The ‘git branch -d’ subcommand can delete more than one branch. So, simplifying @sblom’s answer but adding a critical xargs: or, further simplified to: Importantly, as noted by @adminndrewC, using git branch for scripting is discouraged. To avoid it use something like: Caution warranted on deletes!
I’ve noticed the following code is legal in Python. My question is why? Is there a specific reason?
Assuming the hash of the commit you want is c5f567: The git checkout man page gives more information. If you want to revert to the commit before c5f567, append ~1 (where 1 is the number of commits you want to go back, it can be anything): As a side note, I’ve always been uncomfortable with this command because it’s used for … Read more
says: throw away all my staged and unstaged changes, forget everything on my current local branch and make it exactly the same as origin/master. You probably wanted to ask this before you ran the command. The destructive nature is hinted at by using the same words as in “hard reset”.
⚠ Important: If you have any local changes, they will be lost. With or without –hard option, any local commits that haven’t been pushed will be lost.[*] If you have any files that are not tracked by Git (e.g. uploaded user content), these files will not be affected. First, run a fetch to update all origin/<branch> refs to latest: Backup your … Read more

You want to undo the merge step, but probably not the fetch (doesn’t make a lot of sense and shouldn’t be necessary). To undo the merge, use git reset –hard to reset the local repository to … Read more
In the simplest terms, git pull does a git fetch followed by a git merge. You can do a git fetch at any time to update your remote-tracking branches under refs/remotes/<remote>/. This operation never changes any of your own local branches under refs/heads, and is safe to do without changing your working copy. I have even heard of people running git fetch periodically in a cron … Read more
GitHub has a nice section called “Dealing with “non-fast-forward” errors“ This error can be a bit overwhelming at first, do not fear.Simply put, git cannot make the change on the remote without losing commits, so it refuses the push.Usually this is caused by another user pushing to the same branch. You can remedy this by … Read more
