Bash – How to create alias for git bash to make fast cd through directories

bashcmdgitgit-bash

I'm using git bash and let say i have 2 folders: C:/folder1 and C:/folder2, I'd like to make fast cd from one to another.

I've tried git.alias but it seems to work for "git …" commands only.. and I'm not very familiar with all this bash stuff.. so how should I do that?

In bash you could do the following to create alias:

alias cdf1="cd /user/home/cloudera"
cd /user
cdf1
pwd

You will get result of pwd as /user/home/cloudera. You could do the same in git-bash prompt as well with directory as "C:/folder1" instead of "/user/home/cloudera".

Git – Undoing a git rebase

The easiest way would be to find the head commit of the branch as it was immediately before the rebase started in the reflog...

git reflog

and to reset the current branch to it (with the usual caveats about being absolutely sure before reseting with the --hard option).

Suppose the old commit was HEAD@{2} in the ref log:

git reset --hard HEAD@{2}

In Windows, you may need to quote the reference:

git reset --hard "HEAD@{2}"

You can check the history of the candidate old head by just doing a git log HEAD@{2} (Windows: git log "HEAD@{2}").

If you've not disabled per branch reflogs you should be able to simply do git reflog branchname@{1} as a rebase detaches the branch head before reattaching to the final head. I would double check this, though as I haven't verified this recently.

Per default, all reflogs are activated for non-bare repositories:

[core]
    logAllRefUpdates = true

Git – How to selectively merge or pick changes from another branch in Git

I had the exact same problem as mentioned by you above. But I found this clearer in explaining the answer.

Summary:

Check out the path(s) from the branch you want to merge,

 $ git checkout source_branch -- <paths>...

Hint: It also works without `--` like seen in the linked post.

or to selectively merge hunks

 $ git checkout -p source_branch -- <paths>...

Alternatively, use reset and then add with the option -p,

    $ git reset <paths>...
    $ git add -p <paths>...

Finally commit

 $ git commit -m "'Merge' these changes"
