see if `git log HEAD^` works. If it doesn&#39;t, it may be something with your localization or terminal. It seems to be filtering out the `^` symbol. As a workaround, use `git reset --soft HEAD~1` for now.

Your shell is interpreting the `^` symbol as a line continuation symbol.  Either just avoid using `^` as [Adam](https://stackoverflow.com/users/1864976/adam-dymitruk) [suggests](https://stackoverflow.com/a/14204318/220155):

    git reset --soft HEAD~1

or quote the argument so the shell doesn&#39;t attempt to interpret it (I&#39;m not sure exactly which shell you&#39;re using, but I&#39;d be surprised if this doesn&#39;t work):

    git reset --soft &quot;HEAD^&quot;

The ^ is an escape character in the Windows Command Line. Use ^^ instead of ^.

    git reset --soft HEAD^^

See _Rob Van Der Woude&#39;s Scripting Pages_ for details on [Escape Characters](http://www.robvanderwoude.com/escapechars.php).

For Windows OS, 

&gt; git log HEAD^^ 

will work. I have run this command and from the three files it uncommit the most recent one and shows the other two files. The other two files are in below. So, hopefully it will work.

Example:
```html
&lt;div someAttr=&quot;parentDiv. We need to get it from child.&quot;&gt;
    &lt;table&gt;
        ...
        &lt;td&gt; &lt;div id=&quot;myDiv&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
        ...
    &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
```

I want to get the parent by some selector from the inner div element (the one with the `myDiv` class).

How do I achieve that with plain JavaScript, **without jQuery**?

Something like: 
```js
var div = document.getElementById(&#39;myDiv&#39;);
div.someParentFindMethod(&#39;some selector&#39;);
```

I am getting an Out Of Memory exception in my C# application when the memory usage for the application goes over about 1.3GB. 

I had this same problem on a 32-bit machine with 3GB of memory and it made sense back then. But now I upgraded the hardware to a 64-bit machine with 16GB memory using a high-end motherboard and high-end RAM, but the Out Of Memory exception still occurs after 1.3GB!

I know that there are no single objects over 2GB and 1.3 is less than 2GB anyway, so the built-in MS 2GB limit on a single object is not likely to be the problem.

It seems like there is a Windows kill-switch of some sort when an app reaches a certain memory usage threshold. Then there should be a way to configure this. Is it in the registry perhaps? 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Git windows command line, version 1.8.0

I have 3 commits so far and when I type

    git reset --soft HEAD^

new line comes up with

    More?

and flashing cursor for input

Then, whatever I type, I always get 


&gt;fatal: ambiguous argument &#39;HEAD
&#39;: unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use &#39;--&#39; to separate paths from revisions, like this:
&#39;git &lt;command&gt; [&lt;revision&gt;...] -- [&lt;file&gt;...]

All other commands works fine in the same folder.

I am trying to clone a Git repo using a custom SSH command. I set the SSH command in the GIT_SSH environmental variably be running 

`export GIT_SSH=&quot;/usr/bin/ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /home/me/my_private_key&quot;`. 

But when, after the previous command I run 

`git clone git@bitbucket.org:uname/test-git-repo.git`, I get the following weird error

    error: cannot run /usr/bin/ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /home/me/my_private_key
    fatal: unable to fork

Can you please help me out solve this issue?

    Merge made by the &#39;recursive&#39; strategy

What exactly is the recursive strategy? What other strategies are there (if any)? And what would be the benefit of using one over the other? Do different strategies have different performances? Or could two different strategies result in different merge results?

I frequently add bash scripts to my Git repository, and the scripts have executable permissions in the Linux filesystem prior to the `git add`. But after pushing the added files to a remote repository and pulling in another location, the files show up with non-executable permissions. There seem to be two ways to correct the problem:

1. ```sh
   chmod u+x $script 
   git commit -am &quot;fixing the script permissions... again...&quot;
   ```

2. ```sh
   git update-index --chmod=+x $script
   ```

Instead of fixing up the permissions every time, is there a way to have Git simply look at the file permissions on the script during `git add`, recognize &quot;Hey, this here is an executable file!&quot; and add it to the repository with the executable permissions directly? 

Automatically apply &quot;git update-index --chmod=+x&quot; to executable files

Is it possible to have [gitlab](http://gitlabhq.com/) set up to automatically sync (mirror) a repository hosted at another location?

At the moment, the easiest way I know of doing this involves manually pushing to the two (gitlab and the other) repository, but this is time consuming and error prone.

The greatest problem is that a mirror can resynchronize if two users concurrently push changes to the two different repositories. The best method I can come up with to prevent this issue is to ensure users can only push to one of the repositories.

EGit strikes again. I made the mistake of trying to switch to a different branch in EGit and it somehow messed up and checked out no branch. I then made a commit to this non-branch, and then when I realized I wasn&#39;t tracking the right branch, I ran the following:

    $ git checkout issue2
    Warning: you are leaving 1 commit behind, not connected to any of your branches:

        bada553d My commit message

    If you want to keep them by creating a new branch, this may be a good time to do so with:

        git branch new_branch_name ....

    Branch issue2 set up to track remote branch issue2 from origin.
    Switched to a new branch issue2. 

Now that I&#39;ve botched things, how do I associate that commit with my current branch? I&#39;m not interested in creating a brand new branch, I just want to pull that commit into my branch, `issue2`.

I am working in a small organisation, only two developers and we use Mercurial version control `tortoisehg-2.2.2-hg-2.0.2-x86`. I am new to mercurial.

Consider `programmerA`, `programmerB`.

In `programerA` machine I created a repository and a client with name `&quot;EFSL&quot;`.
`programmerB` is simply a client with name `&quot;Uthaya Kumar&quot;` pointing at `programmerA` machine repository.

When I am pulling change set in `programmerA` machine it creates a new branch,
and it also shows `&quot;Not a head revision!&quot;` error in both working directory and repository.

In `programmerB` it is fine.

Please see the screenshots below.

Thanks in advance.

&quot;Not a head revision!&quot; in Mercurial Hg

I did a `git pull` and got an error: 

&gt; The following working tree files would be overwritten by merge...
&gt; Please move or remove them before you can merge.

To resolve this I did the following:

    git fetch
    git reset --hard origin/master

Now when I do `git pull`, it says everything up to date. I want to know what exactly happens when I run these commands. I know `git fetch` fetches the changes from the remote repo without merging them into my local repo.

What is the meaning of `git reset --hard origin/master`? How does it work?

I&#39;ve been working on my project remotely through the command line on a machine to which I don&#39;t have admin rights and after running `git push origin master` I get the following error message:

    (gnome-ssh-askpass:29241): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

My `.git/config` file has the following contents:

&gt;         [core]
&gt;            repositoryformatversion = 0

&gt;            bare = false

&gt;            remote = origin
&gt;            merge = refs/heads/master

I was getting the 403 error earlier. Following the comment [here][1], I put my username before the @ sign in the remote url and since then, I&#39;ve been getting the Gtk error.

When I login to the machine using `ssh -X` and try to push, I get the following error:


    X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
    (gnome-ssh-askpass:31922): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:localhost:10.0

If I change the url of the remote to `git@github.com:username/repository.git`, then the error is:

    ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Do you know how to fix this?
