Hi Andrew, Many thanks for your dedication on writing that wiki page (and adding in a little note about me in it :)! It helped quite a bit, but I had trouble understanding what git rebase does. I've read the documentation for git-rebase at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rebase.html but it still doesn't make sense to me (I usually only ever use git add, rm, stash, reset, pull, push, fetch, commit and gui). As far as I can tell, git-rebase stashes away your current commits that are ahead of origin, puts origin as the head, then applies your commits again, leaving you on square one, with the exception that any commits that have already been accepted upstream are not applied, since it would just do the same thing. Even so, that's not much of an exception, right?
What am I missing about git-rebase/what do you use it for in layman's terms? At any rate, I thought it was well-written. :-) Thanks again, Victor On Jan 2, 11:43 pm, "Andrew Chilton" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Viktor, > > 2009/1/3 Victor <[email protected]>: > > > However, I'd still like to set up my git configuration to pull and > > fetch from the public URL of my repository and to push to the private > > one (with @ and : in it).
