# GIT HOWTO

## Partially Apply Pull Request

#.  git checkout -b other-repo-master master
#.  git pull https://github.com/other-repo/my-repo-name.git master
#.  git checkout master
#.  git cherry-pick COMMIT_HASH

## Fetch pull request

#. git fetch https://github.com/other-repo/my-repo-name.git remote-branch:local-branch

## Pulling remote branch

#. git pull
3. git co -b local-branch origin/remote-branch

## Cherry-pick with no commit

#. git cherry-pick -n COMMIT_HASH

## Merging

#. Keeping ours: `git checkout --ours FILE`
#. Keeping theirs: `git checkout --theirs FILE`

#. Stopping a botched merge: `git reset --merge` or `git merge --abort`

## Merging with vim

#. Start `git mergetool` and do your thing.
#. Choose the following (diff get)

    * diffg RE  (REmote)
    * diffg BA  (BAse)
    * diffg LO  (LOcal)

# Keep track of forked repository

#. git clone git@github.com:miekg/REPO.git
#. git remote add upstream git@github.com:USER/REPO.git

And then:

#. git fetch upstream
#. git rebase upstream/master

# Rebasing a branch (with possible outstanding pull request)

The same process basically.

# Find deleted filed

#. `git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- <file_path>`.
#. Then checkout the version at the commit before. `git checkout <deleting_commit>^ -- <file_path>`. Or in one command, if $file is the file in question.

    git checkout $(git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- "$file")^ -- "$file"

# Amend commit

#. git commit --amend -m "New commit message"

# Branch from commit

#. git checkout -b BRANCH COMMIT_HASH

# Delete remote branches

git push origin --delete BRANCH

# Checkout pull request

This is for <http://github.com> specifically. Add this to the section
`[remote "origin"]`:

    fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

Then you can checkout specific pull requests like:

#. `git fetch origin`
#. `git checkout pr/999`

# Remove nothave

    git clean [-fr] .
