No, FTP is not just a continuation of your shell -- while the interface of a typical stock FTP client resembles that of the shell, it's not the shell, and in particular FTP does not support execution of commands. You basically have two options: 1) Install Git on the server. Log into the server using SSH and hence get a *real* shell on the server. Then you'll be able to execute any commands on the server (since you'll have a shell there). This options obviously requires SSH access to the server. And an administrator to install Git in it. 2) Somehow export a directory containing your repository either using a networking filesystem (NFS, SMB/CIFS or whatever) then mount it locally and work with the mounted directory using a local Git installation. If your local system is Linux-based you can mount a directory containing your Git repository onto your local system using SSHFS [1]. An upside of this is that it only requires SSH on the server. Another, different, approach is to quit using Git on the server either way and only perform deployment of a code which is ready to be deployed. I mean, no fixups or Drupal module patching or whatnot is ever performed directly on the server -- everything is done on a developer/sandbox workstation, committed and then deployed on the server using a tool like git-ftp [2] or rsync. 1. http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html 2. https://github.com/git-ftp/git-ftp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

Re: [git-users] Applying patch to Drupal module
I'm using terminal but i've gone to the directory via the ftp command. How would I apply this patch via SSH, is it similar commands like FTP?

Yeah, I remembered that immediately after I posted. That function always seemed odd to me--why would I log into a remote machine and run local commands?--so I often forget that it works that way. And "I'm trying to use an ftp client as if it were a remote shell" is the only interpretation of the OP's situation that made sense to me.

In a typical interactive Unix shell that `!' would re-execute the last command which name begins with the string "git". Did you mean FTP client then? But since when FTP started to support remote command execution? The `sftp` program of the OpenSSH suite supports `!' prefix as a way to pass commands to a local shell rather than interpreting them, but the OP did not talk about SFTP but rather about FTP, and in any case it's a local shell which gets executed, not remote. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

That's the syntax for running a local command without exiting the ftp client. If you want to run commands remotely, you'll have to actually use SSH.

Basically I was following a vid tutorial which eventually executed 'git apply example.patch' but I just get 'invalid command'. Is this because you can only patch Drupal modules locally? Git doesn't treat Drupal modules specially in any way. Are you trying to run git commands inside an ftp client, rather than in a shell? Try "!git apply example.patch".

My bad sorry for posting a 10mins+ video. Anywho yes I'm trying to update a module folder remotely. Basically I was following a vid tutorial which eventually executed 'git apply example.patch' but I just get 'invalid command'. Is this because you can only patch Drupal modules locally?

Do I understand correctly, that you're using some FTP client and "gone to the folder" in this context means you used that FTP client to navigate to the remote directory containing the file to patch? > I've been following this tutorial > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-oe7_qHreY Please try to explain this in plain English: it's not really appropriate to ask people to spend their time watching random videos to help you solve your problem. > but whenever I add the apply git command I get 'invalid command'. What's the precise command you're trying to run and what's the precise error message it generates? Please do plain copying and pasting. > Does Git only apply patches locally? What am I dong wrong? Your question contains too little information to try to answer. Running `git foo` tells me git: 'foo' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. Neither bash nor zsh do not use the wording "invalid command", and nether does Windows shell (cmd.exe) so I'm not sure what happens as you told us precisely zero information about your setup (note that the fact you're dealing with Drupal is most probably irrelevant to the problem in hand, and information about your system *is* relevant). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] Applying patch to Drupal module
I'm new to using Git and I'm a little confused. I'm trying to patch a module and I've gone to terminal and gone to the folder I need to patch via FTP. I've been following this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-oe7_qHreY but whenever I add the apply git command I get 'invalid command'. Does Git only apply patches locally? What am I dong wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
