This page is very helpful for working with the Eclipse Git repositories. Perhaps there were additional changes in your workspace when you committed, possibly from doing a reset or switching branches. You should double check what is in the commit you are trying to patch (History View > Right click > Show in commit viewer). Curtis From: Joseph D Carroll Jr <[email protected]> To: E4 Project developer mailing list <[email protected]>, Date: 2012/07/25 08:52 AM Subject: [e4-dev] Git best practices Sent by: [email protected] After working on my first patch [1], I ran into several difficulties creating a useful patch. If I just committed and selected the commit from the history view, it would create a patch with my changes but it would also include many other changes. I am assuming they are the changes from the previous commit as well, and I have triple checked to make sure I selected the right commit. Also, after committing something I might realize a defect and have to commit the changes, but I will have to revert the previous commit because I am not able to select multiple commits to create a patch. So I am assuming there are a number of things I am doing wrong. Does anyone have any "best practices" or advice for a guy just starting with git & e4 development? Thanks, JD ps- I have the EGit user guide and I reference that as much as possible.
