I'm relatively new to Git.
I use it from inside Visual Studio 2013, for the normal operations:
commit, push ...
I used and know other similar products but not Git.
Similar being e.g. Mercurial (another Distributed version control
system), or a Centralised VCS ? The change to distributed VCS rips up
all the old expectations!
I'm searching in Git a feature I used in the past in another product.
The situation is:
I "inherited" a big Visual Studio 2013 solution under Git (A LOT of
files in overr 40 different projects).
This project has a remote repository somewhere.
II have full access to files, and to the remote repository.
I have a lot of changes committed locally but still NOT PUSHED to the
remote repository, and I cannot PUSH these changes now
Do you have a personal 'fork' of the repository on a server. This
provides you with a personal 'cloud' storage that ensures that your
local changes - I hope you have lots of commits and branches....- are
available in a 'backup' location
(sorry for the terms, I use Git from inside Viasul Studio 2013, I
don't know the Git correct terms)
I need to retrieve all files of this solutionAS THEY WERE AT AS GIVEN
DATE to rebuild that version of the projects and test.
This is the 'rip up' - Git doesn't care about file dates - rather it
cares about a group of files all 'zipped' together in one commit. The
date based file view is an XY-problem. What you really want is the
commit that is nearest that date that represents a working version.
How can I do this with Git without looking at the story of every file
in the project (a crazy thing to do)?
The worst of all is I probably will need to "navigate" not only once,
but 2-3-more times.
Best of all would be a graphical (human!) interface to do this: by
command line I sure will do a disaster.
the gitk tool is you friend here (it is part of the basic Git). It
provides a simple viewer and browser for all the commits and files
Thanks to all
