Re: [git-users] Re: using git for system configuration management

[Pranit Bauva]

Hey Jessica,

You could probably put all the config files in the root repo. Then
make a bash script which can copy them to their respective locations.
Now when you update one script, you can just run that bash script
which will update all the config files. Similarly you can pull the
repo on some other computer and run the bash file there. Hope this
helps!

[git-users] Re: I am a newbie

[Pranit Bauva]

Hey,

I am currently involved in GSoC 2016 with git. Git is a wonderful piece of 
software written by **very experienced** people. It is thus very difficult 
to get started. The best I can suggest you is to fork and clone the git.git 
repo, subscribe to the mailing list and try to see the discussion involved 
and also start off by reading the documentation and the API. You can 
definitely contact me for help in anything you want in the start. Its OKAY 
to not understand the project idea currently. This will take time and trust 
me it will be worth it.

Mostly importantly start using git in a non-trivial way. Get into the 
internals. Use the plumbing commands instead of porcelain  ones. And if you 
don't know the terms I am talking about then you seriously need to get 
started ASAP.

[git-users] Re: When changes goes wrong

[Pranit Bauva]

While book is one of the best resource to study git, but it can sometimes 
be a little daunting. Some books explicitly don't show what are the 
features of git and what are the features of github. I am judging by your 
email that this is one of your problems too. So I would suggest you to take 
a udacity course on GIt and Github[1].

[git-users] Re: It is possible to build a release with git?

[Pranit Bauva]

Many projects use the system of tags for their release. You can read more 
about tags on http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging . In short, 
tags are references to commits that signify a release. So whenever you want 
to checkout a release, you can checkout that tag and then "git archive" it.

A more technical description for both of the commands can be found in :-
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-tag.html
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-archive.html

[git-users] Re: Where to start coding?

[Pranit Bauva]

Hey Amey,

A git repository stores only the source code and its copies at different 
commits. The bug reports are not stored in a git repository. If the project 
that you want to contribute to has a Github repository then you may find 
there bug reports. Though its not necessary that you will find bug reports 
there because there are many projects that use Github as a "publish only" 
repository and manage bugs somewhere else. To start contribution, First 
read the entire docs not just the coding guidelines. Then start reading 
code and fixing typos. The docs usually contain a lot of types. Then browse 
through bugs and find the easy to fix ones. Fix those. Then when you reach 
the stage where you will know what to do next. The reading of docs is 
extremely important. Which project are you thinking of working on?

Regards,
Pranit Bauva

[git-users] Changes to be done in local repository if pull request is closed

[Pranit Bauva]

Hey all!

I am familiar with git but new to collaboration on project on github. I 
forked a repo (learnxinyminutes-docs) to make changes. I cloned it locally 
and made the required changes in the master branch only and committed it. 
Then I sent a pull request which got rejected. Now the project has new 
commits and it does not have mine. So the commit history is very different. 
And after merging it creates a new commit by my name. Now if I do some 
other changes, and then send a pull request, all my commits would show up. 
I got frustrated and deleted the whole repo, forked it and cloned it again. 
Where did I go wrong and what is the best practice ? And let's say if my 
pull request got accepted, then what changes should I make to my local repo?

Regards,
Pranit Bauva

Re: [git-users] Digest for git-users@googlegroups.com - 1 update in 1 topic

[Pranit Bauva]

I think it would be good if you maintain it separately as it would be
easier to keep track. You could of course do the same if you keep it
together. But I personally believe using git diff would become much
easier. And also remember that each commit should only represent 1
logical change. Now suppose you did changed one file in one part, then
it should be commit. Then you might change another file in another
part. And thus when you do git log, you will have to see which file
belongs to which part and then it would become tedious and
unnecessary. And I don't see any harm in maintaining separate
projects.
