            How to tell if a string ever existed in my repo using SourceGraph?

            Can I do such a search in sourcegraph? If so, what's the syntax

            Will doing this particular merge delete the common commits instead of re-applying them?
            Asked 2021-Oct-05 at 09:14

            I've been reading an article over here: https://medium.com/anitab-org-open-source/how-i-managed-to-not-mess-up-my-git-history-thanks-to-git-pull-rebase-fed452c661f0

            Based on my understanding she's got the following structure (excuse me for the rough sketch):

            She states the following problem:

            What if X approved task 2 and merged it first then review task1 and merged it after? Remember that task 1 has no additional codes that task 2 has since it was the preceding task. To make more sense, think of it with task 2 as the Register functionality and task 1 as the basic setup. Basic setup branch won’t have the Register files since I didn’t write that functionality on task 1. If this task 1 branch is to be merged after task 2, wouldn’t it cancell out (delete) the register folder/file that got merged by task 2 from the first merge? How can we prevent this?

            This is the sentence that boggles my mind:

            "If this task 1 branch is to be merged after task 2, wouldn’t it cancell out (delete) the register folder/file that got merged by task 2 from the first merge?"

            AFAIK, if task2 is merged to master, it'll take that entire path that connects it uptil master and merges all that to master.

            task1 would only have 2 commits that aren't merged with master (consider those slashes to be commit ids). If we merge task1 afterward, it shouldn't have any problems whatsoever.

            Or, if task#1 didn't have any extra commits then merging task#1 wouldn't lead to any problems, isn't it?

            It's not like commits will be "canceled out" or "deleted" if we merge task1. Correct?

            git - how do I switch my app to use code from a different remote origin (not just a URL change, has different git history)
            Asked 2021-Jul-12 at 02:27

            I had some intractable git-history related issues in my current (Rails) code repo, whose remote origin on Github is "V1.git"

            Thanks to help in another SO thread, I made an all-new repo with the issues fixed, and pushed the master branch of the new (fixed) repo to a new Github repo named "V2.git". FWIW, the files at the "HEAD" of both V1 and V2 are the same, but, if it matters, the most recent commit IDs are not the same and V2 also has a lot more git history.

            How can I force-overwrite V2 from Github to my development folder MYAPP, while leaving all untracked files alone?

            I'm guessing I probably:

            • in MYAPP, delete the current remote "origin" (points to V1)
            • and also probably delete the .git folder,
            • then simply clone V2 into the existing MYAPP folder where it will leave untracked file alone?

            Or perhaps should I:

            • in MYAPP, delete the current remote "origin" (points to V1)
            • and delete the .git folder
            • then add the new remote "origin" (points to V2)
            • then do git init
            • then something like git pull origin master ?

            Or perhaps it is as simple as adding "origin" to point to V2, then doing some sort of forced git-pull?

            The step delete the .git folder seems unnecessary.

            But you'll probably want to backup your entire MYAPP folder first, as better safe than sorry.

            Commits containing the huge file are still handled by the reflog so they can't be garbage collected just by a git gc.

            git filter-branch doesn't delete all files i want
            Asked 2020-Dec-18 at 13:35

            I'm trying to clean up a git repository of latex code that contains the generated pdf files, because these files have caused the repo to balloon up to a size of 300mb.

            Adapting a bit from the answer here How to remove file from Git history?. I tried the following command:

            git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch *.pdf' HEAD

            This reduced the size a little, but not as much as i'd hoped. When I then try the script found in the answer to this question: How to find/identify large commits in git history?, to find which files contribute to the size, it still shows several pdf files. However, if i try the script found in this question: Which commit has this blob?, it cannot find any commit that contains the file.

            I have removed all branches except the local branch. I have not pushed the changes to the remote.

            Is there any reason these files would still persist in the history somewhere? What other things can I try?

            How to rewrite git history to remove a modification to a file
            Asked 2020-Jul-19 at 16:06

            I have a question similar to this one but with the availability of filter-repo I wonder if there is a better approach now.

            I have a large-ish repo with a few problematic commits that I want to clean up via rewriting history (I will not be pushing back to origin, this will be the new 'master' repo going forward, the original will remain as-is in read-only mode in perpetuity).

            There are a number of commits where a file has been replaced with a large binary file. There are corresponding commits that fix the problem by re-instating the non-binary file.

            Given a set of these commit pairs, I could conceivably use rebase -i to manually fixup the commits. But there are many commits, and I want a scriptable solution. Can filter-repo be used to accomplish this? I can imagine using --commit-callback and checking the filenames in the file_changes, but I also need to check the size to determine if this commit is one of the problematic ones.

            • call filter-repo
            • with a commit-callback
            • which has the hability to!
              • check the content filenames
              • dump the right ones on disk, where you can check the size

            Asked 2020-Jun-23 at 09:38

            I'm continuing work at the same extension and am again stuck. Once the button I've added to the context menu is clicked I need to get a reference to the commit that is selected when it is clicked. The idea is that I then need to grab the code changes associate with that commit.

            I've gotten as far as getting a reference to the ActiveWindow which has a caption of "History - master". Which makes me believe I'm close. However, ActiveWindow.Selection is null. So I'm not sure where to go next to get the selected commit.

            This is what I'm using to get the ActiveWindow property.

            Took forever, but I finally managed to get at the selected commit. It involves reflection because a lot of the types used in the git extension are internal. There's got to be a better way to do this.

            The IGitCommit that I'm able to retrieve doesn't have the changes for the commit populated. Hopefully getting the changes that are part of the commit isn't as challenging.
