[git-users] can I use the Git Logo in commercials ?
Hi, I am building a new SaaS product and a new company for it. This product will add some functionalities to Git via hooks. So I don't modify Git nor redistribute it. My service will be accessible by configuring the Git config file. Can I advertise my product with mention to Git ? Something like Git integrated or A hook for Git or Works with Git or Makes Git a all-in-one solution for blablabla ? Can I use the Git logo for it ? Where is the best place to ask permission for it ? --

But I can't find anything about being allowed to say Git integrated or some such thing. What is really of concern to me is: Is a git hook part of git itself? If so, then the GPL would require that you distribute the source. But if a git hook is more like an independent program which uses git, then you wouldn't need to distribute source. This is definitely above my pay grade. IANAL nor do I play one on TV. On Wednesday, December 19, 2012 4:59:45 AM UTC-6, lalebarde wrote: Hi, I am building a new SaaS product and a new company for it.

True, but your choice of the word trace is actually very precise, and that's what I was talking about in my previous mails in this thread: Git does not *explicitly* record histories of individual files. Instead, a line of history in Git is just a series of snapshots of the repository state linked together to form the parent(s)-child relationship. Each snapshot in this graph is completely unaware about which files are contained in its parent snapshot(s). Hence, like with `git log`, `git blame` traverses the chain of commits, considering each commit and applying its heuristics to detect file renames. --

My understanding is that you can use the *name* Git in any sentence that is accurate. You have to make sure that it is clear that you are not selling Git. You may have to add a footnote saying that Git is a trademark owned by [whoever it is]. The Git logo is copyrighted, and the rules regarding copyright are different in different countries. Generally, you have to find who owns the copyright and get their permission to use it. -- In any case, if there is significant money involved (and there is), you should hire a lawyer.

[git-users] git.for solo developer
Do you think git would be useful for a solo developer as I am right now? I am developing a web app alone-no other developers. VCS is always useful kind of aid for a developer. But I think Git is intended more for teams of developers that wotk on the same project so that they can take advantage of Git's distributed functionality. I am asking these things because I am complete beginner in Git and in general to version control systems --

I am asking these things because I am complete beginner in Git and in general to version control systems I'm in the same situation. In the past I used Subversion, then Mercurial and now I'm starting to use Git. First of all, a DVCS is much more flexible, compared to traditional VCS. Just think about the case when you develop some common code in a separate library, and you want to release it under an open source license. With a DVCS sharing it is not a problem. In the past there was not even support for mirroring a Subversion repository... Another useful feature of git (and mercurial) is the ability to amend a commit (and I use it a lot!). Compared to Mercurial one critical benefit of Git is easy branch support. I suggest you to read the Pro Git book, and compare it with the Mercurial book and the Subversion book (all available free online and as a PDF). Working in topic branches really change your way of working. With Mercurial usually I ended up in chaos, when I was working on multiple things at once.

Re: [git-users] can I use the Git Logo in commercials ?
Thanks a lot Dale and John for your help. For the logo, reading the licence, it looks actually alright with the credits. My software is independent from Git. It is just a filter that one can use from the Git config file. But I will care thanks to your recommandation and make clear assessment on what I am not and add credits for Git too. --
Re: [git-users] git.for solo developer
Dmitris: all my work is solo and I love git. The git command line is (for me) non-intuitive and inconsistent, but the ease of making ad hoc branches to try some ideas, and then abandon or merge is unrivaled.

[git-users] git - svn migration question
I have what is probably a silly question. Short background: I hate SVN and finally got my boss to agree to move to git, if I can make him happy with it. I started looking at migrating today and ran the following command for our relatively small repo. It should be noted that I have the standard /trunk/branches/tags directories from the svn_url: git svn clone svn_url --authors-file=users.txt --no-metadata -s Git_Repo_Name The repo itself looks to have been created with all revisions, but the tags and branches are missing. When I CD into the directory and type git tag -l it comes up empty, and when I type in git show-branch I get one entry, which isn't really a branch at all. Just a revision where the comment had b as the first letter. For what it's worth, both the svn server and the new git installation are on windows boxes. Not sure the version on svn, but I think it may have been Visual SVN. svn server is the latest version of git on Windoes Server 2008R2 x64. I asked for help on the irc channel before I wrote this, and didn't get much, but some one had me run git branch -a. The results look about like this: * master remotes/branch . remotes/branch remotes/branch@pegrev . remotes/tags/tag remotes/tags/tag@pegrev remotes/trunk So lots of questions: Why do some of the branches and tags show up with an @pegrev and not others? Maybe it's something I don't need to worry about, but what is it? Since these are showing up as remote, does that mean that they are in the svn repo only? Big question I guess is what am I doing wrong? How do I import my svn repo into git, complete with branches and tags? As a bonus question, how do I do that into a bare git repo? The best method I've found so far is to clone it local and then git clone --bare Git_Repo_Name git_repo_name.git Will that even work? Is it the best way for a bare repo migrated from svn? Any help would be appreciated. tia, Daniel --
[git-users] Help:How to merge multiple commits to one?
Hi,All: I need to merge multiple special commits to one.Please help me. For example, I have some commits like this： A-B-C-D-E. Some of these were commited by me. I want to select them and merge them to one commit just like A-C-E.The new commit A include the commit A B and D. Now I knew one method to merge multiple commits to one. *git resest --soft HEAD^n* ***git commit --amend* BUT this method can just merge the TOP n commit not the special ones. Please tell me how can I finish this work.Thanks. --
