As I mentioned in "Why does Git use a cryptographic hash function?", it is "safe" in term of data integrity (Linus Torvalds, 2007):
We check checksums that is considered cryptographically secure. Nobody has been able to break SHA-1, but the point is, SHA-1 as far as git is concerned, isn't even a security feature. It's purely a consistency check.
The security parts are elsewhere.
A lot of people assume since git uses SHA-1 and SHA-1 is used for cryptographically secure stuff, they think that it's a huge security feature. It has nothing at all to do with security, it's just the best hash you can get.
Having a good hash is good for being able to trust your data
This has nothing to do with:
privacy (which doesn't depend on Git itself, but on the Git hosting server, like gitHub or BitBucket)
user identity (to really be sure about a commit user, as Thilo comments, you can sign commits (see "A Git Horror Story: Repository Integrity With Signed Commits")
The OP add:
what I mean is the owner of gitlab or github may steal our code
This is a question of trust: Does the git hosting server have access to your code if it is in a private repo? Technically yes.
Will they access your private code? As mentioned in "Can third party hosts be trusted for closed-source/private source code management?", nothing prevents them to.
Yet, many startups have their private code on, for instance, GitHub.
If you have real confidentiality concern, then it is important you keep the ownership of the all codebase, including the server where it is stored (meaning having your own Git repo hosting server).

Is it dangerous to keep code in gitlab and github?
I heard it is quite safe to commit our code to gitlab and github.
The reason is every code is hashed and it is nearly impossible for everyone to alter the code without using git tool.
Is this true?

This doesn't seem possible as of May 2023: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/4364

I have a directory /experiments in my repo which contains - surprise! - experiments. Those usually come with their own package.json which includes dependencies that were up to date at the time I made the experiment but might be outdated by now. I have no intent to keep them up to date as the experiments are just proofs of concepts - concepts I might want to use later in the project but I would then implement anew in the main project.
Unfortunately Dependapot sends me a lot of PRs that are about those dependencies in /experiments. Many of them require manual efforts on my end. So I would like to tell Dependabot to not send any notifications or create PRs for everything that is in the /experiments directory (but keep creating PRs for dependencies in the main project).
I didn't really find much docs about how to configure Dependabot on GitHub, but I came up with this:
/.github/dependabot.yml:
version: 2
updates:
# Ignore experiments:
- package-ecosystem: "npm"
directory: "/experiments"
schedule:
interval: "daily"
ignore:
- dependency-name: "*"
It doesn't seem to work though. Today I received another PR from Dependabot that bumped one of the dependencies in /experiments. It was automatically merged, so no effort on my end, but still a bit annoying.
How can I do this right?
|
Can I exclude directories from GitHub Dependabot?
|
According to the documentation, this is possible with the option target-branch. For example, if you want to have the updates from the branch develop, you can write the following configuration for the python pip environment:
version: 2
updates:
- package-ecosystem: "pip"
directory: "/"
schedule:
interval: "daily"
# Raise pull requests for version updates
# to pip against the `develop` branch
target-branch: "develop"
# Labels on pull requests for version updates only
labels:
- "pip dependencies"
|
Like the title says, on GitHub is it possible to manually select a branch against which Dependabot should open its Pull Requests?
From what I can see, it opens PR against whichever branch is set to be the main one in the repo settings, but it is possible to select another one?
|
Is it possible to select a specific branch against which Dependabot should open PR's?

Gist API doesn't provide any such way to embed part of a gist. However you can do it yourself with javascript in your end.
there is a good library you can use:
https://github.com/kashif-umair/gist-embed/
You can embed parts of a gist with this.
|
Gist lets you embed a gist in a web page:
<script src="https://gist.github.com/dyoo/4627246.js"></script>
I was hoping I could have it display just a line range subset. (Use case: Write some code for a blog post in a single gist. Reference certain lines throughout the blog post discussing those lines.)
Is this possible? I can't find it documented, but is there some way to do it?
As an example of how I thought it might work, GitHub supports URIs with line numbers. For example, the #L4-L8 anchor in this:
https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/master/docs/base-css.html#L4-L8
I realize GitHub shows all lines with just those lines highlighted. Whereas I'm asking how to show just certain lines from a Gist. I mention this just for-example, how I guessed it might work.
p.s According to How do I embed a single file from a GitHub gist with the new gist interface?, it sounds like this recently moved in the opposite direction from what I'm asking: The ability to embed just one file from a gist recently disappeared. I want to display just certain lines from just one file. But I wanted to ask anyway. Also I think this is a distinct question from that, which is why I posted this instead of commenting the existing question.

Update May 2021: as I already reported in "How to embed a video into GitHub README.md?", "Video uploads now is generally available"
Original answer 20217:
No, as I documented before, an <audio> element (or video) is not supported in GitHub Markdown.
For video, a workaround is to use an animated GIF, but for audio, having a placeholder linking to the actual audio seems to be the only way.
|
Is there a way to add an audio bar in the Github readme.md? I want to be able to play a certain mp3 file directly through the readme.md, rather than be directed to some soundcloud or youtube link.

Reverting on GitHub
You don't need to restore (undelete) branches on GitHub to revert merge commits resulting from pull requests. For example:
Non-revertible pull request
Sometimes the revert button doesn't appear. From GitHub Help on reverting a pull request:
Note: You may need to use Git to manually revert the individual commits if:
Reverting the pull request causes merge conflicts
The original pull request was not originally merged on GitHub (for example, using a fast-forward merge on the command line)
It took me a while to find an example, but if the head branch wasn't merged into the base branch using the big green button on GitHub then it can't be reverted on GitHub:
git revert
Locally on the command line, you can use the git revert command to revert changes.
This will work on both your protected branch and a downstream branch. git revert creates a new commit ahead of the current HEAD so you don't need to force push, and if from a downstream branch, you can manually create a pull request for the reverted changes.
Reverting a merge commit is slightly more complicated than reverting a single-parent commit, so I'd suggest taking a look at this question for more information, as it's something I've never done before.
If people aren't comfortable using the command line, I think SourceTree has an item on the context menu to revert a commit but I don't know how it handles merge commits. There might be similar options in other GUI applications.
Hope this helps!

We have protected our develop branch on GitHub so that nobody downstream can push their commit directly. The commits need to go through specific feature branch and get merged through a pull request.
There came a scenario where a feature branch is merged into the develop branch (after proper review and changes) and we are required to revert it later (maybe due to changes in requirements). If I try to revert the merge commit downstream, it will not allow me to push, since the branch is protected. I remember GitHub providing revert button when we merge the branch. But somehow I am not able to see (or find) the button now. We needed to revert the commit on priority so we removed the protection from the develop branch for the time being and pushed the revert commit (ugliest hack).
Are there any other better alternative for reverting a commit from protected branch? Maybe I am missing or misunderstood some GitHub features.
One more scenario is, what if I have deleted the branch from GitHub after I have merged, how would I revert it then?

Apparently, repository_dispatch events may only be read on the default branch
See:
this example (or this one) using workflow_dispatch
this example with repository_dispatch
For the latter, from William Villeneuve :
# TODO: replace :token, :user, and :repo
curl -H "Authorization: token :token" \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.everest-preview+json' \
"https://api.github.com/repos/:user/:repo/dispatches" \
-d '{"event_type": "awesomeness", "client_payload": {"foo": "bar"}}'
name: example-client-payload-action
on: repository_dispatch
jobs:
test:
name: Test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- run: 'echo "field: ${{ github.event.client_payload.foo }}"'
- run: 'echo "payload: ${{ toJson(github.event.client_payload) }}"'
- run: echo baz
if: github.event.action == 'baz'
As seen here:
Just posting here since it doesn't seem to be documented - you can also specify a list of types to trigger on:

types:
- manual-trigger-mytest
- manual-trigger-all

Github has changed their web pages over time to help users explore more ways of diffing their data.
At the time of your question, you were correct that you could secretly append ?w=1 to ignore whitespace.
Recently they added a control to the Pull-request page, where you can toggle whitespace without using commandline, see screenshot
However, (as you ask), it is probably unlikely that Github will add many, many diff settings that helps you differently depending on the context of your problem.
For instance git diff --word-diff may help you in your particular case because of the long lines. But it will give you problems with any +-{} characters, since they are not escaped.
Then you could use git diff --color-words, where you only get the differences in color (and no special characters are inserted.
As a third option you could also use git diff --word-diff-regex="." which will diff any single changed character (as opposed to the standard word breaks above.
I sometimes need to view XML file diffs, and sometimes they are concatenated to a single line. And in that case I can sometimes be lucky and normalize the files before and after. Git also has options for that. See git-attributes for examples involving smudge/clean
So, don't expect too many diff controls on a github page: The controls you may need vary too much to make sense in any usecase. Instead, use the command line

I'm exploring usage of github for text versioning. A major problem with github is the fact that changes are by line. So if you make a word or phrase change that is rather granular, the whole line appears to have been changed.
In git itself, there's a solution for this because you can activate the --word-diff option on the git diff command. You end up with nice diffs that looks like this:
Is there any support for this in github? Some kind of query param that one can add to a url, similar to the white space exclusions option with ?w=1?
|
Possible to enable the word-diff option in github to see more granular changes to a line?

I'm using more and more dev packages installed from github.
I find myself wondering if there is an easy way to update these packages?
Essentially looking for something like update.packages() equivalent for install_github() (or indeed any other repo than CRAN).
Similar question for R-forge has some ideas:
Automatically update packages installed from R-forge
Maybe the best way to do this would be to install dev packages in their own separate directory:

keep a tab on packages as they are installed, and try re-installing list regularly.
Any thoughts?

I replaced tabs with four spaces in Notepad++ (Ctrl+H), and it works. You can use any numbers of spaces.
Those tabs are automatically displayed as a 8-character-tab in Github Gist.

When creating a Gist on Github there is a setting for indentation (tabs or spaces; size 2, 4, or 8). After setting indents to tabs size 4, it changes to tabs size 8 after I save it. Editing it afterwords doesn't do anything. Other settings don't produce the expected result either. Am I misunderstanding this feature somehow? Can't find any documentation regarding this.

Are you the owner of the GitHub project and do you have the administrator role setup with your account (or can you grant administrator access to your account)?
In this case I would recommend you not to protect the branch for administrators. This way you can guarantee that other persons are not pushing directly to develop, but all "knowledged devs" with administrator access are able to. They should be aware of what they are doing, though.
You can edit this behaviour under https://github.com/${name}/${repo}/settings/branches/. My settings do look like this (the last checkbox is important):
Note: maybe you could also use the "Restrict who can push to this branch" option.

That is not really a solution in my opinion, as people protect their branches for a reason. To bypass that is to negate those choices.
– Thermometer
May 3, 2018 at 7:56
I know what you mean @Thermometer and I would agree. If your branches are protected from everybody on the team you would most likely not use gitflow but another way to review and merge your changes. However, the OP seems to be the admin of the repo, since he can change the restrictions manually. So I assumed he wants to have protected branches for other contributors, but also wants to use gitflow for himself. In this case my proposal is (afaik) the only option.
– Stefan Medack
May 3, 2018 at 8:11
Yeah it is a fine workaround. We are however also searching for a solution that works with these Github branch restrictions and the git flow commandline tool or concept.

I've got a repository with my develop branch protected and I'm using the GitFlow branching model. There's two branches; develop (containing features currently being developed) and master (latest deployed production code).
My develop branch prevents commits being directly made via GitHub's Protected branches. When you locally finish a hotfix using GitFlow, it automatically merges the hotfix branch into your local master and develop branches. However, pushing changes directly on the develop branch are not permitted as this is a protected branch
How can you overcome this? At the minute everytime I am creating a hotfix I have to:
Manually turn off the branch protection
Push the develop branch
Turn it back on
This is not automated and therefore, not really acceptable.

So finally it worked. I've removed changed files in local folder - then suddenly git status started to see, that those files are missing. So I've restored them and git status started to see, that files are modified.
|
I've created git repository, added code and pushed it to GitHub.
Then locally, I've edited the file Eila.Analyser/Program.cs, that was added to GitHub in first commit, saved it and git status says there's no changes.
Ok, I think, must have messed something up, git reset --hard HEAD, and as I understand that should revert everything, but my file is not reverted.
So I think I'm doing something wrong. I edit file in root folder, git status- shows there are changes, works as suspected, so it works on files in root folder, but not in sub folders.
Am I missing something obvious here?
UPDATE: Evidence, that file I'm editing was really commited (git log --stat):
if it helps, tree picture:
UPDATE2: Ok, I thought I really messed something up, so I've deleted folder, where was my solution, cloned once again from gitHub, and my local code still differs from existing in gitHub and git status sees no changes, git log origin/master..HEAD gives nothing.

How to use GPG key in github actions?

This error message is found in some similar StackOverflow questions: here, here. Googling brings up a mailing list message with this error. Nobody has given an explanation why it occurs, so I thought I'd add what I've found.
Some overview of terminology, from the man git page:
GIT COMMANDS
We divide git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level ("plumbing") commands.
From the above posts, it would appear that, when git status is run, it calls git status --porcelain. man git-status helpfully informs us what the --porcelain flag is for:
--porcelain
Give the output in an easy-to-parse format for scripts. This is similar to the short output, but will remain
stable across git versions and regardless of user configuration. See below for details.
So the issue you have is related to the git status call, which is by default trying to format its output into something easy to parse.
From the above posts, noticably the answers here and the mailing list contentets, I would suggest that, for whatever reason, your git repository has become corrupted. If you're using submodules, it's possible one of those has become corrupted - this is relevant because
status run "git status --porcelain" inside each populated
submodule to see if it contains changes (link)
unless explicitly told not to do so.
As to why you seem to have a corrupted git repository? I don't know. Several other people on StackOverflow have mentioned overwriting, moving, replacing, or generally fiddling with .git directories in their repositories. Luckily, you have a backup, though, right? ;)

I stumbled upon this when encountering the same error and I was already on the latest version of gpg (2.2.17). For me, it turned out to be multiple things.
Before committing I had to run $ export GPG_TTY=$(tty). This then prompted the passphrase prompt to appear.
If I used a passphrase with a special character it didn't work (the prompt said I had a bad passphrase when trying to use), so I had to only use alphanumeric characters.
And if you're doing this to get verified commits on GitHub ensure the name and email address match what you have on GitHub.

If I set my Git to sign with my GPG key it fails. I've tried GIT_TRACE and it doesn't really give me any more info:

fatal: failed to write commit object
When I try to run 'gpg' '--status-fd=2' '-bsau' 'SECRETKEYID' it just hangs after saying BEGIN_SIGNING H8 and doesn't do anything anymore.
Any ideas on how to solve this or avenues as to research?

Here is the simplest solution I've found:
1) Log in to your gitHub account on github.com
2) In the main tab click on Settings
3) From the main navigation of Services find Email and click it
4) Fill in your email address in field Address
5) Check the checkbox Send from Author
6) Check the checkbox Active
7) Click on Update Settings
Optional: You can click on Test Hook for testing, check your inbox you should receive email. -> Will become available when you finish Update Settings in step 7)
Also there are images made according to the process:
And now for the grand final I have the answer which is tested and approved at my side.
How to send email to ALL development team members, when gitHub's Service Hooks->Email allows only at most 2 recipients }.
The answer is combination of Service Hook->Email @ GitHub && Google groups
First login to your google account
Go to Google Groups and at the top click on Create Group
Type in Group Name, Group email address (will copy/paste into GitHub
Service Hook->Email Address), Group description
After that hit Create button at the top, your new group should be
created now
After that in the menu to the left hit Invite members and type
in the email addresses of your team mates
After that hit Send invites (when your members accept
invitation) they are now formally members of this group
In the menu on the left click on All Members and check the 4th
column called Delivery, every team member should have option
All Email.
After that I would like to credit Mr. Clement Escoffier and
please do follow his guidelines @ Clement Escoffier::Send Github commits to a Google Group on how to

Also, I found repository url's ending like this .git but my repo address is simply this https://github.com/sonyzach/usfm-validator
How can I add my repo url in my package.json?
Which format need to add in package.json?

If you do a git pull with a remote branch name, it will fetch the remote branch and then merge it into your current local branch. So to undo that, you will first have to reset your local branch to the remote master, then create a new local vs12up branch from the corresponding remote branch.
Reset your local master to match the remote repository's master (WARNING: be sure that you don't have any uncommitted changes you want to keep before issuing the following command):
git reset --hard origin/master
Fetch all remote branches into your local repository:
git fetch origin
Create a new local vsup12 branch from the remote vsup12 branch, and switch to this new local branch:
git checkout -b vsup12 origin/vsup12
Note that when you subsequently just do a master0 while switched to the master1 branch, you'll fetch and merge the latest changes from the master2 branch on Github into your local master3
|
I have a repository on Github, aav1
On my laptop I have two branches, one called master and one called vs12up
The master branch was when the software was Visual Studio 2008, vs12up is converted to Visual Studio 2012.
On my laptop everything seems fine and I pushed the new branch to github, appears correct.
On my desktop I tried to pull the remote branch:
git pull origin vs12up
It wrote the changes to my master branch on the desktop, git log shows the commits made on the vs12up branch, but git branch only shows master, which is the current branch.
How can I revert the changes to the master branch and pull the vs12up branch on my desktop to match the repository on my laptop?

I just found out that there's another button at github that says "Git Read-only". It gives a similar but slightly different URL that works:
git://github.com/mikehaertl/phpwkhtmltopdf.git
EDIT: As @damick pointed out below the button seems to be gone now. But you can still manually change the original URL to match the pattern shown here.
|
As an anonymous user (no public key stored at github) I try to clone a public repository through the git@... URL. But it fails:
$ git clone [email protected]:mikehaertl/phpwkhtmltopdf.git
Cloning into 'phpwkhtmltopdf'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
So does this mean, github does not allow anonymous access through the SSH protocol? If so, is this documented somewhere?

You could assign the issue to one of them and @-mention the GitHub usernames of the others, which will subscribe them to updates for that issue. If you have groups of people who will often be assigned together, you could also create teams within an organization to mention them all at once.
UPDATE: GitHub just shipped multiple assignees, so, now you can!

First, make sure this is authorship, not "author" and "committer".
If we are talking about two authors (as seen in the picture below) ,then this recent, since GitHub only announced it a few days ago (January 2018):
"Commit together with co-authors"
To add co-authors to a commit, just add one or more "Co-authored-by" trailers to the end of the commit message:
Commit message
Co-authored-by: Joel Califa <[email protected]>
Co-authored-by: Matt Clark <[email protected]>
Include your trailers at the end of your commit message, and have at least one line of white space before them.
See the official documentation.
In your case, that means any commit with multiple "Co-authored by" would be displayed that way:
How can I turn it off?
Make sure you don't have any Co-authored-by field in your commit message trailer.
If you don't, report that to GitHub support, as it is most likely a bug resulting from their recent feature described above.

GitHub shows that my commits have been pushed by 2 authors: me and me.

That is, how can I avoid seeing "me" and "me" (twice my GitHub account) as "authors" of a commit?

I found you can customize your site CSS to hide the header by creating the file:
/assets/css/style.scss

@import "{{ site.theme }}";
header {

This is a closed issue on Github.
That said, you may want to override the HTML layout, so your site doesn't unexpectedly break.

Your options object does not have the headers option, describing the user-agent. Try this:

host: 'api.github.com',
path: '/users/' + username + '/repos',
method: 'GET',
headers: {'user-agent': 'node.js'}
};

There is a github help page on this which details how to make changes to a pull request by checking out pull requests locally.
What I might try is first creating a remote for the pull request submitter (I'm using the examples from the above page):
git remote add kneath git://github.com/kneath/jobs.git
Fetch the changes:
git fetch kneath
Check out the branch in question (ex. master):
git checkout kneath/master
Vet them however you like, since the code that will be there will be the pull request code. Run tests, etc.
Merge them in if you're good to go:
git checkout master
git merge kneath/master
Further, here is a very good page on git project management workflows which details the various workflows one can take on collaboration integration.

I recently started managing a project on GitHub where people have been submitting pull requests. Rather than merge them to master, I would like the ability to:
First vet them to make sure they actually work
Possibly making some stylistic changes before merging to master
How can I do this?
Do you have to make a separate branch, such as "dev", and instruct people to code against that before you merge to master?

The easiest thing to do is to go to the commits page for your repo (https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO/commits/master) and there will be a green check mark when it's done building. For example:
You can also query the Github API. For example using curl:
$ curl -u USERNAME https://api.github.com/repos/USERNAME/REPO/pages/builds/latest
{
"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/USERNAME/REPO/pages/builds/12345678",
"status": "built",
...
"created_at": "2018-07-26T17:23:42Z"
https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/pages/#get-latest-pages-build

I have a working Github Page. (Specifically: a Project Page with Jekyll that lives at [username].github.io/[project_name]/.)
I can deploy. (By pushing changes to my gh-pages branch and waiting a few minutes for it to build.)
How can I check the deploy/build status?
It's annoying to wait an unknown number of minutes after I push my changes to Github. I searched for 20 minutes and was surprised to find nothing. Am I misunderstanding something or using the wrong terms? o.O

It doesn't really matter.
If you think you won't make any changes, you can safely clone the original repository directly, which has the benefit that you can directly update your local clone via git pull. Once you realize you want to make changes you can fork it on github and add the fork as an additional remote.
On the other side if you think you will make changes to the remote you can fork it. Once you realize that you were wrong and you don't need to make changes, add the original repository as remote and remove the fork.
I for myself prefer to always add both the fork and the original one as remote, thus I can update my local clone via (e.g.) git pull original master and after that I can update my fork with git push origin (origin is my private fork here. The names doesn't really matter either). If I don't need the fork or don't need it anymore, I get rid of it. If I need it (again), I (re-?)create it.
As a sidenote: You don't need a fork on github to make changes, because your local clone is a full repository too and if it's sufficient to keep your changes there, it's ok.
|
I'm using several GitHub repositories. The procedure I've been using so far, is to fork the original repository, and then clone my branch. If I make some changes, I just push them into my remote branch.
My concern is: In the projects I probably won't make any modifications/commits, should I fork the original project and clone my branch, like I have done before, or clone the original one? And what if those projects involve a bunch of files which have to be customized (thus, my local project is different from the original one)?
|
Should I fork and clone my repository, or just clone the original?

Create a new *.xml file in your res/values (call it api-keys.xml or something similar).
Change your manifest to point to this string:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="@string/GoogleMapsKey"/>
When you first push your changes to the public, put in a dummy key.
Then edit the file with your real API key.
Then add the file to your .gitignore file so it doesn't get pushed again.
|
I'm currently working on an Android project, and learning how to use git.
I'm blocked because of a problem with git : I have my Google Maps api key declared in my android-manifest file :
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="HEREISMYKEY"/>
Now, I'd like to push my code in github, but I can't push my AndroidManifest, because it contains my api key (which is supposed to remain secret).
I'd like to know if there is a way to modify it before every push, or maybe modify it each time I compile my application?
Thank you for your help !

Don't think the UI currently supports that. It looks like you need to tick, all checkboxes manually. Or come up with a JavaScript to find and click them for you.
Try that in your browser console.
document.getElementsByName("viewed").forEach(ch => {if(ch.checked) {ch.click()}})

Sure, just check it out from a commit where it existed. If the commit that deleted the file is the tip of whatever you have currently checked out, that’s HEAD^ (the commit before last):
git checkout HEAD^ -- path/to/file
Then you can commit and push it.

cd old-repository.git

I've duplicated a repo into a newer repo but when doing a git clone on the new repo it's unable to download the files using the LFS pointers and I get an error when smudge is used...
e.g... "Error downloading object. Object not found on server"
Steps:
git clone --bare https://github.com/myuser/old-repo.git
cd old-repository.git
git push --mirror https://github.com/myuser/new-repo.git
git clone https://github.com/myuser/new-repo.git
[error.....git-lfs.exe smudge --- somefile.....Error downloading object]
The branches and commit histories look fine but LFS fails to download the required files. Is there another method when using git-lfs?

GitHub uses Redcarpet which is really a Ruby binding built by github for Sundown.
There's a binding for Sundown in Python called Misaka. If you want to have something closer to the renderer github uses but in python you might start there.
For code highlighting you can use Pygments with Misaka.

Does anyone knows of a working Python GFM implementation?

It works, but an actual Python renderer would be the right tool for the job. (FS is a Django app)

According to the GitHub documentation, the scope for public repositories is public_repo, and for private repositories is repo.
A token with one of those scopes is the most limited access possible for Git push or pull access; however, that token can access all public (respectively, private) repositories and can also be used for certain API access as well. If that's of concern to you, you can use an SSH key for your personal account, or to restrict it even further, a read-write deploy key for the repo in question.

I need some help here, It's been a week I'm with this problem, can't figure out what's going on. I'm not able to clone a git repo from a slave node (Jenkins). I added the ssh key, host and slave (I've already tried generating a single key and one for each virtual and host)).
On Jenkins:
url:[email protected]: < repo>
Credentials: Here I tried with username/password, username with ssh file, username with ssh key directly, and -none-.
It doesn't seems like there is an authentication problem since I can clone the repo manually from console (both, slave and host). I can also connect with
ssh -T [email protected]
so the ssh key is fine, but when I build, this appear on console:
Building remotely on IE10Win7 in workspace C:\Users\IEUser\Desktop\<
folder >
Wiping out workspace first.
Cloning the remote Git repository
Cloning repository [email protected]:< repo>.git
git init C:\Users\IEUser\Desktop\< folder> # timeout=10

Does anyone have an idea? Hope someone can give me a clue, Thanks!

You can add a PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md file to the root of your repo and it will be used as the template for new pull requests. You can use Github-flavored markup in that file.
So, in your template file, just add whatever markup you want. For a checklist:
Doneness:
- [ ] Testing
- [ ] Documentation
There's also an ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md file that does the same thing, but for new issues.
Official post: https://github.com/blog/2111-issue-and-pull-request-templates

When a Github pull request is created, it would be very nice to have a (code review) checklist added automatically to the PR. This could then be filled out by the PR submitter, and the reviewers would be able to see that the submitter has done what he is supposed to do before sending for review.
Is that possible somehow?
The best solution would be that the checklist showed up automatically when the PR was created. The second best could be an automatic comment added right after the PR was made.

GitHub Actions is a feature provided by GitHub to create workflows which can run on triggering any GitHub event, for eg run the build of the project on creation of a pull request. GitHub actions can be configured by creation of a workflow in the form of a yaml file and placing it under .github/workflows directory in your repo. This documentation provides more info regarding creating workflows.
For example, say I have a repository with some python/js code and I start working on a new system. When I do a git pull to clone my repository in a new system are there any actions in the backstage that are consumed? Do I consume any time from my plan?
No, running a git pull to clone your repo doesn't use up any allocated action minutes.
GitHub actions only run if you have configured them to run by creating the workflows for specific GitHub events as mentioned here. When any actions are configured for a repo, the same can be viewed under the Actions tab as shown below. Every GitHub action triggered shows up here.
Also, the current 2000 action minutes per month allocation is for the triggered workflows for private repos, not public repos. You can check your usage of the free action minutes for private repos at https://github.com/settings/billing, as mentioned in my SO answer here .
|
Can you please give a clear explanation, maybe with an example, as to what does github mean when saying that a plan includes 2000 actions minutes/month? If I execute a git pull does this count as one action? How actions connect to minutes? The time I take to pull some commits from a repo counts towards the minutes I have?
I am aware of SO answers (like this) that may tell someone how to calculate the time remaining but I don't really understand what an action is.
For example, say I have a repository with some python/js code and I start working on a new system. When I do a git pull to clone my repository in this new system are there any actions in the backstage that are consumed? Do I consume any time from my plan? This is what I haven't clarified and needed maybe some simple examples to demonstrate. Thanks!

Jenkins exposes a global variable named CHANGE_ID:
For a multibranch project corresponding to some kind of
change request, this will be set to the change ID, such as a pull
request number.
This variable is only populated for pull request builds, so you have to disable branch builds and enable PR builds in your pipeline's configuration for branch sources:
My pipeline step then looks like this:
def PULL_REQUEST = env.CHANGE_ID
stage('Analysis') {
withCredentials([[$class: 'StringBinding', credentialsId: '***', variable: 'GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN']]) {
withSonarQubeEnv('Sonar') {
withMaven(maven: 'M3') {
sh "mvn org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.2:sonar " +
"-Dsonar.analysis.mode=preview " +
"-Dsonar.github.pullRequest=${PULL_REQUEST} " +
"-Dsonar.github.oauth=${GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
}
}
}
}

Your account's personal SSH keys identify your GitHub user. If an organization has granted you access, it was done via your GitHub user; an SSH key attached to that user will give you access.
If you want to have separate SSH keys for your organization work (e.g. if you work on another machine), simply add the second key to your personal account.

One solution would be to fork the original public repo into your own public repo on GitHub.
Then duplicate your forked public repo into a private one.
You then clone both on your local workstation, and:
do public and private modifications on your private local repo
push private modifications first to your local public repo
then push them to your GitHub forked public repo
make your pull request from your forked public repo on GitHub.

I forked a public repo and made the new repo private.
I added a new remote branch on my private repo with some fixes committed.
Now, I want to create a pull request from the branch in my private repo towards the public repo I forked from.
I select the branch in my private repo and click "Pull request".
I click on "Change commits".
I can't change the organisation/repo owner. I only see my organisation, but not the one of the public repo. I could only create a pull request against master branch of my private repo, but that's not what I want.

Is it possible to build an image from a non-master branch on a Github repository?
For example, I have the repository //github.com/myAccount/docker-myImage with a branch development that I would like to use for my image. Unfortunately, the following command only seems to allow building from the master branch:
docker build -t myAccount/myImage git://github.com/myAccount/docker-myImage
Here is the relevant documentation from man docker build:
Building an image using a URL
This will clone the specified Github repository from the URL and use it as context. The Dockerfile at the root of the repository is
used as Dockerfile. This only works if the Github repository is a
dedicated repository.
docker build github.com/scollier/Fedora-Dockerfiles/tree/master/apache
Note: You can set an arbitrary Git repository via the git:// schema.
Perhaps there is an alternative, like docker build -t myAccount/myImage git://github.com/myAccount/docker-myImage:development?

If you have a small team and want everyone to have access to the repo, you can just grant them collaborator permission in the repo's admin settings. Forking isn't required if your scenario doesn't require it. (Although forking can be useful, you're also partly right: if you have a small team and know all the other team members and don't mind giving them read/write access, there's no need to fork.)
|
Can someone provide me with the cheat sheet for GitHub collaboration for a team of two who want equal access/rights to the repo. I am confused as to the need to use forking which appears to make sense for a large open source project with dispersed devs but seeems like overkill when I and my partner sit 10 feet from each other.
Thanks,
Doug

It seems that you committed to no branch, i.e. your commit isn't part of any branch. Create a branch where you're standing, then launch gitk to compare to master, then cherry-pick or rebase as necessary.

Don't run this if you have any github installations from anything more complicated than the master branch of user/repo. Also be careful if you have a lot of github installations, since this will blindly reinstall them all, even if up-to-date. This could take a long time, and also might break working packages if github master branches are not in tip top condition.
Take a look at devtools R/session_info.r for details.

I know you can install packages from CRAN with this syntax:
install.packages(c("Rcpp"), dependencies=TRUE)
You can update all of them from CRAN with:
update.packages()
On the other side, you can install packages (compiling them) from GitHub with:
install_github("hadley/tidyr")
How can you upgrade all GitHub packages?
I mean without reinstalling (and compiling) them one at a time. Something like update.packages() for github.

If you changed both files in the same commit, then no, this isn't possible. Pushes and pulls operate at a commit level; they won't split them apart.
If you haven't shared the changes yet, you could split the commit into two, making a branch for each, and then initiate pull requests for those.
This is one of those things there are many ways to do, but for example, you could do something like this:
# make sure the commit in question is the most recent
# make branch to point to the previous commit, leaving the changes in your work tree
git reset HEAD^
# commit the changes to the first file
git add file1
git commit
# make a branch for the first commit
git branch first-branch HEAD^
# commit the changes to the second file
git add file2
git commit
# create and check out a branch for this commit
git checkout -b second-branch
# rebase the branch back, so that it doesn't include the first commit
git rebase --onto HEAD^^ HEAD^ second-branch
# point your master branch somewhere that makes sense - maybe before either branch
git checkout master
git reset --hard first-branch^
This would leave you with history like this:
- x (master) - A (first-branch)
\
- B (second-branch)
where commit A modified file1, and commit B modified file2.
Once the history looks the way you like it, you can push the two branches separately and do what you need to do with them:
git push origin first-branch second-branch

Try using the --rejoin flag, so that after the split the subtree is correctly merged back to your main repository. This way each split needs not to go through all history.
git subtree split --rejoin --prefix=<prefix> <commit...>
From the original subtree documentation:
After splitting, merge the newly created synthetic
history back into your main project. That way, future
splits can search only the part of history that has
been added since the most recent --rejoin.

I'm using Git subtree to "link" several subprojects into the main project (I'm coming from "svn:externals"). I've used it for some weeks, but the time to push changes to the subtree remote increases every commit.

function remove(selector) { $(selector).remove()}
function remove_class(selector) { $(selector).setAttribute('class','')}
function move_left(count)
{
var eventObj = document.createEvent("Events");
eventObj.initEvent("keydown", true, true);
eventObj.which = 37; // left key
for (i=0; i < count ; i++) {
document.dispatchEvent(eventObj);
}
}
function resize_canvas(width)
{
document.getElementById("network").style="width:" + width; window.dispatchEvent(new Event("resize"))
}

EDIT: This is supposed to be a gift for my mother, If I have to I'll drag and drop it and stitch a bunch of screen-prints together... however the resource has to live on the website somewhere. I do believe that at least someone on this site knows how to do this.
EDIT: So I dug around on this somemore and found that if you put /meta after network you get a JSON. Also /chunk was in the page source, but after loading /chunk neither /chunk or /meta are loading for me anymore. I just want the entire graph in one picture, is that too much to ask?
Adding /network to the end of a repo URL in github gets me an image something like this
You can click and drag it side to side, but for the life of me I have not been able to get more than a small segment to show at one time.
Is the any tool to generate the entire network graph in one image file?
I don't want a chunk of the graph, I want to view the entire graph.
I saw http://gitup.co/ mentioned in another question, but it appears to be OS X only. A linux or a microsoft solution would work for me.
Thanks

As I mentioned in "Sign git commits with GPG", with Git 2.0:
If you want to GPG sign all your commits, you have to add the -S option all the time.
The commit.gpgsign config option allows to sign all commits automatically.
This doesn't fully work though, and is followed by issue 127802, with the following workarounds:
Created a helper script with that content:
/usr/bin/gpg –batch –no-tty "$@"
and set gpg.program to that script
Or:
Adding "no-tty" to "~/.gnupg/gpg.conf" solved the problem for me.
You might still get the error message:
Commit failed with error:
gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use
gpg: Sorry, no terminal at all requested - can't get input
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object
Again: bug in progress, also followed by issue 110261:
resolve it with this in addition to the previous solution (OS X):
1) brew install gnupg gnupg2 pinentry-mac
2) nano ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf ->
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac
3) git config -–global gpg.program gpg2

I am trying to find a tool that would help disable squash and merge for certain branches, but not all of them.
Github settings is allowing me to disable squash and merge, but it applies for all the branches, and the protected branches area does not have an option to limit merge options.
Thank you!

There is the subtree merge.
But here is an easier but partial solution that perhaps is good enough for your needs. Just fork and periodically merge back.
Fork (clone) the repository
Remove parts you do not need and move the sub-folder to where you do need
Commit
In the future, when you want to sync back up with the upstream Git code, just merge it with your fork. The files which you kept will sync back up with those from upstream, and you might have some small cleanups to do which are easy to see from git status.

That looks just like a regular user account, except maintained by Github staff. If you think they would be interested in hosting your project on that page, you can email them, as the page states: [email protected]
However, unless you're Linus Torvalds or Larry Wall, they're probably not going to jump at the chance. You have to set up your own account, and then just create a public repository---which is free--and voilà, there's your mirror.
Locally, if you already have a different remote repository for that project, you just set your Github account as a second remote to which you can either push whenever you push to your primary remote, or on special occasions.
If you want to create a repo that displays the "mirrored from" line that you see on their mirrors page, according to this answer, you have to contact Github support: Creating an official github mirror

Suppose a CI workflow is running, how can I view the full logs?

I can see the logs if I click on the task immediately after starting a new workflow, for example:
But once a workflow has been running I cannot see the full logs
I've tried clicking on the cog on top right of screen -> View raw logs, but it shows:

I'd like to both
a) avoid introducing merge commits
You won't have any merge commit created, since the doc mentions:
all commits from the topic branch (or head branch) are added onto the base branch individually without a merge commit.
Pull requests with rebased commits are merged using the fast-forward option.
And:
b) preserve the commit SHAs and tags from the feature branch.
Any rebase (locally or remotely on GitHub) would change the SHA1 anyway (since a rebase, by definition, changes the base parent commit).
As Mondkin helpfully comments, a rebase made on top of an ancestor commit leaves the commits alone.
If GitHub still does change the SHA1, that means some other metadata (date, or comment) is changed for GitHub to reflect/record that operation, and make sure it is visible (as opposed to a local repo, where a rebase on top of a local ancestor is a no-op: nothing happens).
|
I like using the "rebase and merge" option for merging PRs in Github to avoid cluttering the commit history with merge commits.
But I've noticed the following behavior:
(from Github's docs)
The rebase and merge behavior on GitHub deviates slightly from git rebase. Rebase and merge on GitHub will always update the committer information and create new commit SHAs, whereas git rebase outside of GitHub does not change the committer information when the rebase happens on top of an ancestor commit.
This seems strange to me since it's not how rebase works from the git CLI. Does anyone know why it behaves this way?
Ideally, I'd like to both a) avoid introducing merge commits and b) preserve the commit SHAs and tags from the feature branch. Is there a way to do this from the UI?

My company uses github. When I want to do a pull request I need to make my PR from my fork to the main repo into the staging branch. By default my PRs point to the master branch, so for every pull request I have to change which branch I'm merging into. I know that you can set the default branch in github. I want the default branch to remain master, but I want my pull requests to point to staging by default. Is that possible?
In the image below I don't want to have to change base: master to base: staging every time. The bigger pain is when I forget to change it to staging.

I recently pushed an Angular CLI 5 application to GitHub and it indicated the following:
We found a potential security vulnerability in one of your dependencies.
A dependency defined in net-incident/package-lock.json has known security vulnerabilities and should be updated.
Dependencies defined in net-incident/package-lock.json 816
hapijs / hoek Known security vulnerability in 2.16.3
I have gone through the output from ‘npm audit’ and executed the various updates, including the following (which was not suggested):
npm install --save-dev [email protected]
The ‘request’ package contains ‘hawk’ which contains ‘hoek’. When I look at the ‘request’ package in node_modules the version has changed. But the following two updates from ‘npm audit’ do not seem to do anything:
npm update fsevents --depth 4 npm update stringstream --depth 5
And I am left with the following:
[!] 33 vulnerabilities found [12201 packages audited]
Severity: 5 Low | 24 Moderate | 4 High
Run `npm audit` for more detail
And many of the vulnerabilities are like the following:
Moderate Prototype pollution
Package hoek

Dependency of karma
Path karma > log4js > loggly > request > hawk > boom > hoek
More info https://nodesecurity.io/advisories/566
In the end, the application would not compile, so I replaced the the package and lock files, and now I am back to the beginning. I really want to fix the security issues. How do I get rid of the pesky ‘hoek’ vulnerabilities?

Just to make sure I understand the state of things: you created the release branch but did not check it out, so your commits are on the development branch in your local repository. You said you merged the changes into the release-v0.2.0b branch.
If that is the case, and there are no other commits on the development branch you need to preserve, just delete the local copy of the development branch and check it out again from origin.
First, verify what branches you have and which one you are on:
git branch -av
Then switch away from the development branch so you can delete it:
git checkout origin/development
git branch -D development
That actually leaves you on no branch, but you'll get back on a branch when you check it out again from the origin:
git checkout origin/development -b development
I suggest checking out origin/development to avoid unnecessary churning of files in your snapshot.
|
I did a bit of development against the wrong branch in my local repository. I did a git branch without next doing a git checkout. The commands look something like this:
#On branch development
git branch release-v0.2.0b
# changes and several commits
git push origin release-v0.2.0b
And that's when I realized I was working on the wrong branch. My github repo is in the proper state, but my local repo isn't. I've merged the changes from development into release-v0.2.0b, but I'd like to reset development back to the way it is in my github repo. What's the best way to go about this?

How do revert a local branch back to how it is in github?

You can make a .bat file in which you add all the repositories yourself with this
cd C:\path\to\git\repo
call git pull
cd C:\path\to\git\repo2
call git pull
Or let it run through a whole directory with git repositories
FOR /D %G in (C:\Documents\GitRepos\*) Do cd %G & call git pull & cd ..
Instead of .bat file there is a GUI client Github for windows
If you have all your repositories in there it won't be a pain to remember to sync them all.
|
So I have a lot of repos, and sometimes I forget if some are behind on their pulls, so I was wondering if there was a way to git pull for each repo in one .bat script. I saw someone do it for Linux I believe here, but I'm on a Windows machine. Does anyone know how to do this for Windows?

I also had this issue. Because I was trying to pull an organizations repo which was also private I needed to be granted access by the organization to use GitKraken (since it is seen as a third-party). If you go to your Github settings and under Applications -> Authorized OAuth App -> GitKraken thats where you can apply for permissions to the specific organizations you are assigned to on Github.
Hope this helps!

I am trying to configure GitKraken with a particular repo I have on Github. As far as I can tell, once I give it my local project folder with the repo, it can see the remote. However, trying to push or pull gives me an error Push/Fetch failed. could not connect to origin.
It seems like it is an issue with authentication and SSH. I've tried to generate public/private keys in GitKrakens preferences auth page and add them to Github under the Github pane, but I get the same errors.
At this point I simply can't get things to work. I'm unfamiliar with the specifics of SSH. What is the issue here and how can I configure GitKraken to push/fetch with my upstream?

I have a remote origin/master and a remote branch remote_branch.
I also have local master and a local branch local_branch. When I try to pull the local master into the local_branch with git pull master local_branch I get this.
fatal: 'master' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
However, when I do git branch I see this:

Why can't I pull from my local remote_branch0?

It's a typo. You typed -c but wanted (and used in your question) -C
To use -c, the keys have to be already present. Excerpt of man ssh-keygen:
Requests changing the comment in the private and public key files. This operation is only supported for RSA1 keys. The program will prompt for the file containing the private keys, for the passphrase if the key has one, and for the new comment.
|
When I enter ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" in git it gives a "Too many arguments" error. How do you solve this issue?

It should be ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}. The structure of a release can be found here: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#get-a-single-release
I'd also suggest to use
on:
release:
types: [published]
instead of created to avoid putting something to npm for draft releases.
See: https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#release-event-release
Hint:
To debug the event you can use:
jobs:
debug:
name: Debug
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Dump env
run: env | sort
- name: Dump GitHub context
env:
GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}
run: echo "$GITHUB_CONTEXT"

I have created a Github repo that has got an action to build the npm package and publish it to npmjs.com. The trigger for my action is the creation of a new release in Github. When creating the new release, Github is asking me for a version number. I would love to use this version number in the Action and provide it to the yarn publish command.
My ci-file looks like this (i stripped some parts that are not important here):
name: Deploy npm package
on:
release:
types: [created]
jobs:
publish-npm:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- uses: actions/setup-node@v1
with:
node-version: 12
registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org/
- run: yarn install
- run: yarn build
- run: yarn publish --new-version ${...}
env:a
NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{secrets.npm_token}}
Is there an environmental variable that contains the version number from the release?

If you did a clone, then all branches should be available to you. You need to checkout the branch.
git checkout todo-mvvm-databinding
If the branch isn't available for whatever reason, then you can create it and then pull it:
git checkout -b todo-mvvm-databinding (-b specifies "create branch")
git pull origin todo-mvvm-databinding will fetch and merge this branch into your local one.
|
There is this repo :
https://github.com/googlesamples/android-architecture
And there is this branch :
https://github.com/googlesamples/android-architecture/tree/todo-mvvm-databinding/
I have clone the project but i have only the master. What can i do to get this branch ?

How to pull a specific branch from Github

Since I had just created the repository and there were no users, the solution was to delete the repository from Github (under 'Settings' menu) and create it again (once deleted I could use the same name). The trick is to not initialize the repository from GitHub - allow VS.NET to do this on 1st sync. Now it works wonderfully from VS.NET.
If I would not have deleted the repository, I would of had to use some external tools to either rename the local repository, or use sync from another tool (like TortoiseGit) that allows forcing to overwrite the branch on sync. It did not appear there was anything native to VS.NET that would allow this to occur.
|
I'm using VS.NET 2013 with the integrated Git tools, and attempting to publish my master branch to an existing repository I set up on GitHub. I'm using the VS.NET tools in the IDE exclusively and would like please any responses to follow using these tools if possible as opposed to a command line.
All of my changes have been committed locally and I just need to publish the branch to GitHub. However, when I try and publish my local master branch I receive the following error:
You cannot publish local branch master to the remote repository origin
because a branch with the same name already exists there. You might
want to rename your local branch and try again.
I know there is a lengthy article to this here, but I'm trying to remedy this from VS.NET or online at GutHub directly if possible. At best I want to better understand the issue.
I'm almost positive this issue was caused by me selecting the option Initialize this repository with a README selection on GitHub instead of creating a blank repositoy that my local changes could be pushed to. I think GutHub has used the same branch name already and it is causing a conflict.
I suppose I could delete the repository on GitHub and start from scratch, but was hoping to get this ironed out either from VS.NET or GitHub. Does anyone know how I can make it so my master branch can be successfully published?

You can't download a subdirectory from GitHub as a zip file.
Some options are to
download the full zip and manually extract the subdirectory that you want, or
use git with sparse checkouts instead of downloading as a zip file.
This approach does download the entire repository into the .git directory, but your working copy will only contain the files and directories that you want.
For more information on sparse checkouts have a look at this answer.

I want to download this source file in the zip here:

But there is no Zip Download button. There is a Zip Download button in the root directory of the repository:
https://github.com/xdtianyu/android-4.2_r1
But I don't want to download the whole repository. How can I download that single project (specific subdirectory)?

I also had the same problem:
fatal: git apply: bad git-diff - expected /dev/null on line 47
Yet line 47 reads --- /dev/null. The problem I found was that the line endings were in Windows format instead of UNIX format. Converting the line endings to UNIX format in Notepad++ fixed the problem for me.

So I was trying to use apply a diff file to my git dev branch. The diff I wanted to apply was this one here: https://github.com/mbabker/joomla-cms/compare/JHtml_move.patch
I used git apply PATH_TO_PATCH.patch
Now on trying to apply it I get a load of errors cumulating with a
fatal: git apply: bad git-diff - expected /dev/null on line 47
Thing is line 47 reads --- /dev/null
I saw on another forum somebody say there was a trailing white space after the /dev/null part but there isn't.
In case its any help I'm also being thrown errors of trailing white spaces on lines 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 - despite their NOT being any trailing white spaces.
In any case the diff is being generated by git - I'm just copying and pasting it into notepad.
I've also tried using curl https://github.com/mbabker/joomla-cms/compare/JHtml_move.patch | git am but that just gives an error without specifying location.
Any ideas as to why its giving an fatal error when the line actually exists????
Update to @IvanZuzak
I tried adding in the git am --ignore-space-change --ignore-whitespace PATH_TO_PATCH.patch however I got first of all (as this was the downloaded patch) an error saying the email was invalid (it had been converted to html code) so I tried to fix that but it kept throwing it up every now and again. Then it said previous rebase directory PATH_TO_GITHUB_BRANCH/.git/rebase-apply still exists but mbox given.. So I found this which suggested removing the rebase-apply folder in the branches .git folder. So I did that and then I got the invalid email error again (despite I'd changed both ones away from the html formatted)

When you're in an organization that uses SAML SSO, every personal access token that's used to access that organization's resources has to be specifically enabled for that organization.
You can go into the Personal Access Token settings and choose "Configure SSO". From there, you can enable the token for the specific organization that you're using. After that point, using it as normal should work.

I've tried for days trying to find the proper answer to this, and finally I figured out how to do this via the curl command. It's a 3-step process.
First, to get a list of the assets for the latest release:
curl -H "Authorization: token YOURGITHUBTOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/NAME/REPO/releases/latest
Then in the JSON, look up the url of the asset you want. For example it would look like:
"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/NAME/REPO/releases/assets/1275759"
Then you pass this to another curl command to retrieve the actual URL, which is actually a link to an Amazon S3 file.
curl -H "Authorization: token YOURGITHUBTOKEN" \
-H "Accept:application/octet-stream" \
-i https://api.github.com/repos/NAME/REPO/releases/assets/1275759
The URL will be in the "location" field of the HTTP response, and then use curl to get the file like this:
curl "https://github-cloud.s3.amazonaws.com...." -i -o FILENAME

I can't exclude user interface state file from commit.
Every time I'm trying to push to github it asks me to commit first and insert user interface state file into the changes (even if I didn't move the mouse or interface at all it still is shown to commit!).
I tried different methods, described in other similar topics. For example, I tried to add all possible cases of user interface into the .gitignore in root, like this:
*.xcuserstate
project.xcworkspace
xcuserdata
UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate
project.xcworkspace/
xcuserdata/
UserInterface.xcuserstate
It didn't work.
I tried to clean the cache and reset git, didn't help.
Git status command says the following: "modified: .xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate"
And it looks like this

Just do git push -f ( force push )
Pushing to heroku might be one of the valid use cases for git push -f, but still be careful and understand what you are doing.
|
We are pushing builds to heroku and would like to push without pulling in latest changes. I am essentially using the github repo as my source control repository and pushing to the git heroku repo from several different machines. Since we have a few build servers pushing to the same heroku repository sometimes a push of latest bits from a build server will throw a message saying I need to pull latest before committing and pushing.
However since the code from the build server is guaranteed to be the latest, I'd like to throw away the changes from the pull and just commit and push the files without a merge.
Is there a way to do this? Any other suggestions on how best to set this up?

No, the GitHub file browser is not configurable that way.
Getting back that extra information would mean transferring an enormous extra amount of data (for each pages of each repos) for GitHub, so I am not sure this is a feature you would see anytime soon.
Note that 'size' is an acceptable criteria for GitHub search though (meaning that size information is there and can be used, not just for browsing files).
element language:xml size:100
Matches code with the word "element" that's marked as being XML and has exactly 100 bytes.

The GitHub file browser lists a file's name and info about the last commit:

As mentioned in "How to reach some commands on Github for windows", you best course of action would be to use to git CLI (command line interface), opening a shell from "GitHub for Windows", or using msysgit.
Then a git reset HEAD^2 (or even git reset --hard HEAD^2 if you really want to remove those files as well as any work in progress) would drop those commits (as in "How do I delete unpushed git commits?" or "How to delete a 'git commit'").
After a refresh, GitHub for Windows should display no more unsynced commit.
Other answers below mention the recent addition of "Undo most recent commit", which achieve the same reset:
As I mentioned in "GitHub undo a discard", the "discard changes" feature would achieve the same as a git reset.

Cloning the repository will give you the entire commit history of all the source code.
You need only scroll back through git log and find the desired commit on your target date. Running git checkout SHA where SHA is the commit hash will give you the state of the source code on that date.
edit:
git log --since=2010-06-05 --until=2010-06-06 will help narrow it down!

Go to your Github account and remove the App Authorisation:
https://github.com/settings/applications
Then on Amplify, reconnect to Github, it will ask you an Authorisation and here you can choose your organisation at the bottom of the prompt box.

Now there is no need to delete the connection. After accessing the URL mentioned above, click on the connection name, it will display Permissions and Organization access. Under organization access you will see the list of organizations that you have access to; click on [Grant] or [Reques] button to grant Amplify access to the Organization repositorires.

I am trying to create an AWS Amplify application that is connected to a Github organization repository.
When I am asked to select a Github repository to connect the app in AWS Amplify I do not see any of my organization's repositories.
How do I connect AWS Amplify to my organization's repositories so that they are listed in the repository drop down?
I have confirmed that I have admin access to both the Github organization and repository in question.
It seems to me that I need to add an AWS service to the organization's Third Party Access settings in Github but I am not sure which one and how.

Add a .patch to the end of the pull url - you can download and apply the patch on your repo:

I'm using the NSDate-Extensions plugin in my iOS Xcode project. The master repo has some errors which seems to be fixed in two Pull Requests:

These requests are still open and not accepted to the master repo. How can I add these to my local repo in a Git-way? It would be fine, if my local repo gets update, if their Fork gets updated later:

Enter passcode and then copy it pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub If you don't have pbcopy, xclip or vim just type: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
add it into your GitHub
Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account
remove GitHub credentials (if u were using HTTPS there is a high possibility GitHub credentials are saved in your system), we don't need those credentials since we are using SSH (Optional step)
Change the remote URL to SSH

I'd like to use GitHub more from the command line and less through the web.
Of course, everything related to Git repos can be done through the Git client. But I'd like to also do GitHub-specific things like creating forks or managing pull requests.
Given that GitHub seems to have a pretty comprehensive API with libraries in many languages, I was wondering if there are any good command-line clients out there to interact with GitHub?

You can pass-in Secrets as ENV variables.
Example:
...
steps:
- name: Git checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Use Node 12.x
uses: actions/setup-node@v1
with:
node-version: 12.x
- name: Install Dependencies (prod)
run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile --production
- name: Run Tests (JEST)
run: yarn test --ci --silent --testPathIgnorePatterns=experimental
env:

API_KEY: ${{ secrets.API_KEY }}
In Node.js you can access it via process.env.API_KEY.

2013: If you cannot change it through Visual Studio, you can at least look for it in the local config of your repo through the command line:

I know this is probably a really dumb question, but I can't figure it out.
When you go to your branches, right click on one, and click publish, the first time it asks you for a URL and I put in the wrong one (one that doesn't even exist haha). So now whenever I try to publish a branch, it says it can't find it and I don't know how to change the URL because the option doesn't come up anymore.

By fixing the conflict and committing the merge conflict you've already completed the merge. Git adds merge commits when necessary, it's normal but they don't record anything except that the merge took place and what files were merged if there was a conflict. If you look more closely at your log you'll see there are in fact commits from master.
EDIT:
Okay, try this a test. You don't have to use the merge command, you can just pull master into PersonalSite.
git checkout PersonalSite
git pull origin master
See what gives you. If it says up to date then you have merged correctly.
If you merge stuff locally like you did, then you need to ensure the local tracking branches are up to date. Always specify the branch name to pull from,
git pull origin master
git pull origin PersonalSite
|
I have a master and "PersonalSite" branch for a codebase I'm working on. I have been repeatedly trying to merge the master into the PersonalSite branch to no avail.
This time, I thought I had everything straightened out, so I did:
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout PersonalSite
git pull
git merge master
It looked like everything was working, and it listed the set of files I would have expected, but there was a conflict. The conflict was correct and was as expected, so I fixed it, did "git add", "git commit", then "git push". But now, when I look at my git log, it just shows a commit with no code changes but a single conflict.
Now, when I run "git merge master" from the "PersonalSite" branch it says "Already up-to-date." but this clearly is not the case, as none of the changes I tried to merge actually merged. What exactly do I do to get master to actually merge at this point?

The issue you are experiencing is because your top-level list numbers in your example begin with a space in front. Eliminate that space and use three spaces for the sub-level indentation.
It isn't necessary to eliminate the space as it seems the key in GitHub's markdown is that there are three spaces differentiating the levels. So if you started with one space in front, the next level would have to have four spaces from the start of the line.

From the docs here:
(https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/),
you can create a nested list by indenting one or more list items below another item.
But I'm trying to create an ordered list with nested unordered lists.
I tried this code:
1. Ordered One
* Unordered First
* Unordered Second
* Unordered Third
1. Ordered Second
* Unordered One
* Unordered Two
* Unordered Three
and what I get is this:
How can I write this so Ordered Second automatically gets number 2. and the unordered nested lists are properly indented?
Thank you.

The issue you're hitting is that calling echo "FOO=${{ github.event.inputs.foo }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV in a GitHub Action script steps does not set that variable within the current step's script, if you expand the env header for the next step you should see your dynamically-set environment variable feeding into that step
What I usually do is something like this:
FOO="${{ github.event.inputs.foo }}"
echo "FOO=${FOO}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
So you set a variable called FOO in the current step's script (making it available on subsequent lines in the same step) AND exports it for future steps
|
I do need it to be an environment variable and this is for a composite action specifically.
In a composite action, I've tried many different ways of setting environment variables. The only way I've found to do it is to use env inside a step itself:
runs:
using: "composite"
steps:
- name: "A step"
env:
BRANCH_REF: "${{ github.ref }}"
run: echo "The branch is $BRANCH_REF"
shell: bash
Unfortunately, I need to set this variable dynamically. In a regular action, I would have done something like:
env:
FOO: "${{ secrets.FOO }}"
#...
- run: echo "FOO=${{ github.event.inputs.foo }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
if: ${{ github.event.inputs.foo != '' }}
Since I can't do that, I've tried a bunch of other ways that all haven't worked. This was my latest attempt, which also doesn't work:
- name: "A step"
run: |
if ${{ github.event.inputs.foo != '' }}
then
echo "Set from manual input: ${{ github.event.inputs.foo }}"
echo "FOO=${{ github.event.inputs.foo }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
else
echo "Use FOO workflow secret input: ${{ inputs.FOO }}"
echo "FOO=${{ inputs.FOO }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
fi
echo "foo is $FOO"
shell: bash
The output I get in the GitHub console is:
Run if true
if true
then
echo "Set from manual input: My foo is a good foo"
echo "FOO=My foo is a good foo" >> $GITHUB_ENV
else
echo "Use FOO secret: ***"
echo "FOO=***" >> $GITHUB_ENV
fi
echo "foo is $FOO"
shell: /usr/bin/bash --noprofile --norc -e -o pipefail {0}
Set from manual input: My foo is a good foo
foo is
On that final output line, I get foo is , so it seems the environment variable $FOO is not getting set.
How can I dynamically set the environment variable in my composite action?

Add in your repo:
a template of it (secret_token.rb.template),
a script able to generate a proper config file secret_token.rb based on local data found on the server (like an encrypted file with the secret value ready to be decoded and put in the secret_token.rb file)
From there, add a git attribute custom driver:
The script referenced above will be your 'smudge' script which will, on checkout of the working tree, generate automatically the right file.

I am trying to push a brand new, empty Rail 3.0.4 project to GitHub, but just realize that the cookie session store has a secret key:
In config/initializers/secret_token.rb
NewRuby192Rails304Proj::Application.config.secret_token = '22e8...'
So how can we avoid it being push to GitHub? We can ignore this file (using .gitignore), but without this file, a Rails app won't run at all (and is not a complete Rails app). Or in general, other files or frameworks may have files containing secret keys too. In such case, how should it be handled when pushing to GitHub?

Once cloned, you can checkout a specific commit (but you would be in a detached branch mode, which is ok if all you need to do is read, and not commit)
git checkout d25bc0e
If you had to do some modification, starting from that commit, you would create a new branch:
git checkout -b newBranch d25bc0e
Note: since Oct. 2014, you might be able to fetch only one commit (Git 2.5, June 2015), only if the remote server allows it.
But here, I would still recommend the classic workflow (clone+checkout).

I need the source code from a specific version of a project (The SonarQube project), but I can't figure out how to pull it from git.
I've added the repo as a remote (git add remote origin) and pulled the latest version from the master branch, but that is not the version I need.
I know the commit I need is d25bc0e, but when I try "git fetch origin master d25bc0e" I get the error "fatal: couldn't find remote ref d25bc0e".
It could be I'm doing something very wrong, I am not very experienced with Git.

You can still find your status check at search by name of the GitHub action job.
name: .NET
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
jobs:
build:
etc...
Here is name of the job is build.

I would like to set my GitHub Actions as required status checks so that I would be able to have protected branches and prevent commits from being pushed to specific branches if they don’t pass the github actions checks.
But when I go to the branch protection rules, the github actions don’t appear in the list of checks to choose from:
As you can see here I do have two github actions that have been running for several weeks on my repo:
So am I missing something? How do I set Github Actions as required status checks?

OK, the answer to this question, fundamentally, is: there is no definitive way to tell. Mercurial actually tags commits with the name of the branch they were checked in to, but git simply doesn't; apparently, it isn't considered important what the name of the branch was. This was a design decision and it doesn't look like it's going to change.
|
On github, when I view a commit, it shows me the commit message and the changes, along with any comments at the bottom. However, it doesn't tell me what branch the commit was checked in to. Even if I 'Browse Code', it is browsing the code for a particular 'tree' (presumably the state of the code when the commit was made), rather than for a particular branch.
I know that commits in git aren't intrinsically linked to a branch, but surely they are always going to be first committed into a particular branch? Isn't the commit tagged with that branch, and can I view which branch it was somehow?

I recently went through this with one of my own apps. My solution was to store anything secret in a git-ignored YAML config file, and then to access that file using a simple class in the initializers directory. The config file is stored in the 'shared' folder for the Capistrano deployment and copied to config at each deploy.
Config store: http://github.com/tsigo/jugglf/blob/master/config/initializers/juggernaut.rb
Example usage: https://github.com/tsigo/jugglf/blob/6b91baae72fbe4b1f7efa2759bb472541546f7cf/config/initializers/session_store.rb
You may also want to remove from source control all history of the file that used these secret values. Here's a guide for doing this in Git that I used: http://help.github.com/removing-sensitive-data/

I have a number of Rails apps hosted on GitHub. They are all currently private, and I often will deploy them from their GitHub repository. I'd like to be able to make some of them open source, just like the ones you can find on http://opensourcerails.com.
My question is: How can I make these repositories public without giving away super secret credentials?
For example, I can look in /config/initializers/cookie_verification_secret.rb and see the cookie secret for nearly every one of them. I don't understand how this is acceptable. Are these users all changing these values in their deploy environments somehow?
Some users even expose their AWS secret and key! Others will instead set their AWS secret to something like:
ENV['aws-secret']
although I'm not sure at what point they're setting that value.
So, what are the best practices for open sourcing your Rails app without compromising your app's security.

You should add the original project as a remote to your working copy. Then you can pull changes from the original repository and push them to your forked repository. The commands for this look something like:
git remote add upstream <original repo url>
git pull upstream master
git push origin

On github, after I fork a project, modify it, then submit my pull request, it seems that I have to delete and re-fork in order to stay current with any changes made after my pull request is honored.
It seems tedious to have to keep deleting the repo to keep it current. Is there some way to keep it current without deleting and re-forking?

Gitlab might be useful. It is a self-hosted Git management software. You could also try out Github Enterprise for 45 days and see how that fits your needs.

I am interested in an open source github clone. I know I can host my own git repository and push to it. I would like a web interface for it. Alot of features that github or bit bucket offers.
Why not just use github? For no other reason than to just play with new technology.
In short, Im looking to have my own github on a server I own.
Is there such a thing out there?
Unfortunately, googling github clone or open source github returns actual github pages as those are both key terms in relationship to github itself.

The reviewer who requested changes has to either "dismiss" the review or "approve" the change. You might think you addressed everything, but the reviewer might disagree ;-)
It'd be nice if there was a way to differentiate between "<reviewer> requested changes" and "<reviewer> requested changes, and <submitter> updated the PR", but there currently isn't any.

I'm a Pull Request owner (I have created this Pull Request / branch).
I asked my boss to review my code after I completed working on it and it passed the build tests.
The boss reviewed my code and requested several changes / asked several questions about my code changes.
I have changed the code and answered all the comments however "Changes requested" label still presented for this branch.
What did I miss?
(Sorry for such a simple question, I'm new with GitHub and I could not find answer for this problem in GitHub Helps.

GitHub: Changes requested label stay after I answered all the code review questions
