`git log --author=&lt;pattern&gt;` will show the commit log filtered for a particular author. (`--committer` can be used for committer if the distinction is necessary).

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-log

Try this:

    git log --author=&lt;name or email&gt;

or pass the same option to `gitk`, or if already in gitk, go to view &gt; new view, and fill in the appropriate field. The name doesn&#39;t have to be exact; it&#39;s matched as a regex (a substring, in the trivial case) against the author field.

Every day I love python more and more. 

Today, I was writing some code like:

    for i in xrange(N):
        do_something()

I had to do something N times. But each time didn&#39;t depend on the value of `i` (index variable).
I realized that I was creating a variable I never used (`i`), and I thought &quot;There surely is a more pythonic way of doing this without the need for that useless index variable.&quot;


So... the question is: do you know how to do this simple task in a more (pythonic) beautiful way?

<p>Our project uses Git as the version control system and recently I needed to review someone's commits. How can I see a list of commits made by a specific user?</p>


I use git-svn and I noticed that when I have to fix a merge conflict after performing a `git svn rebase`, the meaning of the `--ours` and `--theirs` options to e.g. `git checkout` is reversed. That is, if there&#39;s a conflict and I want to keep the version that came from the SVN server and throw away the changes I made locally, I have to use `ours`, when I would expect it to be `theirs`.

Why is that?

Example:


    mkdir test
    cd test
    svnadmin create svnrepo
    svn co file://$PWD/svnrepo svnwc
    cd svnwc
    echo foo &gt; test.txt
    svn add test.txt
    svn ci -m &#39;svn commit 1&#39;
    cd ..
    git svn clone file://$PWD/svnrepo gitwc
    cd svnwc
    echo bar &gt; test.txt 
    svn ci -m &#39;svn commit 2&#39;
    cd ..
    cd gitwc
    echo baz &gt; test.txt 
    git commit -a -m &#39;git commit 1&#39;
    git svn rebase
    
    git checkout --ours test.txt
    cat test.txt 
    # shows &quot;bar&quot; but I expect &quot;baz&quot;
    
    git checkout --theirs test.txt
    cat test.txt 
    # shows &quot;baz&quot; but I expect &quot;bar&quot;

Heroku has a policy of ignoring all branches but &#39;master&#39;.

While I&#39;m sure Heroku&#39;s designers have excellent reasons for this policy (I&#39;m guessing for storage and performance optimization), the consequence to me as a developer is that whatever local topic branch I may be working on, I would like an easy way to switch Heroku&#39;s master to that local topic branch and do a &quot;git push heroku -f&quot; to over-write master on Heroku.

What I got from reading the &quot;Pushing Refspecs&quot; section of http://progit.org/book/ch9-5.html is

&lt;pre&gt;git push -f heroku local-topic-branch:refs/heads/master&lt;/pre&gt;

What I&#39;d really like is a way to set this up in the configuration file so that &quot;git push heroku&quot; always does the above, replacing &lt;em&gt;local-topic-branch&lt;/em&gt; with the name of whatever my current branch happens to be.  If anyone knows how to accomplish that, please let me know!

The caveat for this, of course, is that this is only sensible if I am the only one who can push to that Heroku app/repository. A test or QA team might manage such a repository to try out different candidate branches, but they would have to coordinate so that they all agree on what branch they are pushing to it on any given day.

Needless to say, it would also be a very good idea to have a separate remote repository (like GitHub) without this restriction for backing everything up to. I&#39;d call that one &quot;origin&quot; and use &quot;heroku&quot; for Heroku so that &quot;git push&quot; always backs up everything to origin, and &quot;git push heroku&quot; pushes whatever branch I&#39;m currently on to Heroku&#39;s master branch, overwriting it if necessary.

Would this work?

&lt;pre&gt;
[remote &quot;heroku&quot;]
    url = git@heroku.com:my-app.git
    push = +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/master
&lt;/pre&gt;

I&#39;d like to hear from someone more experienced before I begin to experiment, although I suppose I could create a dummy app on Heroku and experiment with that.

As for fetching, I don&#39;t really care if the Heroku repository is write-only. I still have a separate repository, like GitHub, for backup and cloning of all my work.

Heroku: How to push different local Git branches to Heroku/master

Would it make sense to perform `git rebase` while preserving the commit timestamps?

I believe a consequence would be that the new branch will not necessarily have commit dates chronologically. Is that *theoretically* possible at all? (e.g. using plumbing commands; just curious here)

If it is theoretically possible, then is it possible in practice with rebase, not to change the timestamps?

For example, assume I have the following tree:

    master &lt;jun 2010&gt;
      |
      :
      :
      :     oldbranch &lt;feb 1984&gt;
      :     /
    oldcommit &lt;jan 1984&gt;

Now, if I rebase `oldbranch` on `master`, the date of the commit changes from feb 1984 to jun 2010. Is it possible to change that behaviour so that the commit timestamp is not changed? In the end I would thus obtain:

          oldbranch &lt;feb 1984&gt;
          /
     master &lt;jun 2010&gt;
        |
        :

Would that make sense at all? Is it even allowed in git to have a history where an old commit has a more recent commit as a parent?

How can I lookup the latest git commit hash from an ant build script?

I am currently working on a new open source project which I store on github. I would like to extend my existing ANT build file to allow me to create numbered builds. I am imagining that I would launch the build with something like &quot;ant buildnum -Dnum=12&quot;.

I would like the resulting jar to have two crucial bits of information in it&#39;s manifest file:

 - build.number=12
 - build.gitcommit=&lt;foo&gt;

I know how to create the build.number line. However, I am unsure of the best ant plumbing to lookup the latest git commit hash which is the value I want to fill in for &lt;foo&gt;.

I&#39;ve always programmed alone, I&#39;m still a student so I never programmed with anyone else, I haven&#39;t even used a version control system before.

I&#39;m working on a project now that requires knowledge of how programmers work together on a piece of software in a company.

How is the software compiled? Is it from the version control system? Is it by individual programmers? Is it periodic? Is it when someone decides to build or something? Are there any tests that are done to make sure it &quot;works&quot;?

Anything will do.

I&#39;m hosting a project in Github, but now I purchased a plan with Dreamhost that includes shell access and Git.

While I found similar [question][1] I didn&#39;t find an answer to my problem

When I try to rename the directory from FOO to foo via `git mv FOO foo` I get  

    fatal: renaming &#39;FOO&#39; failed: Invalid argument

OK. So I try `git mv FOO foo2 &amp;&amp; git mv foo2 foo`

But when I try to commit via `git commit .` I get

    # On branch master
    # Untracked files:
    #   (use &quot;git add &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to include in what will be committed)
    #
    # foo
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use &quot;git add&quot; to track)

When I add the directory via `git add foo` nothing changes and `git commit .` gives me the same message again. 

What am I doing wrong? I thought I&#39;m using a case-sensitive system (OSX) why can&#39;t I simply rename the directory?

git mv and only change case of directory

I created an Android project, added it to my git repo, comitted and pushed my clone to the master. Later I tried checking out the project and Eclipse complained about missing src folders. I checked my repo and the master repo and the src folders are missing (Im sure they were there when I created the project). So can someone explain what happened here? Im new to git so maybe I missed something?

Does git ignore empty folders?

Our team has just moved from Netbeans to IntelliJ 9 Ultimate and need to know what files/folders should typically be excluded from source control as they are not &quot;workstation portable&quot;, i.e.: they reference paths that only exist on one user&#39;s computer.

As far as I can tell, IntelliJ wants to ignore most of the .idea project including

    .idea/artifacts/*
    .idea/inspectionProfiles/*
    .idea/copyright/*
    .idea/dataSources.ids
    .idea/dataSources.xml
    .idea/workspace.xml

However, it seems to want to check in the `.iml` files that exist in each module&#39;s root directory.

I originally checked in the entire `.idea` directory via the command line which is obviously not aware of what &quot;should&quot; be ignored by IDEA.  Is the entire `.idea` directory typically ignored?

I have made several commits on different files, but so far I would like to push to my remote repository only a specific commit.

Is that possible?


How can I push a specific commit to a remote, and not previous commits?

I have a problem that seems very simple but is hard to solve. I get the mentioned error after deleting a directory. I did not find a solution yet to solve the conflict. This is how it occurs:
&lt;pre&gt;
svn add dir
svn add dir/file1
svn commit
svn add dir/file2
svn commit
svn delete dir
svn commit
--&gt; commit failed  
--&gt; Directory &#39;/dir&#39; is out of date
&lt;/pre&gt; 
The obvious solution &#39;svn update&#39;does not work. After svn update a next commit fails with:
&lt;pre&gt;
Commit failed
Directory &#39;/dir&#39; remains in conflict.
&lt;/pre&gt;
In the meanwhile I found a solution but it is a bit cumbersome:
&lt;pre&gt;
svn resolve --accept working dir
svn commit --&gt; still fails
svn update
svn commit --&gt; still fails
svn resolve --accept working dir
svn commit --&gt; NO PROBLEM!
&lt;/pre&gt;
Two questions: 
- can anyone explain this behaviour because I am very curious about it
- this problem occurs in a perl script in a far more complex situation. Can anyone give me a simple solution with is &#39;doable&#39; in the perl script?


SVN commit failed: Directory out of date

I&#39;ve only just started to use GIT and think its wonderful, however I&#39;m a little confused over what the `merge` command does.

Let us say we have a working project in the branch &quot;A&quot;.

I go home and make changes to this branch and save it as &quot;B&quot;.
Another programmer makes changes to &quot;A&quot; and saves it as &quot;C&quot;.

Is there a way to merge the two branches &quot;B&quot; and &quot;C&quot; together, then commit the changes as a new branch, say &quot;D&quot;?

Or am missing the point of &#39;merge&#39;?

Merging 2 branches together in GIT

I have a list of changed files in git repository. There is one file I don&#39;t wanna commit for the current moment. Can I do:

    git commit -a

To commit all files and then somehow remove that file from current commit? After such removing it should still be in the list of uncommited files.

Remove a file from the list that will be committed

I&#39;ve two or more projects (let&#39;s call them *ProjectFoo* and *ProjectBar*) having some **common code** that I put in a **submodule**.

My understanding is that if I commit changes to a submodule from within *ProjectFoo* it&#39;ll be in a detached head that only all *ProjectFoo* clones can see:

    (master) $ cd ProjectFooBarCommoneSubmodule/
    (master) $ git commit -am &quot;Common code fix.&quot;
    (56f21fb0...) $ git push
    Everything up-to-date

That&#39;s probably because the `master` branch hasn&#39;t changed. I could probably do something like `git checkout master &amp;&amp; git merge Everything up-to-date` but that seem pretty ugly. May be a `git reset --hard master` would do the same but it seems even uglier.

How to have a common code shared by project, updated **from within** those projects using it? In other words, committing to that submodule should update all various repositories (*repositories, not just clones*) that use this same submodule.

---- EDIT ----

Visibly my checked-out repository was messed up and broken. It should have worked right from the start like that (on *ProjectFoo* in this example):

    (master) $ cd ProjectFooBarCommoneSubmodule/
    (master) $ git commit -am &quot;Common code fix.&quot;
    (master) $ git push
    ....
       fbfdd71..0acce63  master -&gt; master
    (master) $ cd ..
    (master) $ git add ProjectFooBarCommoneSubmodule
    (master) $ git commit -m &quot;Submodule update.&quot;

Then to get that change from on other projects, like *ProjectBar*:

    (master) $ cd ProjectFooBarCommoneSubmodule/
    (master) $ git pull

Would update to the latest common code. A `git checkout master` may be required if it&#39;s on a detached head.
