The global Git configuration file is stored at `$HOME/.gitconfig` on all platforms.

However, you can simply open a terminal and execute `git config`, which will write the appropriate changes to this file.  You shouldn&#39;t need to manually tweak `.gitconfig`, unless you particularly want to.

You don&#39;t need to find the file.

Only write this instruction on terminal:

    git config --global --edit

I use this function which is saved in .bash_profile and it works a treat for me.

    function show_hidden () {
            { defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles $1; killall -HUP Finder; }
    }

How to use:

    show_hidden true|false 

The solution to the problem is: 

1. Find the **.gitconfig** file 

2. 

    [user]
    	name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423
    	email = ankittanna@hotmail.com
    [credential]
    	helper = osxkeychain
    [url &quot;&quot;]
    	insteadOf = git://
    [url &quot;https://&quot;]
    [url &quot;https://&quot;]
    	insteadOf = git://


there would be a blank **url=&quot;&quot;**
replace it with **url=&quot;https://&quot;**

    [user]
    	name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423
    	email = ankittanna@hotmail.com
    [credential]
    	helper = osxkeychain
    [url &quot;https://&quot;]
    	insteadOf = git://
    [url &quot;https://&quot;]
    [url &quot;https://&quot;]
    	insteadOf = git://

This will work :)

I am writing a script in bash to calculate the time elapsed for the execution of my commands, consider:

    STARTTIME=$(date +%s)
    #command block that takes time to complete...
    #........
    ENDTIME=$(date +%s)
    echo &quot;It takes $($ENDTIME - $STARTTIME) seconds to complete this task...&quot;

I guess my logic is correct however I end up with the following print out:

&quot;It takes seconds to complete this task...&quot;

Anything wrong with my string evaluation?

I believe bash variables are untyped, I would love if there is a &quot;string to integer&quot; method in bash nevertheless.

What is the default access modifier for a method or an instance variable if I do not state it explicitly?

For example:

    package flight.booking;

    public class FlightLog
    {
        private SpecificFlight flight;

        FlightLog(SpecificFlight flight)
        {
            this.flight = flight;
        }
    }

Is the access modifier of this constructor protected or package? Can other classes in the same package, which is `flight.booking`, call this constructor?

I am getting the following when running `git status`

    Your branch is ahead of &#39;origin/master&#39; by 3 commits.

I have read on some other post the way to fix this is run `git pull --rebase` but what exactly is rebase, will I lose data or is this simple way to sync with master?

I&#39;m trying to review a pull request on GitHub to a branch that isn&#39;t master. The target branch was behind master and the pull request showed commits from master, so I merged master and pushed it to GitHub, but the commits and diff for them still appear in the pull request after refreshing. I&#39;ve doubled checked that the branch on GitHub has the commits from master. Why are they still appearing in the pull request?

I&#39;ve also checked out the pull request locally and it only shows the un-merged commits.

At the moment git is doing my head in, I cannot come up with the best solution for the following.

There are two branches, one called **master** and one called **mobiledevicesupport**. I want to keep mobiledevicesupport as a continuous branch that will be merged/synced with the master branch whenever mobiledevicesupport is stable. This would merge changes from mobiledevicesupport into master but also bring all the changes from master into mobiledevicesupport so that branch can continue to be worked on and the features improved or amended. This needs to work with a central repository and multiple developers.

Please an example of similar workflows other people use or just tell me if this idea is stupid and I should consider other options. At the moment the workflow seems sound, but I just don&#39;t know how I can make git work this way.

Thanks, all help much appreciated.

Update 1:
If I was to merge master into mobiledevicesupport and mobiledevice support into master, do I get replicated commits across both branches. Or is git smart enough to work out that I have pulled the latest changes from branch A into branch B and add merge commit C to branch B. And I have pulled the latest changes from branch B into branch A and add merge commit D to branch A?

I was going to post an image but I don&#39;t have enough reputation for it, so I guess the following illustration will have to do. Two branches continuously running with merges going both directions often. The key thing I am not sure about is how git will play out the commits and will it fill either branch with the commits from the other branch on merges or will it stay clean. I have used rebase before but it seems to end the branch and put all the commits into the master, or I did it wrong. Thanks for the help so far.

I just did `git init` to initialize my folder as Git repository and then added a remote repository using `git remote add origin URL`. Now I want to remove this `git remote add origin` and add a new repository `git remote add origin new-URL`. How can I do it?

I have uninstalled and installed Homebrew 3 times now because it seems to never allow me to install anything as it denies me permissions at the end of most installations.

As an example I will post this libjpeg download scenario that I&#39;m currently facing.

I try to install libjpeg and get:

    $ brew install libjpeg
    ==&gt; Downloading https://downloads.sf.net/project/machomebrew/Bottles/jpeg-8d.mountain_lion.bottle.1.tar.gz
    Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/jpeg-8d.mountain_lion.bottle.1.tar.gz
    ==&gt; Pouring jpeg-8d.mountain_lion.bottle.1.tar.gz
    Warning: Could not link jpeg. Unlinking...
    Error: The brew link step did not complete successfully
    The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
    You can try again using `brew link jpeg&#39;
    Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/opt/jpeg

&#39;brew link jpeg&#39; results in 

    Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/opt/jpeg

Here is what my brew doctor reads

    $ brew doctor
    Warning: &quot;config&quot; scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
    ./configure scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
    software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
    compiling and linking.
    
    Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
    Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
    script of the same name. We found the following &quot;config&quot; scripts:
    
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python-config
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2-config
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7-config
    Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
    Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
    those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run brew link on these:
    
    jpeg


This permission issue has been making it impossible to use brew on anything and I would really appreciate any suggestions.

I&#39;ve been using mongo on my mac os x 10.8 and suddenly yesterday at my logs appeared this warning (and when starting shell it&#39;s present too) - 

&gt; WARNING: soft rlimits too low. Number of files is 256, should be at least 1000

Who could explain, what does it mean? And should I increase number of **rlimits** somehow?

Despite having hidden folders turned on, sublime text cannot see invisible folders in the sidebar such as a git repository. How can I fix this?

Here is the project structure:

    /
      app.js
      package.json
      /node_modules
      /app
        config.json
        /frontend
          assets and html tpls
        /modules
          couch.js
          raeume.js
          users.js

I require config.json, raeume.js and users.js from app.js and it all works fine.

    var config   = require(&#39;./app/config&#39;);
    var raeume   = require(&#39;./app/modules/raeume&#39;);
    var users    = require(&#39;./app/modules/users&#39;);

Then I require config.json and couch.js from user.js the same way and it won&#39;t find anything.

    var couch     = require(&#39;./app/modules/couch&#39;);
    var config    = require(&#39;./app/config&#39;);

I guess it should find it. After some research I saw a diverse landscape of problems inclusive how node is compiled. Thus included: I work on osx 10.8 with node v0.10.7.
