I don&#39;t know how to do that in the commit message.  But after the merge, this will give the names of all the files affected by the merge commit:

    git log -m --name-only


For only a list of filenames of the commit:

    git log -m -1 --name-only --pretty=&quot;format:&quot; &lt;Merge SHA&gt;

There is some white space due to the merge having two parents but that can be easily removed.

You can also use the [`diff`][1] command to see the difference between any two commits.  If the branches haven&#39;t been merged yet, you can specify the branch names and compare them, otherwise you might need to find where they diverged *([like so][2])* an the last commit before they were merged back together.

    git diff --name-status &lt;commit&gt; &lt;commit&gt;

&gt; `-name-status` Show only names and status of changed files.&#160;

I&#39;m trying to ajax-update a conditionally rendered component.

	&lt;h:form&gt;
        ...
		&lt;h:commandButton value=&quot;Login&quot; action=&quot;#{login.submit}&quot;&gt;
			&lt;f:ajax execute=&quot;@form&quot; render=&quot;:text&quot; /&gt;
		&lt;/h:commandButton&gt;
	&lt;/h:form&gt;
	&lt;h:outputText id=&quot;text&quot; value=&quot;You&#39;re logged in!&quot; rendered=&quot;#{not empty user}&quot; /&gt;

However, that does not work. I can assure that `#{user}` is actually available. How is this caused and how can I solve it?

I have a fairly simple Express.js app with a login component that I&#39;d like to exit early if login fails. I&#39;m seeing indications that the app isn&#39;t doing that and I haven&#39;t found a definitive answer that indicates whether calling `res.send()` halts any further processing. Here&#39;s my code as it stands now:

    client.login( username, password, function( auth, client ) {
      if( !auth ) {
        res.send( 401 );
      }

      // DO OTHER STUFF IF AUTH IS SUCCESSFUL
    }

If I read the source code correctly, it _should_ end the request (aborting further processing), but I&#39;m new to node, so I&#39;m not quite ready to trust what I think I&#39;m reading. To boil it down, I guess I&#39;m mostly looking for a definitive answer from a more trustworthy source that my own interpretation of unfamiliar source code. If `send()` doesn&#39;t abort processing, what&#39;s the right way to do that?

I&#39;m thinking if there is a way that when I merge a branch into another branch that ALL changed files are listed in my commit message and not just the ones which were modified in both branches.
This would give me a better overview of what was changed in the branch just by seeing the merge commit.
Is there a way to do this?

Please, I have a big problem in my project: this is the scenario.
I have an xcode project under GIT. Today I realized that the last commit broke some tests, so i checked out the previous commit.
I used SourceTree and this is the warning

&gt; Doing so will make your working copy a &#39;detached HEAD&#39;, which means you won&#39;t be on a branch anymore. If you want to commit after this you&#39;ll probably want to either checkout a branch again, or create a new branch. Is this ok?

I worked for an entire day and at the end I committed everything.
So I needed to merge my work on develop branch so I checkout the develop branch and...my work instantly disappeared :(

I know it was wrong to detach my HEAD and Sourcetree warned me...but there is a way to restore my work?

Is there a way I can stash just my staged changes? The scenario I&#39;m having issues with is when I&#39;ve worked on several bugs at a given time, and have several unstaged changes. I&#39;d like to be able to stage these files individually, create my .patch files, and stash them away until the code is approved. This way, when it&#39;s approved I can stash my entire (current) session, pop that bug and push the code.

Am I going about this the wrong way? Am I misunderstanding how git can work in other ways to simplify my process?

How can I stash only staged changes in Git?

Suppose I pull changes from a git repo. Then the author of the repo force pushes to the central repo. Now I can&#39;t pull since the history is rewritten.

How can I pull the new commits (and abandon the old ones), assuming that the author force-pushed the correct version?

I know this is bad git workflow, but sometimes you can&#39;t avoid this.

How to pull after a forced git push?

I&#39;m curious why GitHub calls submissions to merge, &quot;Pull requests.&quot;

From my understanding, `git pull` will pull all changes, from a remote repository, into a current working branch.  Then merge those changes with `FETCH_HEAD`. ([Git Pull][1])

So taking a look at `git push`... a push would actually push committed changes to a repository.  And isn&#39;t that what you are doing with a Git repo?  Submitting a &quot;request&quot; to merge your code? So why isn&#39;t it called a &quot;Push request&quot;?

In Linux, my favorite merge tool is Meld, and I&#39;ve had no problems using or configuring it to work with Git.  However, in Windows it has been a different story.

First, I installed Meld from a bundle I found here: https://code.google.com/p/meld-installer/

Then, I configured my .gitconfig like so to support Meld as the default mergetool

    [merge]                                                      
        tool = meld                                                                         

    [mergetool &quot;meld&quot;]                                           
        path = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Meld\\meld\\meld.exe
        keepBackup = false                                   
        trustExitCode = false

So, when I have a conflict, I do git difftool and Meld does in fact open.  However, the paths to the files that Git writes to pass to the diff tool is incorrect.  For example, even though Git generates the BASE, LOCAL, and REMOTE files in the repository directory (the location I called git mergetool from), Meld tries to open each of those files in the directory of the executable.  

Instead of opening C:\repo\roses.txt.LOCAL.2760.txt, Meld tries to open C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\meld\roses.txt.LOCAL.2760.txt.

Has anyone ran into this before or know how to configure Git / Meld to work correctly in Windows?

Is there a good way to merge two objects in Python? Like a built-in method or fundamental library call?

Right now I have this, but it seems like something that shouldn&#39;t have to be done manually:

    def add_obj(obj, add_obj):
 
        for property in add_obj:
            obj[property] = add_obj[property]

Note: By &quot;object&quot;, I mean a &quot;dictionary&quot;: `obj = {}`

I want to know an exact algorithm (or near that) behind &#39;git merge&#39;. The answers at least to these sub-questions will be helpful:

 - How does git detect the context of a particular non-conflicting change?
 - How does git find out that there is a conflict in these exact lines?
 - Which things does git auto-merge?
 - How does git perform when there is no common base for merging branches?
 - How does git perform when there are multiple common bases for merging branches?
 - What happens when I merge multiple branches at once?
 - What is a difference between merge strategies?

But the description of a whole algorithm will be much better.

How does &#39;git merge&#39; work in details?

We use git and have a master branch and developer branches. I need to add a new feature and then rebase the commits to master, then push master to CI server.

The problem is that if I have conflicts during rebase I cannot push to my remote developer branch (on Github) after the rebase is complete, until I pull my remote branch. This causes duplicate commits. When there are no conflicts, works as expected.

question: after rebase and conflict resolution, how do I sync up my local and remote developer branches without creating duplicate commits

Setup:

    // master branch is the main branch
    git checkout master
    git checkout -b myNewFeature
    
    // I will work on this at work and at home
    git push origin myNewFeature
    
    // work work work on myNewFeature
    // master branch has been updated and will conflict with myNewFeature
    git pull --rebase origin master
    
    // we have conflicts
    // solve conflict
    git rebase --continue
    
    //repeat until rebase is complete
    git push origin myNewFeature

    //ERROR
    error: failed to push some refs to &#39;git@github.com:ariklevy/dropLocker.git&#39;
    hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
    hint: its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (e.g. &#39;git pull&#39;)
    hint: before pushing again.
    hint: See the &#39;Note about fast-forwards&#39; in &#39;git push --help&#39; for details.

    // do what git says and pull
    git pull origin myNewFeature
    
    git push origin myNewFeature

    // Now I have duplicate commits on the remote branch myNewFeature

##EDIT##
**So it sounds like this will break the workflow:**

developer1 working on myNewFeature
developer2 working on hisNewFeature
both use master as main branch

developer2 merges myNewFeature into hisNewFeature

developer1 rebases, resolves conflicts, then force pushes to remote branch for myNewFeature

a couple days later, developer2, merges myNewFeature into hisNewFeature again

Will this cause the other developers to hate developer1?






can&#39;t push to branch after rebase

I have a repo called `myrepo` on the remote `beanstalk` server.

I cloned it to my local machine. Created two additional branches: `staging` and `dev`.
Pushed these branches to remote as well.

Now: 

     local                   remote                   server
     --------------------------------------------------------  
     master  ==&gt; Pushes to  `master`  ==&gt; deployed to `prod`
     staging ==&gt; Pushes to  `staging` ==&gt; deployed to `staging`
     dev     ==&gt; Pushes to  `dev`     ==&gt; deployed to `dev`

I have a file called `config.xml` which is different on each branch.

I want to ignore this file only during merges. But I want this to be included when I checkout or commit from/to the repo branch.

The reason I want this is, we have a deploy script that pulls (checkout) the specific branch and deploys on the respective servers. So we need `config.xml` file of that specific branch go into the specific server as indicated above when deployed.

I guess `.gitignore` wont work. What are the other options? Note that the ignored file should be part of checkout and commit, which is important. it should be ignored only during merges.

Thanks!

Git - Ignore files during merge

## Basic Problem

I just deleted ALL the code from a file in my project and committed the change to my local git (on purpose). I did 

    git pull upstream master

to fetch and merge from upstream (so in theory that deleted code should be back).

Git tells me everything is up to date.

Everything is definitely NOT up to date -- all that deleted code is still deleted.

### Other Relevant Info

I only have one branch called &quot;master&quot;.

I recently set up &quot;master&quot; to track upstream like so:

&gt; Branch master set up to track remote branch master from upstream.

The command `git branch -vv` yields:

    * master 7cfcb29 [upstream/master: ahead 9] deletion test

Why why why is this happening?  I&#39;m on the verge of just e-mailing my project manager any changes I make to our code.

## Update

I thought it was obvious, but anyways this is my goal:

**Get the most recent of the code on my system.**

Excuse my anger here, but why does such a simple task as that have to be so hard?


Why does Git say my master branch is &quot;already up to date&quot; even though it is not?

I&#39;ve created lots of branches in one of our repositories. Those branches are for testing before it will be pulled to the master. Now I see lots of them on the list and they we will never use it again. How to delete those branches directly to Bitbucket?

When I was browsing GitHub repositories I quite often saw &quot;wip&quot; branches (e.g. `3.1.0-wip`). What does &quot;wip&quot; mean?

I couldn&#39;t find the answer anywhere - neither on Google nor on GitHub:help.

GitHub: What is a &quot;wip&quot; branch?

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.

How to keep a branch synchronized/updated with master?

I just started using Git and I got really confused between different branches. Can anyone help me to figure out what the following branch types are?

* local branches
* local tracking branches
* remote branches 
* remote tracking branches 

What is the difference between them? And how do they work with each other?

A quick demo code will be really helpful I guess.

How do I use vimdiff to resolve a git merge conflict?

I am working on a Git branch that has some broken tests, and I would like to pull (merge changes, not just overwrite) these tests from another branch where they are already fixed.

I know I can do

    git pull origin that_other_branch

but this will attempt to merge lots of other files, for that I am not yet ready.

Is it possible to pull and merge only the specified file (and not everything) from that another branch?

This is not a duplicate of *[Git pull request for just one file][1]* as all answers to that question are how to revert the locally changed file to the repository version, without changing any branches.
