In that case you could to use [Git Filter Branch][1] command with `--tree-filter` option.

syntax is `git filter-branch --tree-filter &lt;command&gt; ...`


    git filter-branch --tree-filter &#39;rm -f Resources\Video\%font%.ttf&#39; -- --all


---
**Edit Updated**

Note that `git filter-branch` `--index-filter` is much faster than `--tree-filter`

    git filter-branch --index-filter &#39;rm -f Resources\Video\%font%.ttf&#39; -- --all

---
&gt; In windows had to use `/` instead of `\`.
---
*Explanation about the command:*

`&lt; command &gt;` Specify any shell command.

`--tree-filter:`Git will check each commit out into working directory, run your command, and re-commit.

`--index-filter:` Git updates git history and not the working directory.

`--all:` Filter all commits in all branches.

**Note:** Kindly check the path for your file as I&#39;m not sure for the file path

Hope this help you.

According to the official git docs, using `git filter-branch` [is strongly discouraged][1], and the recommended approach is to use the contributed [git-filter-repo][2] command.

[Install][3] it (via package, or with package python3-pip, do a [pip install][4]).

The command to exorcise `filename` [is then][5]:

    git filter-repo --invert-paths --path filename

The `--invert-paths` option indicates to exclude, not include the following paths.

`git filter-branch --index-filter &#39;git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch Resources\Video\%font%.ttf&#39; HEAD` can be much (up to 100x) faster than `--tree-filter` because it only updates git history and not the working directory.

I have uploaded a font file that I don&#39;t have the rights to distribute to git hub several updates ago. 

I have a relatively inactive repository and I have the ability to notify all of my members if necessary. I&#39;ve tried several of the solutions. I need to delete a file in my directory called `Resources\Video\%font%.ttf` where `%font%` is the name of the plain, italicized and bold versions of the font. What commands do I use?

How can I tell cherry-pick to pick range of commits and squash it?

Or in other words, apply the diff between two commits to the current state of the repository?

The following does _not_ work (cherry-pick has no --squash option):

    git cherry-pick --squash e064480..eab48b59c

Note: My use case is within a subtree scenario - before anyone starts arguing that I should not squash.

The following works, but then I have a range of separate commits. I can squash them manually with interactive rebase afterwards.

    git cherry-pick -X subtree=vendor/package e064480..eab48b59c

Is there any way to do the squashing as part of the cherry-pick?

**Background info:** 

Due to restrictions in workflow with out existing systems, we need to set up a somewhat unorthodox git process. 

    (patch)    A-B---F
      	         |   |
    (hotfix)     C-D-E
    		         |
    (dev)	   1-2-3-G
On the patch branch, there are some commits. The files here are similar but not identical to the ones on dev (sync scripts switch around the order of settings in many of the files, making them appear changed while they are functionally the same). 

A fix is needed on this branch so a hotfix branch is created and worked on. This branch is then merged back into patch, so far, so good.

This same fix needs to be deployed to the dev branch so it stays relatively in sync with patch, but trying to merge the hotfix branch leads to git trying to merge all the unrelated and &#39;unchanged&#39; files from A and B as well, rather than only C,D and E.

**Question:**

It seems that cherry-pick does what we want in terms of only getting changes from selected commits, but I would really like a way to cherry-pick all commits in a given branch at once, without having to look up the commit ids every time.  

How to git cherrypick all changes introduced in specific branch

We want to automatically merge out from master to another long-lived branch whenever any changes are committed to master (at the moment, this is a manual process and people forget)

I appreciate that it may not always be possible, owing to merge conflicts, but if it is possible, we&#39;d like it to happen automatically.

Is this possible?

I&#39;ve created a merge (into the &#39;master&#39; branch) that&#39;s now on a Bitbucket repo. Long story short: I need to undo that merge. 

I know that you can do this at the Github site itself, but Bitbucket doesn&#39;t have that feature. I&#39;m not clear on how to do this with Git without causing a mess.





How to undo a merge on Bitbucket?

I&#39;m trying to see my markdown nested list items rendered with corresponding indentation when viewed in a browser live from the Bitbucket pages. But I can&#39;t figure out how it works even when using [their examples][1] ([updated][fix-docs]):

    * Item 1
    * Item 2
    * Item 3
      * Item 3a
      * Item 3b
      * Item 3c

It ignores indentation for items 3a-c:

[![bitbucket rendered list][2]][2]

I want it to look like this (syntax works perfectly fine on SE and Github):

[![SE rendered list][3]][3]

Their [list in list][4] example is particularly unacceptable:

    1. Step 1
    2. Step 2
    3. Step 3
       * Item 3a
       * Item 3b
       * Item 3c

How to markdown nested list items in Bitbucket?

I migrated my repos from Bitbucket or Github.  I don&#39;t think this matters but it&#39;s the only thing different. For a little while, I had two remotes set up:

    origin: bitbucket
    github: github

Then I removed both and pointed origin to github:

    git remote remove origin
    git remote remove github
    git remote add origin https://github....

Test push of develop branch:

    git push origin develop

Everything up to date, ok, good.

Create a new branch for some work as per usual:

    git checkout -b Feature/Name

Update a file or two.  Attempt to push to remote:

    git push origin Feature/Name

This results in the error:

&gt; fatal: Feature/Name cannot be resolved to branch

Search online for this issue, find some stuff about ensuring HEAD is correct, others about making sure I&#39;ve got my branch name case correct (though, at this point the branch doesn&#39;t exist on the remote yet).  Unable to resolve.

Ran this command:

    git push --all -u

This got my `Feature/Name` branch to github, but still see same behavior as prior:

    git push origin develop
    git push origin Feature/Name

The first works while the second throws the same error. Why?

Can&#39;t push to remote branch, cannot be resolved to branch

I&#39;ve created a pull request and I&#39;ve merged it to an wrong branch. How can I revert it?

As far I&#39;ve been to figuring out taking a look over there, I&#39;m able to hard reset the destination branch... but, how about the pull request in `origin` repository?

I&#39;m using Bitbucket and I&#39;ve created the pull request from SourceTree (opening the Bitbucket page).

I&#39;ve three branches I&#39;m working on: `master`, `dev` and `create-alias`. `create-alias` was set up from `dev` and `dev` from `master`: `master -&gt; dev -&gt; create-alias`. The problem is I made a pull request from `create-alias` and I did merge it into `master` instead of `dev`.

I&#39;m working on `create-alias` branch right now. The last commit on `create-alias` is `6ee20f9` and the merged commit on `master` is `be36f72`.

Could you write me down a bit about who to step-by-step revert it?

As far I&#39;ve been able to figure out:

 1. checkout on `master`.
 2. revert -m 1 `6ee20f9`.
 3. push.
 4. checkout on `create-alias` and going on working.

Isn&#39;t it?

I am currently trying to recursively delete a directory... Strangely enough the shortest piece of code I was able to find is the following construct, employing an *ad-hoc inner class* and in a *visitor pattern*...


	Path rootPath = Paths.get(&quot;data/to-delete&quot;);

	try {
	  Files.walkFileTree(rootPath, new SimpleFileVisitor&lt;Path&gt;() {
		@Override
		public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
		  System.out.println(&quot;delete file: &quot; + file.toString());
		  Files.delete(file);
		  return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
		}

		@Override
		public FileVisitResult postVisitDirectory(Path dir, IOException exc) throws IOException {
		  Files.delete(dir);
		  System.out.println(&quot;delete dir: &quot; + dir.toString());
		  return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
		}
	  });
	} catch(IOException e){
	  e.printStackTrace();
	}

Source: [here][1]

This feels horribly clumsy and verbose, given that the new `nio` APIs remove so much clutter and boilerplate...

**Is there any shorter way of achieving a forced, recursive directory delete?**

I&#39;m looking for pure native Java 1.8 methods, so please don&#39;t link to external libraries...

Java.nio: most concise recursive directory delete

The below code only deletes the first file it gets inside the web dir. I want to remove all the files and folders inside the web directory and retain the web directory. How can I do that? 

```lang-yml
- name: remove web dir contents
    file: path=&#39;/home/mydata/web/{{ item }}&#39; state=absent
    with_fileglob:
      - /home/mydata/web/*
```

Note: I&#39;ve tried `rm -rf` using command and shell, but they don&#39;t work. Perhaps I am using them wrongly.

Any help in the right direction will be appreciated.

I am using ansible 2.1.0.0
