GIT Tips
Before using these tips, it is highly recommended to read the Super Quick Git Guide.
Clone git repo - only needed once
git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git pacman
Enable useful hooks
mv .git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample .git/hooks/applypatch-msg mv .git/hooks/commit-msg.sample .git/hooks/commit-msg mv .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample .git/hooks/pre-commit mv .git/hooks/pre-rebase.sample .git/hooks/pre-rebase
Always do your work on a new local branch to save yourself headaches.
Make patch to master branch
git format-patch master
Amend patch (Don't use it after a push)
git commit -a --amend -s
Update master branch
git checkout master git pull
Merge changes on master with "<branch>"
git rebase master <branch>
Get maint branch
git checkout -b maint origin/maint
Add a remote repository
git remote add toofishes git://code.toofishes.net/dan/pacman.git
Get toofishes working branch
git branch -r git checkout -b toofishes-working toofishes/working
