[git-users] "Medium" git: Worktrees, submodules, subtrees

(I hope this isn't considered "advanced" git.) So I just recently found out about worktrees, that let you have two different working trees from the same repository. (NB: Originally, I thought I had learned that git only supported one work tree per repository, but had a special "hardlink" to

[git-users] Two types of .gitignore cases/files?

2017-01-19 Thread Michael
On the question of "Should .gitignore be in git": Today, I had to try to work with someone else's repository, and merge it into my stuff. And, in the process, I realized that there are two types of files I don't want git to pay attention to. One is output files -- things that are generated

So reading that, by the time you are done, it looks like you have redone everything that git add/commit normally do. What do you gain by trying to script the plumbing commands directly, rather than using the existing porcelain? On 2016-10-14, at 9:40 AM, Sidney Souza
