When we push all changes in master branch to our live website, we'd like to first take a "snapshot" of the live site code Git-wise so we can immediately revert if something goes wrong with the newest push. Whats the best way to do that?

Here are the commands:

cd /var/www/sites/developers

sudo chmod 775 -R bgust

sudo chown bgust:apache -R bgust

What am I doing? This was a list of commands executed by my coworker on my behalf. I recognize the first line in that I'm navigating to the "developers" directory.

sudo -> I'm utliizing the permissions associated with the "super user"

chmod / chown -> chmod and chown: "change mode" I'm changing the permissions an "chown" I'm changing the owner of a particular file or directory.

775 ->changing permissions to the owner and the group has full read / write permission.

But what does "-R" mean and what does "sudo chown bgust:apache -R bgust" mean?

Thanks!

I use "Remote Desktop Connection" from my windows PC to connect to remote Linux Virtual Machine running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.
I open terminal window and type following command to clone git repository:

git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky_local_copy

The response is as follows:

I open Mozilla Firefox Web Browser, enter git.yoctoproject.org and connect.  Why Web Browser connects to this site but from terminal cannot connect to this site?

Hi,

There is a lot on documentation but that doesn't tell anything of there isn t a good example.

Hi Experts,
 I am very new in Azure. We are working on Proof of Concept project for Azure. We have created the Platform as per the attached Architecture diagram. Now we have to test this environment is working or not by deploying any application. We don't want to spend more time to build any application since we just have to test.

What is the best way to do it? Do i get any application form github? Also can you please help me with steps for this task?

I know it's a stupid question but i will need some guidance.

I just wonder is there anyone have experience to use git system for network drives?

I have a team and we're working on a sharedrive on network but the files are ASCII files and each members made some modificiation on files and it's hard to track what's the changes and etc. is there any way to see History, Pull, Push and Branch options on files.

Any idea would be grateful.

Thank you.

I am using Visual Studio code on a mac. I accidentally named a file with a “\” in it. I have now renamed that to use “$”. Like the Ola scripts: sql_host$instance_name.sql. I am trying to push the changes to the Azure DevOps repo, but I keep getting an error that I have an inappropriate character in the file name. This is holding up all other changes from being committed to the repo. So now it shows 6 changes waiting to commit, but I know they are just held up by the single .sql file that was misnamed and now been renamed. How can I just wipe out all my history and start over?

error: remote unpack failed: error VS403655: The push was rejected because Updates-[server\INSTANCE1].sql contains '\', which isn't a valid file or directory character. 
To https://dev.azure.com/DBA-TEAM/DBA/_git/DBA-TEAM

Select all Open in new window

I have since renamed this file to Updates-[server$INSTANCE1].sql but I am still getting the above error when trying to push.

Hi,
I have performed mvn release:prepare release:perform.
And a tag got created. I am using git and phabricator
Now i had to make some minor changes to the code. But dont want to create another tag unnecessarily.
So can i make the earlier tag point to the new code ?
The tag is important because that is how the build system in our office works...
But each time i make some change for deployment i dont want to create a new tag. and somehow make the older tag point to new code

Please suggest how to do it. and any alternatives ?

Thanks

Hi,
I have noticed sometimes whenever i do a git pull.
The editor will open up for merging with the default message :
Merge branch 'branch-name' of 10.1.5.12:app-portal into 'branch_name'
And i unnecessarily end up creating a new commit.

I dont know why this is happening ?
Ideally when i do a git pull it should just pull out the changes and not merge something...
Moreover why this message is appearing in the commit ?

Thanks

Hi,
I have made a local commit to the repo.
The remote branch is ahead by one commit. So I forgot to take the pull and commit my changes to local.
I did a git pull and git push
I saw the following 2 commits in the branch. The last one is weird.
whats the need for that to be created. how can i avoid that ?
So here my local branch was on 1f6a commit
and the origin was at 0ca commit

when i tried to push i got the error message :
On branch stage
Your branch and 'origin/stage' have diverged,
and have 1 and 2 different commits each, respectively.
  (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)

after performing git pull i did git commit
and the top two commits were produced. Ideally only one commit should have
produced that of Remove nanosecond message.
How to avoid this top commit.
One way is to uncommit your latest change and then take a git pull
How to uncommit the lates change that is in local ?

This problem is mainly coming when i am committing something and the origin branch is
ahead of local branch.
The Merge branch 'stage' of 10.1.5.12:app-portal into stage commit
which was automatically created has this in it. It shows two parents !!

Thanks
