That&#39;s what [`git cherry-pick`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick) is for. It lets you apply changes by using already existing commits.

The basic syntax is:
```bash
git cherry-pick &lt;commit&gt; ... 
```

I just saw that a beta of Hibernate 4 was released. What&#39;s new in 4 compared to 3(.6)? I couldn&#39;t find this info in the beta announcement, nor when Googling the title of this question.

What&#39;s new in Hibernate 4?

I have a structure similar to the following: 

    /root/
    /root/data/
    /root/data/script.php
    /root/data/some.json
    /root/data/feature/one.json
    /root/data/feature/two.json
    /root/data/other-feature/one.json
    /root/data/other-feature/important-script.php

I&#39;d like git to ignore *any* `.json` files under the &#39;/data/...&#39; path, but &#39;/data/&#39; sometimes contains sub-directories. 

My understanding is that a simple `data/*.json` in gitignore will only match one directory, as the `*` doesn&#39;t match `/`, as stated at http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore, &quot;Pattern Format&quot;, bullet #6: 

&gt;Otherwise, git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable for consumption by fnmatch(3) with the FNM_PATHNAME flag: wildcards in the pattern will not match a / in the pathname. For example, &quot;Documentation/*.html&quot; matches &quot;Documentation/git.html&quot; but not &quot;Documentation/ppc/ppc.html&quot; or &quot;tools/perf/Documentation/perf.html&quot;.

Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to actively add gitignore files in each sub-directory, explicitly?


Git-ignore certain files in sub-directories, but not all

I have this commit that was undone by someone who doesn&#39;t know how to deal with conflicts. Is there an easy way to try auto merging the commit back in? I tried using &quot;merge to master&quot; but it just says up to date. I am using tortoisegit.

I just upgraded my Mac to [Mac&amp;nbsp;OS&amp;nbsp;X&amp;nbsp;v10.7][1] (Lion), and now Git is gone:

    $ git
    -bash: git: command not found

How can I get Git back?

Git on Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion)

I created a new git branch `B` from branch `A` with tracking option.

Now, when `A` branch gets updated by few commits, I want to pull the commits to `B` as well, so I can keep track of it, and do not have to face big change sometimes later.

How should I approach this? Is it automatically done in git?

Updating the current branch from parent branch

I have a Git repository with n commits.

I have a file that I need, and that used to be in the repository, and that I suddenly look for and think &quot;Oh! Where&#39;d that file go?&quot;

Is there a (series of) Git command(s) that will tell me that &quot;file really_needed.txt was deleted at commit n-13&quot;?

In other words, without looking at every individual commit, and knowing that my Git repo has every change of every file, can I quickly find the last commit that HAS that file, so I can get it back?

Find when a file was deleted in Git

My `git` client repeatedly fails with the following error after trying to clone the repository for some time.

What could be the issue here? 

**Note:** I have registered my SSH key with the GIT hosting provider

    Receiving objects:  13% (1309/10065), 796.00 KiB | 6 KiB/s

The remote end hung up unexpectedly while git cloning

I wonder why git tells me this?

    $ git diff MyFile.txt
    diff --git a/MyFile.txt b/MyFile.txt
    index d41a4f3..15dcfa2 100644
    Binary files a/MyFile.txt and b/MyFile.txt differ

Aren&#39;t they text files?

I have checked the `.gitattributes` and it is empty. Why I am getting this message ?, I cannot get diffs as I use to anymore

**ADDED :**


I&#39;ve noticed there is an `@` in the file permissions, what is this ?, Could this be the reason ?

    $ls -all
    drwxr-xr-x   5 nacho4d  staff    170 28 Jul 17:07 .
    drwxr-xr-x  16 nacho4d  staff    544 28 Jul 16:39 ..
    -rw-r--r--@  1 nacho4d  staff   6148 28 Jul 16:15 .DS_Store
    -rw-r--r--@  1 nacho4d  staff    746 28 Jul 17:07 MyFile.txt
    -rw-r--r--   1 nacho4d  staff  22538  5 Apr 16:18 OtherFile.txt


Why does Git treat this text file as a binary file?

I would like to rename file from `README` to `README.md`. What is the best practice to do that?

---
I have only one repo called &quot;change-z-index&quot;.

1) I open and login like that:

    ssh -T git@github.com

And I enter my passphrase.

2) I try to rename the file like that:

    git mv README README.md
    git commit -m &quot;renamed&quot;
    git push origin master

It gives me an error saying **bad source.**

I think I need to select my repo first... it&#39;s name is &quot;change-z-index&quot;. I have read manual many times, but still can&#39;t understand how to do it.

Rename file with Git

I&#39;ve edited my GIT repositories via Git Online. After I tried to push my local code changes, I got an error: 

    Git push failed, To prevent from losing history, non-fast forward updates were rejected.

How can I fix this?

Git push failed, &quot;Non-fast forward updates were rejected&quot;

I have setup a local git on my machine. When I initialized git, I added pre-compiled libs and binaries. However, now during my development I don&#39;t want to check in those files intermittently. I dont want to remove these files from repo. Is there any way to not keep a track of these files till I complete my development. (I think I can not use .gitignore as it works only for those files which are not in git. I want to temporarily disable tracking of files.)

Untrack files from git temporarily

I followed basic Git tutorial and added README file, which worked. Then I copied my project files to the same folder and tried to add them to repository by running
    
    git add --all
    git ci &#39;test&#39; (my alias for commit)
    git push origin master

and nothing got pushed. 

What are the commands I should run to push my files to the remote repository (master)?

I tried to commit changes and run status but it says &#39;nothing to commit&#39;. It does not recognize, that I copied lots of new files to that folder..


OK, so I type: git add .   (get no response from console)
then type to commit, and says no changes..


Git adding files to repo

I&#39;d like to know the differences between doing a Fork of a project and doing a `clone` of it.

Can I only send pull requests via GitHub if I&#39;ve forked a project?

I have made a small change in some code but TortoiseGit shows it as modified (red exclamation sign) although I have committed, pulled, pushed, but it stays. What should I do here? I have not seen this issue before.

TortoiseGit modified sign (icon overlay) is not updating

I just started to work on Git. I use windows 7 and has installed msysgit(1.7.8) and Tortoisegit(1.7.6).
The repository is created on Linux server which is accessible thru LAN. The issue I&#39;m facing is I&#39;m not able to clone the repository using Tortoisegit, it asks for password and I&#39;m not sure what password it is asking.
At the same time I could clone the repository using Git Gui and do all operations.
Can anybody please help me on understanding why Tortoisegit is asking password when Git Gui doesn&#39;t.
I tried uninstalling Git and Tortoisegit and then install again but no success.

I&#39;ve run into this serious error while committing, and [created a bug report][1].

I keep getting this error on TortoiseGit operations:

I&#39;ve reinstalled the program, rebooted, and tried to clone a fresh repo from github - nothing seems to work. I also deleted %appdata%\Tortoise git folder ... I&#39;m at a loss now. Any advice on how to proceed?
