Getting git pull to work for new repos in GitHub

whomwah (Duncan Robertson) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:43:14 GMT

When creating a new repos in GitHub, I sometimes what to have 2 master branches on different machines to work on, and to use the version on GitHub as my root. In order to keep my 2 branches in sync I would run 'git pull', but out of the box on gitHub this spews out a message asking for more information. Adding the lines below should make it work again as expected.



git config branch.master.remote origin

git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master

Trac Wiki to GitHub Wiki

timmorgan (Tim Morgan) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 02:05:02 GMT

A rough start of a script to help convert the wiki syntax of Trac pages to GitHub-friendly syntax.

Some TLC is still needed on each output page, but better than doing it all by hand.

Project lives here: github.com/seven1m/trac_wiki_to_github



#!/usr/bin/env ruby

 

TRAC_DB_PATH = 'trac.db'

OUT_PATH = 'wiki'

GITHUB_WIKI_URL = '/seven1m/onebody/wikis/'

 

require 'sqlite3'

 

db = SQLite3::Database.new(TRAC_DB_PATH)

pages = db.execute('select name, text from wiki w2 where version = (select max(version) from wiki where name = w2.name);')

 

pages.each do |title, body|

  File.open(File.join(OUT_PATH, title.gsub(/\s/, '')), 'w') do |file|

    body.gsub!(/\{\{\{([^\n]+?)\}\}\}/, '\1')

    body.gsub!(/\{\{\{(.+?)\}\}\}/m, '\1
')

    body.gsub!(/====\s(.+?)\s====/, 'h4. \1')

    body.gsub!(/===\s(.+?)\s===/, 'h3. \1')

    body.gsub!(/==\s(.+?)\s==/, 'h2. \1')

    body.gsub!(/=\s(.+?)\s=[\s\n]*/, '')

    body.gsub!(/\[(http[^\s\[\]]+)\s([^\[\]]+)\]/, '"\2":\1')

    body.gsub!(/\[([^\s]+)\s(.+)\]/, '"\2":' + GITHUB_WIKI_URL + '\1')

    body.gsub!(/([^"\/\!])(([A-Z][a-z0-9]+){2,})/, '\1[[\2]]')

    body.gsub!(/\!(([A-Z][a-z0-9]+){2,})/, '\1')

    body.gsub!(/'''(.+)'''/, '*\1*')

    body.gsub!(/''(.+)''/, '_\1_')

    body.gsub!(/^\s\*/, '*')

    body.gsub!(/^\s\d\./, '#')

    file.write(body)

  end

end



Adding new files to your github repository
jrobertson (James Robertson) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:16:15 GMT
Here is a set of instructions to apply new files to my github repository which is called projectx.



Before you start make sure you don't already have the repository name listed as a directory in the local current directory.



1) copy the remote repository to your local machine

syntax: git clone [uri] # eg. git clone git@github.com:jrobertson/projectx.git

1.5) cd into the newly created local repository eg.cd projectx

2) copy the local file to the local repository directory

eg. cp ../projectx2/feed.rb .

3) add the local files to the local repository

syntax: git add [file] # eg. git add feed.rb

4) Inform the git system that you have completed the required changes for this session.

git commit -a # add a message associated with this file revision

5) copy the new local repository files back to the remote repository.

git push # updates the changes back to the server

Note: The text with the square-brackets should be replaced with your own values.
