There’s no requirement to name the remote repository origin: in fact the same repository could have a different alias for another developer. Remotes are simply an alias that store the URL of repositories. You … Read more
I was always under the impression that you could give a stash a name by doing git stash save stashname, which you could later on apply by doing git stash apply stashname. But it seems that in this case all that happens is that stashname will be used as the stash description. Is there no way to actually name … Read more

As the error message says: git pull before you try to git push. Apparently your local branch is out of sync with your tracking branch. Depending on project rules and your workflow you might also want to use git pull –rebase.

This is the command for the node buildpack.As you can see, it requires a package.json to … Read more

From the release notes: git cherry-pick learned to pick a range of commits (e.g. cherry-pick A..B and cherry-pick –stdin), so did git revert; these do not support the nicer sequencing control rebase [-i] has, though. To cherry-pick all the commits from commit A to commit B (where A is older than B), run: If you want to ignore A itself, … Read more
