Tor, the guy who advised you doesn't really know what he's talking about. Git automatically runs gc every so often, and either way, git gc can only do two things: 1) Make some disk space available, 2) Speed up git's operation. It doesn't change git's operation AT ALL. He might have meant: run '

Peter, I'm not really sure (only a few mins ahead of you github-experience-wise), but it seems like you cannot push to a parent branch if you don't have the right permissions to their repo. So, in that case, you have to tell the owner that you'd like him to look at and incorporate your ch

Hi, I'm a fan git and I think some of the complaints being given here are a bit unfair. I think part of them problem was the way github was used. When there are only 4-5 developers working on a single project in the same room I would strongly recommend using a single central repository and giving

Thanks for looking into this. I don't think the root problem we were running into had to do with CRLF because at least in one case the merge conflict happened between Dick's changes and mine -- and Dick and I were using Linux and OSX (guess who used what), which both correctly use \n as the line t

I was there :) And -none- of my complaints are about github. Github seemed to work well -- we created accounts, created repositories, shared those repositories, etc. etc. Worked smoothly. What didn't work smoothly was git itself. We did some very trivial things, and not only did we get merge conf

Peter, If you view your fork on the github site, you can click "Pull Request" at the top of the screen. This will let you send to any of the other forks, then they can do a "git pull" from their client to merge your changes into their branch. (The only thing that makes any branch more aut

I don't think there was anything wrong with git or github. We just didn't know what we were doing. (I tried to help, but I'm afraid I made it worse.) One thing that I found that I thought github could have done a bit better was that they could have put more documentation up on what to do when yo

Regarding the Git integration in Eclipse, you can expect this to improve pretty quickly. Git is the future of Eclipse; both Google and SAP fund full-time developers to work on the tooling, and some Eclipse projects have moved to Git already, with more to follow. Regards, Neil On Apr 6, 5:56 pm, J
