- Download the perforce visual tool suite from here: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/downloads/index.html
- Copy only the p4merge.app file into your /Applications/ directory
##git mergetool
In the middle file (future merged file), you can navigate between conflicts with ]c
and [c
.
Choose which version you want to keep with :diffget //2
or :diffget //3
(the //2
and //3
are unique identifiers for the target/master copy and the merge/branch copy file names).
:diffupdate (to remove leftover spacing issues)
:only (once you’re done reviewing all conflicts, this shows only the middle/merged file)
#!/bin/bash | |
# save the file as <git_directory>/.git/hooks/pre-commit | |
echo "Running Maven clean test for errors" | |

Imagine that you are versioning your sourcecode in git and building your code via maven. You need to make releases before deploying to production regularly. What should be the strategy we need to follow for releasing?
I've used maven-release-plugin for years to make releases. It worked perfectly with maven and svn, but we started to face problems when we migrated our code to git and to make releases on git.
After checking the literature, we decided to use JGit-Flow which is a maven plugin based on and is a replacement for the maven-release-plugin enabling support for git-flow style releases via maven.
I do not want to explain the details much because there are many great posts explaining all.
Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs
- Clarify and agree on the scope of the system
- User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?
These are instructions for setting up git to authenticate with GitHub when you have 2-factor authentication set up. This authentication should be inherited by any GUI client you are using. These are intentionally brief instructions, with links to more detail in the appropriate places.
