Hi, I don't have an /etc/gitconfig on Ubuntu and I can't remember if a .gitconfig was created in my home directory, I don't think it was. You'll soon have a .gitconfig file once you start setting properties via git config --global as Git will create the file for you. I think you'll most

IMHO I don't think a third partition will have any effect, but I could be very wrong. I think the problem is a consequence of a couple of things, apologies if I'm covering things you already know. There are two things to consider, your local repository (Git internal storage) and your local

Hi Anatoly, Hopefully I've understood your questions... So each time you do a commit on your branch those become revisions/versions in your local repository. If you're not committing changes as you go then your local repository isn't changed. When you merge your branch back into trunk it

Technically Git doesn't need a central location, in fact that's the point. In reality Git is often used with a central repository to share changes but this is more about administration, enterprise engineering policies, etc. and to make collaboration a bit easier. This is not a bad list of the

Hi, Typically *submodules* are used; however, you have to be careful how you use them so I'd do some reading before diving in. There is also the *subtree merging,* which has an example here - http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Subtree-Merging Another option is the *subtree* command,

Hi, I use gitg on Ubuntu and it works nicely. It's not a full blown Git client but I don't need it for that and usually the command line is enough. I just use it for history, branch and sometimes diff viewing when the command line is just not quite enough and I need to see something a bit

Hi, Ok with your change to the GitFlow process in step 3 you'll have to be careful about doing that merge back to master in step 4, in fact I'd say just don't do it. The reason is that you'll be diverging mater from develop and it'll soon become difficult if not impossible to manage and I

Yes it really is a decision about the size of the project, the complexity of the features, the dependencies between those features etc. So essentially *Feature Branching* won't fit every situation and I think branching in general is more of a tool than a necessity and I think it becomes a

2013-05-24 Thread Alex Lewis
I'd agree branching is all that and should be the way to do development, it's more of a question of *how many* branches you go with and being sensible about it. As your branch count proliferates then it can become more complicated to keep track of what is going on, what's being done where,

From what you've said your assumption is correct, it should just be a fast-forward pull/merge on the desktop at the end. Is there any chance you could provide the Git commands you're using at each stage? It might also be useful to know how you set up the repositories in the first place.
