1192 If invoked in a work tree, once the branch was created successfully

3219 .Dl $ got log -p -l 3 -R
3221 In a work tree or a git repository directory, log the history of a subdirectory:
3223 .Dl $ got log sys/uvm
3225 While operating inside a work tree, paths are specified relative to the current
3226 working directory, so this command will log the subdirectory
3229 .Dl $ cd sys/uvm && got log\ .
3231 And this command has the same effect:
3233 .Dl $ cd sys/dev/usb && got log ../../uvm
3235 And this command displays work tree meta-data about all tracked files:
3238 .Dl $ got info\ . | less
3240 Add new files and remove obsolete files in a work tree directory:
3242 .Dl $ got add sys/uvm/uvm_ubc.c
3243 .Dl $ got remove sys/uvm/uvm_vnode.c
3245 Create a new commit from local changes in a work tree directory
3246 with a pre-defined log message.
3248 .Dl $ got commit -m 'unify the buffer cache'
3250 Alternatively, create a new commit from local changes in a work tree
3251 directory with a log message that has been prepared in the file
3254 .Dl $ got commit -F /tmp/msg
3256 Update any work tree checked out from the
3257 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3258 branch to the latest commit on this branch:
3262 Roll file content on the unified-buffer-cache branch back by one commit,
3263 and then fetch the rolled-back change into the work tree as a local change
3264 to be amended and perhaps committed again:
3266 .Dl $ got backout unified-buffer-cache
3267 .Dl $ got commit -m 'roll back previous'
3268 .Dl $ # now back out the previous backout :-)
3269 .Dl $ got backout unified-buffer-cache
3271 Fetch new changes on the remote repository's
3273 branch, making them visible on the local repository's
3280 In a repository created with a HTTP URL and
3281 .Cm git clone --bare
3284 command must be used instead:
3286 .Dl $ cd /var/git/src.git
3287 .Dl $ git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master
3291 branch to merge the new changes that are now visible on the
3296 .Dl $ got update -b origin/master
3297 .Dl $ got rebase master
3300 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3301 branch on top of the new head commit of the
3305 .Dl $ got update -b master
3306 .Dl $ got rebase unified-buffer-cache
3308 Create a patch from all changes on the unified-buffer-cache branch.
3309 The patch can be mailed out for review and applied to
3313 .Dl $ got diff master unified-buffer-cache > /tmp/ubc.diff
3315 Edit the entire commit history of the
3316 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3319 .Dl $ got update -b unified-buffer-cache
3320 .Dl $ got update -c master
3323 Before working against existing branches in a repository cloned with
3324 .Cm git clone --bare
3329 must be configured to map all references in the remote repository
3332 namespace of the local repository.
3333 This can be achieved by setting Git's
3334 .Pa remote.origin.fetch
3335 configuration variable to the value
3336 .Dq +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
3341 .Dl $ cd /var/git/repo
3342 .Dl $ git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
3346 option must be disabled:
3348 .Dl $ cd /var/git/repo
3349 .Dl $ git config remote.origin.mirror false
3351 Alternatively, the following
3353 configuration item can be added manually to the Git repository's
3357 .Dl [remote \&"origin\&"]
3359 .Dl fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
3362 This configuration leaves the local repository's
3364 namespace free for use by local branches checked out with
3366 and, if needed, created with
3369 .Dq refs/remotes/origin
3370 namespace can now be updated with incoming changes from the remote
3375 without extra command line arguments.
3376 Newly fetched changes can be examined with
3379 Display changes on the remote repository's version of the
3381 branch, as of the last time
3385 .Dl $ got log -c origin/master | less
3387 As shown here, most commands accept abbreviated reference names such as
3390 .Dq refs/remotes/origin/master .
3391 The latter is only needed in case of ambiguity.
3394 must be used to merge changes which are visible on the
3399 This will also merge local changes, if any, with the incoming changes:
3401 .Dl $ got update -b origin/master
3402 .Dl $ got rebase master
3404 In order to make changes committed to the
3405 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3409 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3410 branch must first be rebased onto the
3414 .Dl $ got update -b master
3415 .Dl $ got rebase unified-buffer-cache
3418 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3419 branch can now be made visible on the
3423 Because the rebase operation switched the work tree to the
3424 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3425 branch, the work tree must be switched back to the
3429 .Dl $ got update -b master
3430 .Dl $ got integrate unified-buffer-cache
3434 branch, log messages for local changes can now be amended with
3436 by other developers and any other important new information:
3438 .Dl $ got update -c origin/master
3439 .Dl $ got histedit -m
3441 If the remote repository offers write access, local changes on the
3443 branch can be sent to the remote repository with
3447 can be run without further arguments.
3448 The arguments shown here match defaults, provided the work tree's
3449 current branch is the
3453 .Dl $ got send -b master origin
3455 If the remote repository requires the HTTPS protocol, the
3457 command must be used instead:
3459 .Dl $ cd /var/git/src.git
3460 .Dl $ git push origin master
3462 When making contributions to projects which use the
3464 workflow, SSH protocol repository access needs to be set up first.
3465 Once an account has been created on a Git hosting site it should
3466 be possible to upload a public SSH key for repository access
3471 workflow will usually involve two remote repositories.
3472 In the real-life example below, the
3474 repository was forked from the
3476 repository by using the Git hosting site's web interface.
3479 file in the local repository describes both remote repositories:
3480 .Bd -literal -offset indent
3481 # Jelmers's repository, which accepts pull requests
3483 server git@github.com
3485 repository "/jelmer/dulwich"
3489 # Stefan's fork, used as the default remote repository
3491 server git@github.com
3493 repository "/stspdotname/dulwich"
3498 With this configuration, Stefan can create commits on
3499 .Dq refs/heads/master
3500 and send them to the
3502 repository by running:
3504 .Dl $ got send -b master origin
3506 The changes can now be proposed to Jelmer by opening a pull request
3507 via the Git hosting site's web interface.
3508 If Jelmer requests further changes to be made, additional commits
3509 can be created on the
3511 branch and be added to the pull request by running
3515 If Jelmer prefers additional commits to be
3517 then the following commands can be used to achieve this:
3519 .Dl $ got update -b master
3520 .Dl $ got update -c origin/master
3521 .Dl $ got histedit -f
3522 .Dl $ got send -f -b master origin
3524 Once Jelmer has accepted the pull request, Stefan can fetch the
3525 merged changes, and possibly several other new changes, by running:
3527 .Dl $ got fetch upstream
3529 The merged changes will now be visible under the reference
3530 .Dq refs/remotes/upstream/master .
3533 branch can now be rebased on top of the latest changes
3536 .Dl $ got update -b upstream/master
3537 .Dl $ got rebase master
3539 As a final step, the forked repository's copy of the master branch needs
3540 to be kept in sync by sending the new changes there:
3542 .Dl $ got send -f -b master origin
3544 If multiple pull requests need to be managed in parallel, a separate branch
3545 must be created for each pull request with
3547 Each such branch can then be used as above, in place of
3548 .Dq refs/heads/master .
3549 Changes for any accepted pull requests will still appear under
3550 .Dq refs/remotes/upstream/master,
3551 regardless of which branch was used in the forked repository to
3552 create a pull request.
