Using [**git-hg**](https://github.com/offbytwo/git-hg). 

First, make sure there is a (non-Mercurial) git submodule under your main repository. If you don&#39;t have other submodules yet, just create a dummy submodule for some library other than `core-plot`, for instance:

    main-repo $ git submodule add https://repo.url.com/repo.git repo

Second, clone the `core-plot` library into some directory.

    main-repo $ git-hg clone  https://code.google.com/p/core-plot/ core-plot
    
Add the new repo to the submodule list.

    main-repo $ git submodule add ./core-plot core-plot
    main-repo $ git commit -am &quot;added core-plot submodule&quot;

From now on, any clone from this repo will pull both repositories. (After submodule init and update).

Some problems I found out so far are:

 - If you push to a bare, then the repo link and the directory will be created in the bare, but the repository will not be cloned inside it and others pulling from that bare will not be able to get the core-plot lib.
 - If core-plot needs to be updated the one with the `git-hg` will have to `git-hg pull`.

The converse question [*git submodule from Hg repo?*](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1072602/git-submodule-from-hg-repo) is also asked on StackOverflow. The best answer mentions projects [**hg-git**](https://github.com/schacon/hg-git) and git-hg. Another related converse question is, [*How to deal with Git submodules on a repo that is converted to Mercurial*](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5612337/how-to-deal-with-git-submodules-on-a-repo-that-is-converted-to-mercurial).


In my experience, most active non-git projects have an up-to-date git mirror floating around on GitHub.  It looks like `core-plot` has one too:

https://github.com/djw/core-plot

If you&#39;re willing to rely on whoever set that mirror up, it seems like it might be the easiest option to get a submodule in place.

I know this question has been asked before, but after a search on the web I can&#39;t seem to find a straight forward answer.

**the HTML**

    &lt;a id=myAnchor href=index.php&gt;

**the jQuery** (Both of these do not work)

     $(&#39;#myAnchor&#39;).click();

or 

    $(&#39;#myAnchor&#39;).trigger(&#39;click&#39;);

What is the simplest and most efficient way to achieve this?

Is it possible to use Microsoft&#39;s XML document transform, for preparing web.configs, outside of MSBuild? I would like to use PowerShell to do these transform without having to run this through the MSBuild engine.  If Microsoft had used standard XSLT it would be easy to do in PowerShell.  From what I can tell I have to use their C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks.dll which requires a build engine. 
Thanks

I been happily using submodules to track all the libraries my project depends from. 
The thing is I&#39;m using a library called core-plot that only has a public mercurial repository. 
I can probably mirror it in a readonly Git repository, but is this the best option I got? 
I had seen there is modules in Mercurial to track things in Git.  Someone know if the other way around exists?

Using `gitk log`, I could not spot a difference between the effect of `git merge` and `git merge --no-ff`. How can I observe the difference (with a git command or some tool)?

What effect does the `--no-ff` flag have for `git merge`?

The sysadmin for a project I&#39;m on has decided that SSH is &quot;too much trouble&quot;; instead, he has set up Git to be accessible via an `https://` URL (and username/password authentication). The server for this URL presents a self-signed certificate, so he advised everyone to turn off certificate validation. This does not strike me as a good setup, security-wise.

Is it possible to tell Git that for remote X (or better, any remote in any repository that happens to begin with `https://$SERVERNAME/`) it is to accept a particular certificate, and *only* that certificate?  Basically reduplicate SSH&#39;s server-key behavior.

I have two tags in my git in same branch. There are at least 5-6 commits between them. How can I create a single patch between the two tags so that it can be applied to a GitHub repo?

How to create patch between two tags with multiple commits between them?

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).

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.

Git - Moving Pushed Commits to a Different Branch

I found myself amending my commits quite often. I don&#39;t `stash` so much because I tend to forget I did so, especially when I want to save what I did before I leave or before a weekend, so I do a &quot;draft&quot; commit. Only thing is, when I amend the commit, it is still set to the original author date. Is there a (simple) way to update it when amending?

I recently started a Django project and I quickly realized that virtualenv will be really useful for many reasons. I set up the virtualenv and my project, but now I wonder what file I should add to my source control (in my case, Mercurial). Should I add all the files under the venv folder? How do I make sure a colleague can clone and get started to work immediately withou having to setup the env again?

Virtualenv and source version control

There&#39;ve been several questions recently about skipping changes when maintaining release branches in Mercurial. For example:

 * [Mercurial: Branch specific changes keep coming back after dummy merge][1]
 * [Why are Mercurial backouts in one branch affecting other branches?][2]

Since it was introduced in 2.0, I&#39;ve wondered about using `graft` to avoid this problem. Given a revision tree like this:

    A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H---I---J

Suppose we need to create a release branch that skips the Evil change `E`.

    hg update -r D
    hg graft &quot;F::J&quot;

giving us:

    A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H---I---J
                 \
                  --F&#39;--G&#39;--H&#39;--I&#39;--J&#39;

 - Q1: What just happened here? I can understand that `transplant` would have generated patches out of `F::J`, and then applied them onto `D`, but `graft` is said to use the 3-way merge rather than patches. So....... how does that work? Why is it better?

Lets say I now fix `E`, and merge that into my release branch.

                      --E2-----------------
                     /                     \
    A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H---I---J---M1
                 \                            \
                  --F&#39;--G&#39;--H&#39;--I&#39;--J&#39;---------M2--

M1 is a straight merge; nothing special there.
M2 is merging branches which have &quot;the same&quot; (or at least equivalent) changes on.

 - Q2: Is this merge just a normal 3-way merge using `D`, `J&#39;` and `M1`?
 - Q3: Has mercurial stored/used extra information about the graft operation to help it with the merge?

And finally...

 - Q4: What are the potential problems with a flow like this?

Consequences of using graft in Mercurial

I switched to a branch on my local repo and noticed it gave me message showing x files updated. This surprised me as I didn&#39;t know there were any differences on that branch.  How do I compare that branch with the default branch to see what has changed?

I don&#39;t have a huge experience with Mercurial, I&#39;m mostly a Git guy.

I would love to mirror a specific Mercurial folder/file in a git Repository. What I&#39;m actually trying to do is to export the history of a file from a Mercurial repository to Git and being able to keep this in sync with future commits.

Do you have any suggestion on how to proceed? I believe that the way to go should be to get the history of the Mercurial patch, periodically export every single commit as a patch and apply the Mercurial patches to the Git repository.

Converting Mercurial folder to a Git repository

If I have a bunch of uncommitted changes and want to set it aside while working on something else instead, and then later (f.i. after several days) come back to it and proceed working. What would be the easiest workflow to accomplish this? (So far I have only experience with Mercurial&#39;s basic functionality). My usual method was to create a new branch using clone, but there might be better ways.

How do I put a bunch of uncommitted changes aside while working on something else

We are moving our (huge) project to git and we are thinking about using submodules. Our plan is to have three different heads in the superproject:

&gt; release, stable, latest

The project leads will handle the release and stable branches. They will move the submodules as required.

The issue is the &quot;latest&quot; head. We would like the superproject &quot;latest&quot; head to track the master branches of all the submodules (automatically). And also it would be great if it would show the history of all commits to the submodule. 

I have looked at gitslave, but it is not quite what we want. Any suggestions?

git submodule tracking latest

I have a submodule in a project in Jenkins. I&#39;ve enabled the advanced setting to recursively update submodules.

When I run the build, I see that the workspace has the files from the submodule. The problem is, it seems to be the first revision of the submodule. When I push changes (repository hosted on GitHub) Jenkins doesn&#39;t seem to update the submodule to get the right changes. Has anyone ever seen this?



Git submodules not updating in Jenkins build

My project struture

    ProjectA
    -FrameworkA (submodule)
    --Twig (submodule of FrameworkA)

How I can update submodules recursively? I already tried some git commands (on ProjectA root)

    git submodule foreach git pull origin master

or

    git submodule foreach --recursive git pull origin master

but cannot pull files of Twig.

Git update submodules recursively

I love git submodules.  Also, I hate git submodules.  What I love about them is how it enables to you to cleanly compartmentalize dependencies etc.  I get the point of having them point to a specific commit on a repo, I do.  But in my case, I&#39;m building a library that will be used in another project, so I want to keep it in that seperate repo.

However, the annoyance comes when I&#39;m working on a daily basis on this library and I constantly have to switch back to the app using my library to commit the pointer update.

So, is it possible to have a git submodule just always be on the head of the repo it&#39;s pointing at while I&#39;m constantly updating and adding to this library?


Force Git submodules to always stay current

I have a git submodule (RestKit) which I have added to my repo.

I accidentally changed some files in there and I&#39;d like to go back to the source version. In order to do that, I tried to run 

    Mac:app-ios user$ git submodule update RestKit

But as you can see here, this did not work as it is still &quot;modified content&quot;:

    Mac:app-ios user$ git status
    ...
    #	modified:   RestKit (modified content)

Even 

    Mac:app-ios user$ git submodule update -f RestKit 

doesn&#39;t revert locally modified files.  
How do I reset the content of that submodule?
