If the local branch is called &quot;demo&quot; and you want to push to branch called &quot;master&quot; on the remote called &quot;web&quot;, then do the following:

    git push web demo:master

If you want to merge from the &quot;master&quot; branch on the remote &quot;web&quot; into your current branch, you can do the following:

    git fetch web
    git merge web/master

I have a website that is working fine with Razor (C#) all the coding is working properly when I use my local testing (WebMatrix IIS).

When I put it &quot;online&quot; on my server the website is not at the root of the site it self

For example:

http:// intranet.mycompany.com/inform

That&#39;s basically the &quot;root&quot; of my folder structure so all my folders starts from there (css file default.cshtml... and so on)

My &quot;_PageStart.cshtml&quot; sees it properly cause when I access my site from the link http://intranet.mycompany.com/inform it gives me the Layout I have configured in _PageStart.cshtml (and it really show the layout + the rendered default.cshtml)

BUT nothing else is getting the proper path, for example : 

    &lt;img src=&quot;~/images/logos/hdr.png&quot; /&gt;

The img holder is there I can see it but shows that the link is broken... when I Right-Click the img holder and do properties to see where the files should be it shows me : 

http:// intranet.mycompany.com/images/logos/hdr.png

So it&#39;s going to the &quot;full&quot; root not the relative root...

How can i fix that ?

Using site root relative links in Razor

This question is a continuance of a particular comment from people on stackoverflow which I&#39;ve seen a few different times now. I, along with the developer who taught me Delphi, in order to keep things safe, have always put a check `if assigned()` before freeing objects, and before doing other various things. However, I&#39;m now told that I should *not* be adding this check. I&#39;d like to know if there is any difference in how the application compiles/runs if I do this, or if it won&#39;t affect the result at all...

    if assigned(SomeObject) then SomeObject.Free;

Let&#39;s say I have a form, and I&#39;m creating a bitmap object in the background upon the form&#39;s creation, and freeing it when I&#39;m done with it. Now I guess my problem is I got too used to putting this check on a lot of my code when I&#39;m trying to access objects which might potentially have been free&#39;d at some point. I&#39;ve been using it even when it&#39;s not necessary. I like to be thorough...

    unit Unit1;
    
    interface
    
    uses
      Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
      Dialogs;
    
    type
      TForm1 = class(TForm)
        procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
        procedure FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
      private
        FBitmap: TBitmap;
      public
        function LoadBitmap(const Filename: String): Bool;
        property Bitmap: TBitmap read FBitmap;
      end;
    
    var
      Form1: TForm1;
    
    implementation
    
    {$R *.dfm}
    
    procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
    begin
      FBitmap:= TBitmap.Create;
      LoadBitmap(&#39;C:\Some Sample Bitmap.bmp&#39;);
    end;
    
    procedure TForm1.FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
    begin
      if assigned(FBitmap) then begin //&lt;-----
        //Do some routine to close file
        FBitmap.Free;
      end;
    end;
    
    function TForm1.LoadBitmap(const Filename: String): Bool;
    var
      EM: String;
      function CheckFile: Bool;
      begin
        Result:= False;
        //Check validity of file, return True if valid bitmap, etc.
      end;
    begin
      Result:= False;
      EM:= &#39;&#39;;
      if assigned(FBitmap) then begin //&lt;-----
        if FileExists(Filename) then begin
          if CheckFile then begin
            try
              FBitmap.LoadFromFile(Filename);
            except
              on e: exception do begin
                EM:= EM + &#39;Failure loading bitmap: &#39; + e.Message + #10;
              end;
            end;
          end else begin
            EM:= EM + &#39;Specified file is not a valid bitmap.&#39; + #10;
          end;
        end else begin
          EM:= EM + &#39;Specified filename does not exist.&#39; + #10;
        end;
      end else begin
        EM:= EM + &#39;Bitmap object is not assigned.&#39; + #10;
      end;
      if EM &lt;&gt; &#39;&#39; then begin
        raise Exception.Create(&#39;Failed to load bitmap: &#39; + #10 + EM);
      end;
    end;
    
    end.

Now let&#39;s say I&#39;m introducing a new custom list object called `TMyList` of `TMyListItem`. For each item in this list, of course I have to create/free each item object.  There&#39;s a few different ways of creating an item, as well as a few different ways of destroying an item (Add/Delete being the most common). I&#39;m sure it&#39;s a very good practice to put this protection here...

    procedure TMyList.Delete(const Index: Integer);
    var
      I: TMyListItem;
    begin
      if (Index &gt;= 0) and (Index &lt; FItems.Count) then begin
        I:= TMyListItem(FItems.Objects[Index]);
        if assigned(I) then begin //&lt;-----
          if I &lt;&gt; nil then begin
            I.DoSomethingBeforeFreeing(&#39;Some Param&#39;);
            I.Free;
          end;
        end;
        FItems.Delete(Index);
      end else begin
        raise Exception.Create(&#39;My object index out of bounds (&#39;+IntToStr(Index)+&#39;)&#39;);
      end;
    end;

In many scenarios, at least I would hope that the object is still created before I try to free it. But you never know what slips might happen in the future where an object gets free&#39;d before it&#39;s supposed to. I&#39;ve always used this check, but now I&#39;m being told I shouldn&#39;t, and I still don&#39;t understand why.

----------

**EDIT**

Here&#39;s an example to try to explain to you why I have a habit of doing this:

    procedure TForm1.FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
    begin
      SomeCreatedObject.Free;
      if SomeCreatedObject = nil then
        ShowMessage(&#39;Object is nil&#39;)
      else
        ShowMessage(&#39;Object is not nil&#39;);
    end;

My point is that `if SomeCreatedObject &lt;&gt; nil` is not the same as `if Assigned(SomeCreatedObject)` because after freeing `SomeCreatedObject`, it does not evaluate to `nil`. So both checks should be necessary.


Why should I not use &quot;if Assigned()&quot; before accessing objects?

I am trying to implement the setup outlined here http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto but with one difference. On my local repository I want to use a branch different to master.

So when I go to push the initial files rather than push the master files I want to push the files from my demo branch to the master branch on the remote repository. For example:

    git push web +master:refs/heads/demo

But when I do this I get the following error after it completes uploading all of the files:

    remote: fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born

Is it possible to do what I am trying to do with this setup?

Is there an option to restrict `git diff` to a given set of file extensions?

How to filter git diff based on file extensions?

When I use `svn diff` or `git diff` it shows lines like:

    @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@

What do they mean?

What does the “@@…@@” meta line with at signs in svn diff or git diff mean?

When I clone something from Github, it creates a folder with the same name as the app on my computer. Is there a way to change the name?

For example, doing this clone creates a long &quot;sign-in-with-twitter&quot; folder:

    git clone https://github.com/sferik/sign-in-with-twitter.git

I know I can rename the folder after, but I&#39;m wondering if there&#39;s a way to rename it as it comes in by adding an option at the end of the statement. For example,

    git clone https://github.com/sferik/sign-in-with-twitter.git  as &#39;signin&#39;

the problem is that I&#39;m cloning some apps multiple times in order to tweak some of the settings to get it to work, and if there&#39;s a problem, I delete the folder. But, I&#39;m worried that some of the gems remain installed even though I&#39;ve deleted the folder.

Change name of folder when cloning from GitHub?

I use a fairly complex `git-log` command involving `--date-order` to get an overview of my repository&#39;s status; but unfortunately, `--date-order` seems to use the *committer* date, not the *author* date. That means that each time I bring my topic branches up to date by rebasing them onto the current upstream, I lose the helpful chronological ordering in my `git-log` of relative commits in my topic branches (that is, each branch becomes a single long line, because all of its commits got rebased to sequential and nearly-identical committer timestamps.)

If I could get `git-log` to order commits by the *author* timestamp instead of the *committer* timestamp, this would be solved. Does anybody know of a way to do that?

For those visiting this from Google results, you may want to look into [josephdpurcell](https://stackoverflow.com/users/990642/josephdpurcell)&#39;s solution (and [in-depth blog post](http://thesimplesynthesis.com/post/how-to-sort-git-commits-by-author-date/)!), below. It&#39;s quite excellent, if you&#39;re looking for standard `git-log` style output, multi-line, with detailed messages about each commit.

Unfortunate, I now need to amend this question, because I&#39;m an idiot and didn&#39;t provide more specific information about my use-case: I use `git-log` in “`--graph` mode,” and I need to make **`git-log` itself** operate in author-date-order. As far as I&#39;ve been able to ascertain, this is completely impossible to do from outside `git-log`, because `git-log` *itself* handles the graph ordering and printing.

A script, or patch for `git-log`, may be necessary, it seems. I&#39;ll leave this open until somebody can either 1. write such a script, or 2. we can talk the `git` authors into including a `--author --date-order` combination of flags. (=

For reference, here&#39;s what my current [`glog` function](https://github.com/elliottcable/System/blob/Master/Dotfiles/profile#L180-L189)&#39;s output looks like, and what I need to re-order:

How can I make git log order based on author&#39;s timestamp?

I&#39;m new to git and git flow. I&#39;ve read all the various pages, blogs, and stackoverflow questions on it,and have been using it in my daily development.

But one issue has been bothering me, I just can&#39;t wrap my head around it. I know feature branches are supposed to be small, you start a feature, code a part of it, then finish the feature. This is a daily occurence, I get that. We just make sure that our develop branch is always buildable.

But what happens when I&#39;m in the middle of a feature, it isn&#39;t ready to be finished, but work priorities change? I&#39;d like to be able to switch to another feature. 

For example, I start a new feature.

    $ git flow feature start yak-Speedup

I write code, commit files, etc... and am making good progress on it. But now I need to change what I am working on, mostly like because I need a resource that isn&#39;t available and the server coder won&#39;t have it ready for a day or two. I can&#39;t finish the feature because it will break the develop branch.

I&#39;d like to do something like this:

    $ git flow feature pause yak-Speedup
    $ git flow feature start alpaca-Sheering
    #write code
    $ git flow feature finish alpaca-Sheering
    $ git flow feature resume yak-Speedup

Indeed, the existence of the &quot;git flow feature list&quot; command implies that I can have several features going at the same time. But I don&#39;t see how to create or switch between features. Indeed, I&#39;m starting to think that this isn&#39;t a git flow issue at all, but a git issue.

I appreciate any help. Thanks!
