $ git rebase -i 785a2e5 #commit hash of my commit using which PR was opened
    $ git checkout patch-3 #branch name I had to send my commits under to be shown in that PR
    $ git commit -am &quot;Changes done as per feedback&quot;
    $ git push origin patch-3
This worked fine but seems quite a complex workflow. Maybe I am wrong something wrong here? 

my question is:
Am I doing this the correct way? if not, then what is the proper way to do this?

github: Adding commits to existing pull request

I have a repo [iontech/Anagen][1] forked from [agiliq/Anagen][2]

I made a few commits to my fork and added a tag. Then I opened a Pull Request. This Pull Request includes only my commits.

How do I include the tag I&#39;ve created into the Pull Request?

Adding Tags to a Pull Request

I have a repository that is forked from [GitHub](http://www.github.com/) that has a few modifications made to it. However, in a certain commit, a few files were changed that I want to submit a pull-request for, leaving the other modified files out of the request.

Do pull requests merge *all* commits, or do I need to do something special to isolate this commit?
