I am now using Git in this way: - to start changing something I first create a branch - If i want to selectively commit changes I will often do a git stash -u - This is followed by git checkout -p - in this way it is easy to dump unwanted changes using git stash drop
When changing branches I also stash my work until I am ready to pop it again. I will rebase my branch before pushing and before merging. I can however push my branch to a remote branch of the same name and I will usually use push origin +<branchname> to get the changes up. This is before the merge with master. After I am done with my branch or temporary branch there should be no merge conflict and i can simply merge and it will be a fast-forward. At least that is the gist of it thus far, but I feel I am missing something. I feel it is easier than what I think. I haven't looked into all that many tutorials yet but I've had a look (e.g. at the atlassian) but I still think something is missing from the big picture. MERGING IS still DIFFICULT. I hate ending up with a merge conflict that I have to edit by hand that reminds me of having made an error somewhere. What am I doing wrong? What can I do better? My first cause is always: - made modifications in a different directory (in Git this is a different branch). That is my only requirement. But I hate merging back. I don't know what I am doing wrong or what I am missing. Regards, D. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
