# Is required for git versions < 2.28, which do # wrap git to make main the default branch on init. # into account, so that it even works for git /dev/null thenĬommand git help -config | grep "faultBranch" # Thus, these dotfiles provide a git wrapper that performs extra The wrapped function issues a git checkout to the configured default branch, directly after an init. faultBranch combined with a wrapper function (only for git versions, that do not support faultBranch, which is queried once, at the beginning of the session). If you have problems with the above solutions, here's another approach (tested for git versions 2.7, 2.25 and 2.30).] To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, you can use: git push -set-upstream. This short command is the same as if you were running: git checkout develop git branch myFeature git checkout myFeature. It didn't work, because of my special setup. To create a new branch from a develop branch, you can run the following command: git checkout -b myFeature develop. [ Edit: Turned out, that my observation was wrong. Most of the answers to this thread work for some git versions, but no answer worked for all of the versions I'm working with (git versions 2.7, 2.25 and 2.30).īut thanks to all of your answers, I was able to mix your shared ideas and I finally found a way to support all versions with one setting:

It's entirely possible that the git developers will disagree.) (Of course, this is my personal interpretation of the manual. Which means you can also rely on the template being copied immediately after the creation of. Since this is explicitly documented, you can rely on it.įiles and directories in the template directory whose name do not start with a dot will be copied to the $GIT_DIR after it is created. That is to say, git init is guaranteed not to overwrite the HEAD you put in the template, and it won't use the template's HEAD to overwrite an existing HEAD either. The primary reason for rerunning git init is to pick up newly added templates (or to move the repository to another place if -separate-git-dir is given). It will not overwrite things that are already there. Running git init in an existing repository is safe. However, it really doesn't matter what message it shows you. Pull the latest changes from the repository. How this works: First of all, move to master if you are on any branch right now.
git checkout master git pull git checkout -bTo create a GIT branch from the master, you can use these commands sequentially. git, rather than relying on whether or not. Create a new branch from the master branch. Reinitialized existing Git repository in įor some reason, git decides whether to use this message based on the presence of the HEAD file in. Then, create the file HEAD in the template dir: $ echo 'ref: refs/heads/default' > ~/Templates/git.git/HEADĪnd you're good to go! Whenever you run git init, you'll now get the message: $ git init $ cp -r /usr/share/git-core/templates ~/Templates/git.git First, configure your template dir to ~/Templates/git.git (or whatever you'd prefer): $ git config -global init.templateDir '~/Templates/git.git' A simple way to change the default HEAD is to create a HEAD in the git template dir.
