I am forking a React app. I am trying to simply compile the open source code and run it Locally on my PC. I am using yarn command in PowerShell. Everything goes perfectly fine, installs all node modules, and at the very end gives me Error Code 1, $ rm -rf not a recognized command or batch file. So, there is a build parameter somewhere with the commands of $ rm -rf which is failing due to me doing this on Windows 10, and those being Linux commands. So, I think I can just simply find this parameter and change it to the Windows equivalent, or possible remove it entirely, but I have no idea where this build parameter is.
It is not in package.json, it's not in about 50 files I've opened and searched for it with Ctrl+F. I can't find it anywhere.
How do I figure out where this command is? What files does yarn reference besides package.json, package-lock.json, etc.? This is the only thing making it not compile/build.
I am aware there are certain ways to use this command in Windows, like with a Linux VM etc., but I'd rather understand the problem and solve it.
In committing and pushing to my repo, I get the following error:
The issue is that I've already manually deleted the video file. The video does not exist anywhere in my repo.
I also tried to
git rm src/assets/video/Greensleeves and it says fatal: pathspec src/assets/video/Greensleeves did not match any files.
How can I get passed this so that I can commit/push?
Try and apply the new git filter-repo, which does replace the old git filter-branch or BFG.
It has many usage examples, including path-based filtering, in order for you to remote the src/assets/video/Greensleeves file in past commits:
To keep all files except these paths, just add --invert-paths:
git filter-repo --path src/assets/video/Greensleeves --invert-paths
Then git push --force (that does rewrite the history of your repository, so make sure to notify any other collaborator)
Since it must be done on a fresh clone:
Don't touch anything to your current clone folder
Create a separate clone of the repository, where you do the filter repo
In that second clone, now cleaned (no more big file in its history), import your work from your first repo
That is, for point 3:
cd /path/to/second/clone
git --work-tree=/path/to/first/original/clone add .
git commit -m "Import work from first clone"
git push --force
I'm working with a project that has git hooks configured. Unfortunately. It was added to prevent juniors or headless developers to commit CI-check-failing code to their branch.
I am one of these, who ignore git hooks with HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS env variable, but for me it doesn't work in GitKraken.
Do you know how to ignore git hooks in GitKraken?
Well, I did receive a response from their support, that works for me.
Additionally, you should still be able to disable these hooks from executing. You will need to change the chmod permissions for the files, which reside under local_repo/.git/hooks.
chmod -x .git/hooks/*
And it works for me.
Are you using the command instruction like that HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=1 git <command> ...?
You can use it like HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=1 but also HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=true.
You can also bypass commit hooks in command line with : git commit -m "bla bla" -n.
If you'll be unable to run hooks for a long time, you also can use the core.hooksPath git configuration option:
git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null checkout master
git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null pull
git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null commit ...
git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null push
...
And (just sayin'), SourceTree has an interface option to skip commit hooks. As far as I know Git Kraken doesn't have one.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do this from the GitKraken. As others have pointed out you should pass in the Husky environmental variable normally. But here's a guaranteed simple solution that will always work. I'm currently using it to clean up some old repositories.
# Temporarily wipe husky
npm uninstall husky
# Clear out the husky package changes so we don't accidentally commit them
git reset --hard HEAD
When you're done in GitKraken re-install husky as so.
npm install
The command git clone git#github.com:whatever creates a directory named whatever containing a Git repository:
./
whatever/
.git
I want the contents of the Git repository cloned into my current directory ./ instead:
./
.git
Option A:
git clone git#github.com:whatever folder-name
Ergo, for right here use:
git clone git#github.com:whatever .
Option B:
Move the .git folder, too. Note that the .git folder is hidden in most graphical file explorers, so be sure to show hidden files.
mv /where/it/is/right/now/* /where/I/want/it/
mv /where/it/is/right/now/.* /where/I/want/it/
The first line grabs all normal files, the second line grabs dot-files. It is also possibe to do it in one line by enabling dotglob (i.e. shopt -s dotglob) but that is probably a bad solution if you are asking the question this answer answers.
Better yet:
Keep your working copy somewhere else, and create a symbolic link. Like this:
ln -s /where/it/is/right/now /the/path/I/want/to/use
For your case this would be something like:
ln -sfn /opt/projectA/prod/public /httpdocs/public
Which easily could be changed to test if you wanted it, i.e.:
ln -sfn /opt/projectA/test/public /httpdocs/public
without moving files around. Added -fn in case someone is copying these lines (-f is force, -n avoid some often unwanted interactions with already and non-existing links).
If you just want it to work, use Option A, if someone else is going to look at what you have done, use Option C.
The example I think a lot of people asking this question are after is this. If you are in the directory you want the contents of the git repository dumped to, run:
git clone git#github.com:whatever .
The "." at the end specifies the current folder as the checkout folder.
Go into the folder.. If the folder is empty, then:
git clone git#github.com:whatever .
else
git init
git remote add origin PATH/TO/REPO
git fetch
git checkout -t origin/master
Basic Git Repository Cloning
You clone a repository with
git clone [url]
For example, if you want to clone the Stanford University Drupal Open Framework Git library called open_framework, you can do so like this:
$ git clone git://github.com/SU-SWS/open_framework.git
That creates a directory named open_framework (at your current local file system location), initializes a .git directory inside it, pulls down all the data for that repository, and checks out a working copy of the latest version. If you go into the newly created open_framework directory, you’ll see the project files in there, ready to be worked on or used.
Cloning a Repository Into a Specific Local Folder
If you want to clone the repository into a directory named something other than open_framework, you can specify that as the next command-line option:
$ git clone git:github.com/SU-SWS/open_framework.git mynewtheme
That command does the same thing as the previous one, but the target directory is called mynewtheme.
Git has a number of different transfer protocols you can use. The previous example uses the git:// protocol, but you may also see http(s):// or user#server:/path.git, which uses the SSH transfer protocol.
You can use following git command to clone with custom directory name
git clone <git_repo_url> <your_custom_directory_name>
Note: You don't need to create your custom directory because it will create automatically
To clone git repository into a specific folder, you can use -C <path> parameter, e.g.
git -C /httpdocs clone git#github.com:whatever
Although it'll still create a whatever folder on top of it, so to clone the content of the repository into current directory, use the following syntax:
cd /httpdocs
git clone git#github.com:whatever .
Note that cloning into an existing directory is only allowed when the directory is empty.
Since you're cloning into folder that is accessible for public, consider separating your Git repository from your working tree by using --separate-git-dir=<git dir> or exclude .git folder in your web server configuration (e.g. in .htaccess file).
To clone to Present Working Directory:
git clone https://github.com/link.git
To clone to Another Directory:
git clone https://github.com/link.git ./Folder1/Folder2
Hope it Helps :)
If you want to clone into the current folder, you should try this:
git clone https://github.com/example/example.git ./
When you move the files to where you want them, are you also moving the .git directory? Depending on your OS and configuration, this directory may be hidden.
It contains the repo and the supporting files, while the project files that are in your /public directory are only the versions in the currently check-out commit (master branch by default).
Usage
git clone <repository>
Clone the repository located at the <repository> onto the local machine. The original repository can be located on the local filesystem or on a remote machine accessible via HTTP or SSH.
git clone <repo> <directory>
Clone the repository located at <repository> into the folder called <directory> on the local machine.
Source: Setting up a repository
Clone:
git clone git#jittre.unfuddle.com:jittre/name.git
Clone the "specific branch":
git clone -b [branch-name] git#jittre.unfuddle.com:jittre/name.git
Make sure you remove the .git repository if you are trying to check thing out into the current directory.
rm -rf .git then git clone https://github.com/symfony/symfony-sandbox.git
From some reason this syntax is not standing out:
git clone repo-url [folder]
Here folder is an optional path to the local folder (which will be a local repository).
Git clone will also pull code from remote repository into the local repository.
In fact it is true:
git clone repo-url = git init + git remote add origin repo-url + git pull
Here's how I would do it, but I have made an alias to do it for me.
$ cd ~Downloads/git; git clone https:git.foo/poo.git
There is probably a more elegant way of doing this, however I found this to be easiest for myself.
Here's the alias I created to speed things along. I made it for zsh, but it should work just fine for bash or any other shell like fish, xyzsh, fizsh, and so on.
Edit ~/.zshrc, /.bashrc, etc. with your favorite editor (mine is Leafpad, so I would write $ leafpad ~/.zshrc).
My personal preference, however, is to make a zsh plugin to keep track of all my aliases. You can create a personal plugin for oh-my-zsh by running these commands:
$ cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/
$ cd plugins/
$ mkdir your-aliases-folder-name; cd your-aliases-folder-name
# In my case '~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/ev-aliases/ev-aliases'
$ leafpad your-zsh-aliases.plugin.zsh
# Again, in my case 'ev-aliases.plugin.zsh'
Afterwards, add these lines to your newly created blank alises.plugin file:
# Git aliases
alias gc="cd ~/Downloads/git; git clone "
(From here, replace your name with mine.)
Then, in order to get the aliases to work, they (along with zsh) have to be sourced-in (or whatever it's called). To do so, inside your custom plugin document add this:
## Ev's Aliases
#### Remember to re-source zsh after making any changes with these commands:
#### These commands should also work, assuming ev-aliases have already been sourced before:
allsource="source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh ; source /home/ev/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/ev-aliases/ev-aliases.plugin.zsh; clear"
sourceall="source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh ; source /home/ev/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/ev-aliases/ev-aliases.plugin.zsh"
####
####################################
# git aliases
alias gc="cd ~/Downloads/git; git clone "
# alias gc="git clone "
# alias gc="cd /your/git/folder/or/whatever; git clone "
####################################
Save your oh-my-zsh plugin, and run allsource. If that does not seem to work, simply run source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh; source /home/ev/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/ev-aliases/ev-aliases.plugin.zsh. That will load the plugin source which will allow you to use allsource from now on.
I'm in the process of making a Git repository with all of my aliases. Please feel free to check them out here: Ev's dot-files. Please feel free to fork and improve upon them to suit your needs.
If you are in the directory you want the contents of the git repository dumped to, run:
git clone git#github.com:origin .
The "." at the end specifies the current folder as the checkout folder.
If you are using ssh for git cloning you can use the following command.
git -C path clone git#github.com:path_to_repo.git
eg:
git -C /home/ubuntu/ clone git#github.com:kennethreitz/requests.git would pull the git repository for requests to your /home/ubuntu/ path.
go to the directory where you want to clone the repo.
(don't run git init command inside that directory)
simply run the command,
git clone <git repo url> .
Example: git clone https://github.com/Rashmi-Wijesekara/portfolio.git .
Although all of the answers above are good, I would like to propose a new method instead of using the symbolic link method in public html directory as proposed BEST in the accepted answer. You need to have access to your server virtual host configurations.
It is about configuring virtual host of your web server directly pointing to the repository directory. In Apache you can do it like:
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/website/your-git-repo
Here is an example of a virtual host file:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/your-git-repo
...
...
...
...
</VirtualHost>
If you use github cli you can use the following command:
gh repo clone <repository> [<directory>] [-- <gitflags>...]
So for example you can run this:
gh repo clone repository-name-on-github my-local-folder
For Windows user
1> Open command prompt.
2> Change the directory to destination folder (Where you want to store your project in local machine.)
3> Now go to project setting online(From where you want to clone)
4> Click on clone, and copy the clone command.
5> Now enter the same on cmd .
It will start cloning saving on the selected folder you given .
Regarding this line from the original post:
"I know how to move the files after I've cloned the repo, but this
seems to break git"
I am able to do that and I don't see any issues so far with my add, commit, push, pull operations.
This approach is stated above, but just not broken down into steps.
Here's the steps that work for me:
clone the repo into any fresh temporary folder
cd into that root folder you just cloned locally
copy the entire contents of the folder, including the /.git directory - into any existing folder you like; (say an eclipse project that you want to merge with your repo)
The existing folder you just copied the files into , is now ready to interact with git.
