My guess is that you are trying to add folder while you already are in folder. Instead, add everything in the folder, rather than the folder itself: To your other question, adding whole folders is fine, but only relevant when adding sub-folders. Again, you can’t git add the folder that is your repository (my_folder above). The usual way to add everything in … Read more
It seems like the first one isn’t working because your user doesn’t have the permissions for changing that directory, and the second because your root user doesn’t have the right SSH keys for accessing that git repository. Depending on what you’re trying to do, it might be better to clone the repository to a different … Read more
If you have not done it already clone the repository from master and then create a local branch in your clone, tracking to your upstream branch. For example When you need to work in your clone, make sure you are on your branch. Work on your branch normally, by committing changes to your branch. Push … Read more
I found that adding “-i” to the commit command fixes this problem for me. The -i basically tells it to stage additional files before committing. That is:
Add node_modules/ or node_modules to the .gitignore file to ignore all directories called node_modules in the current folder and any subfolders like the below image.
I think stash -p is probably the choice you want, but just in case you run into other even more tricky things in the future, remember that: Stash is really just a very simple alternative to the only slightly more complex branch sets. Stash is very useful for moving things around quickly, but you can accomplish more complex things with … Read more
In your local clone of your forked repository, you can add the original GitHub repository as a “remote”. (“Remotes” are like nicknames for the URLs of repositories – origin is one, for example.) Then you can fetch all the branches from that upstream repository, and rebase your work to continue working on the upstream version. In terms … Read more
I did a git commit but I have not pushed it to the repository yet. So when I do git status, I get ‘# Your branch is ahead of ‘master’ by 1 commit. So if I want to roll back my top commit, can I just do: given that when I do git log I get: commit eb27bf26dd18c5a34e0e82b929e0d74cfcaab316 Date: Tue … Read more
I found an incantation that worked for me: then (if you want to merge right away): I was really surprised how hard it was to find an answer to this since it seems like it would be a common use case.
