Git 1.7.8 changes for the everyday developer
- stock_toaster 15y agoNice summary. Thanks!
- g3orge 15y agowow. I didn't even know about git grep. Very useful
- pjscott 15y agoIt's probably my most commonly-used git command, to the point where I have it aliased to "g g".
- piotrSikora 15y agoYou guys should really look into http://betterthangrep.com/ http://betterthangrep.com/ :)
- numeromancer 15y agoWhatever happened to generation numbers?
- jacknagel 15y agoIIRC (I read the git mailing list) there was a lot of arguing about whether generation numbers should be in the commit headers or stored in separate cache, and then a different fix went in to speed up "tag --contains" and the discussion was pretty much abandoned.
- fr0sty 15y agoThe author should try adding this to his .git/info/attributes file: *.py diff=python That should make --function-context work better on python source files.
- technomancy 15y agoI wonder how hard it is to teach it new languages.
- fr0sty 15y agoAll you need to do is write a regex to match. Currently supported languages are: BibTeX, C/C++, html, java, ObjectiveC, Pascal, PHP, Python, Ruby, and TeX. More details can be found in the gitattributes(5) manpage
- a1k0n 15y agoIsn't it kind of odd that that isn't the default, given that diff=python is already built in?
- callahad 15y agoThe "[command] learned [option]" construct is a really interesting way to phrase directed development effort. I'm not quite sure what the implications are, but it definitely changed the way I parsed and understood the post. "Git is getting smarter" versus "New features have been added to git."
- alexchamberlain 15y agoWe all know that Git will, one day, take over the world.
