I want to combine the git push command to one line, such as gitpush -m "fix bug #123" -f file1.html, file2.html ...
only file1.html and file2.html will commit and update to the server
how to make it?
try adding the following function to your .bashrc (or .bash_profile if Mac):
function allinone() {
for i in ${#:2}
do
git add $i
done
git commit -a -m "$1"
git push
}
Then you just can add, commit and push typing:
allinone "Adding, commiting and pushing 3 files at once" file1.html file2.html file3.html
The first parameter must be the comment, and the rest of the parameters are the files that you want to add, commit and push (notice that files are separated by spaces)
I hope this helps!

I have spent a long time reading and trying to figure out git commit --amend, but I still do not understand how the # are used in the editmsg.
I am worried to edit this without knowing what I am doing because I have read that git commit --amend only does the most recent commit,and once I save and exit , it will be counted as a new commit.
I have accidentally committed and pushed (but the push failed) some large files. But I have also written scripts that were supposed to be pushed from the same commit as the large files.
I am trying to delete the lines with the large files in the new commit , but I don't understand how to do this.
This is my commit file below, but I don't understadn if I should delete the lines with the # (I tried this but it didn't work , and the git log is the same ):
the commit message of the one I want to change is here but I don't want to just change the message, I want to delete the large files in the commit so that the push works.
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
#
# Date: Thu Feb 8 18:30:32 2018 -0900
#
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
# (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
#
# Changes to be committed:
# new file: script.py
# new file: super_large_file.npy <--- I deleted this line but it appeared again, it is becuase deleting a line with # is ignored? Do I just rewrite the stuff after the # lines?
My question is , why does deleting the line of the large file (including the # ) not work and the commit remains still wanting to push the large file?
Should I just rewrite the commit file without the # ? But I also read that git takes away the # , so I am confused
First, those are comments: removing a line starting with # has no effect in your git repository content.
They include hints and the list of files included with the commit.
I would recommend, in order to actually remove that file from your repo history, to use the new git filter-repo which replaces BFG and git filter-branch.
Note: if you get the following error message when running the above-mentioned commands:
Error: need a version of `git` whose `diff-tree` command has the `--combined-all-paths` option`
it means you have to update git.
First: do that one copy of your local repo (a new clone)
See "Path based filtering":
git filter-repo --path file-to-remove --invert-paths
At the end, you can (if you are the only one working on that repository) do a git push --force
Second, the hints displayed in a commit messages are changing with with Git 2.25.1 (Feb. 2020): "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints configuration variable, which has been corrected.
See discussion.
See commit 5c4f55f (17 Dec 2019) by Heba Waly (HebaWaly).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 9403e5d, 22 Jan 2020)
commit: honor advice.statusHints when rejecting an empty commit
Signed-off-by: Heba Waly
In ea9882bfc4 (commit: disable status hints when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG, 2013-09-12) the intent was to disable status hints when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG, because giving the hints in the "git status" like output in the commit message template are too late to be useful (they say things like "'git add' to stage", but that is only possible after aborting the current "git commit" session).
But there is one case that the hints can be useful: When the current attempt to commit is rejected because no change is recorded in the index.
The message is given and "git commit" errors out, so the hints can immediately be followed by the user.
Teach the codepath to honor the configuration variable.
The hint (now visible in the commit message editor) will be:
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
I tried a different way than amending the commit , and removed the file completely from my local and github repositories. I am not sure how to keep it in my local repository still, but I don't know if this is necessary because I don't really understand the difference between my local repository and the local drive .

(I found this link from Bluemoon93's answer on Can't push to GitHub because of large file which I already deleted )
In the moment, each time I want to make a merge-request, I commit my changes and push it online with
git commit -am 'My changes'
git push origin my_branch:my_branch
and then on Gitlab, manually, I make a merge-request and assign the CTO.
How directly from bash could I create a merge-request an assigning the CTO?
I know there exists the following answer Is it possible to create merge requests in pure Git from the command line?, but that didn't answer my question.
How can I create a merge-request from my_branch to master?
Could I do git --assign=CTO request-pull my_branch master?
Use push options. Here is an example.
git push -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.assign="CTO"
I am using bookmarks in mercurial to emulate a git branches-like workflow.
One thing I'm finding is that whenever I push, I invariably want to push just the current bookmark. Rather than typing
hg push -B <bookmark_name>
all the time, I'd like to alias hg push to just push the current bookmark. To do that, I need a way of referring to the current bookmark without mentioning its name. Is there a way to do that?
I understand it was asked two years ago, but I found this page in Google and none of the answers helped. So here's what did the trick for me (Linux):
[alias]
currentbranch = !cd `$HG root` && cat .hg/bookmarks.current
pushb = !$HG push -B `$HG currentbranch`
cd is required for this to work from non-root directories.
Current bookmark name stored in .hg/bookmarks.current file of your repository. As an alias you can use something like this:
pushb = push -B `cat .hg/bookmarks.current`
Also note that when you update you repository state to any other revision, there won't be file .hg/bookmarks.current.
OK, platform independent solution, somehow ugly
pushb = push -B `hg log --template "{bookmarks}\n" -r "bookmark() & ."`
or, with nested command in more natural way it must be: hg parents --template="{bookmarks}\n"
Ugly because pure Mercurial-way using nested shell-aliases in hgrc
[alias]
cb = !$HG log --template "{bookmarks}\n" -r "bookmark() & ."
pushb = push -B cb
does not work for me
>hg pushb
...
bookmark cb does not exist on the local or remote repository!
Edit
Long time later, with new solution. According to hg help push
If -B/--bookmark is used, the specified bookmarked revision, its
ancestors, and the bookmark will be pushed to the remote repository.
Specifying "." is equivalent to specifying the active bookmark's name.
if order to "push the current bookmark" you can use just
hg push -B .
This works for me (and handles bookmarks with spaces):
alias pushb="hg push -B \"\$(hg bookmarks 2> /dev/null | awk '/\*/ { \$1=\"\"; \$NF=\"\"; printf }' | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//;s/[[:space:]]*$//')\""
You can use a shell call substitution:
hg push -B `hg bookmark --active`
This can be put into an alias (see alias section of hg help config)
I work on a team where we have a code in a mercurial repository with several subrepositories:
main/
main/subrepo1/
main/subrepo1/subrepo2/
The default behavior of Mercurial is that when a hg commit is performed in "main", any outstanding changes in the subrepositories "subrepo1" and "subrepo2" will also be committed. Similarly, when "main" is pushed, any outgoing commits in "subrepo1" and "subrepo2" will also be pushed.
We find that people frequently inadvertently commit and push changes in their subrepositories (because they forgot they had made changes, and hg status by default does not show recursive changes). We also find that such global commits / pushes are almost always accidental in our team.
Mercurial 1.7 recently improved the situation with hg status -S and hg outgoing -S, which show changes in subrepositories; but still, this requires people to be paying attention.
Is there a way in Mercurial to make hg commit and hg push abort if there are changes/commits in subrepostories that would otherwise be committed/pushed?
Since Mercurial 1.8 there is a configuration setting that disables recursive commits. In the parent repositories .hg/hgrc you can add:
[ui]
commitsubrepos = no
If a commit in the parent repository finds uncommitted changes in a subrepository the whole commit is aborted, instead of silently committing the subrepositories.
Mercurial 2.0 automatically prevents you from committing subrepositories unless you manually specify the --subrepos (or, alternatively, -S) argument to commit.
For example, you try to perform a commit while there are pending changes in a subrepository, you get the following message:
# hg commit -m 'change main repo'
abort: uncommitted changes in subrepo hello
(use --subrepos for recursive commit)
You can successfully perform the commit, however, by adding --subrepos to the command:
# hg commit --subrepos -m 'commit subrepos'
committing subrepository hello
Some things to still be careful about: If you have changed the revision a subrepository is currently at, but not the contents of the subrepository, Mercurial will happily commit the version change without the --subrepos flag. Further, recursive pushes are still performed without warning.
One notion is to use URLs to which you have read-only access in your .hgsub files. Then when you do actually want to push in the subrepo you can just cd into it and do a hg push THE_READ_WRITE_URL.
One possible solution, using VonC's "pre-commit" idea.
Setup two scripts; the first check_subrepo_commit.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# If the environment variable "SUBREPO" is set, allow changes.
[ "x$SUBREPO" != "x" ] && exit 0
# Otherwise, ensure that subrepositories have not changed.
LOCAL_CHANGES=`hg status -a -m`
GLOBAL_CHANGES=`hg status -S -a -m`
if [ "x${LOCAL_CHANGES}" != "x$GLOBAL_CHANGES" ]; then
echo "Subrepository changes exist!"
exit 1
fi
exit 0
The second, check_subrepo_push.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# If the environment variable "SUBREPO" is set, allow changes.
[ "x$SUBREPO" != "x" ] && exit 0
# Otherwise, ensure that subrepositories have not changed.
LOCAL_CHANGES=`hg outgoing | grep '^changeset:'`
GLOBAL_CHANGES=`hg outgoing -S | grep '^changeset:'`
if [ "x${LOCAL_CHANGES}" != "x$GLOBAL_CHANGES" ]; then
echo "Global changes exist!"
exit 1
fi
exit 0
Add the following to your .hgrc:
[hooks]
pre-commit.subrepo = check_subrepo_commit.sh
pre-push.subrepo = check_subrepo_push.sh
By default, hg push and hg commit will abort if there are outstanding changes in subrepositories. Running a command like so:
SUBREPO=1 hg commit
will override the check, allowing you to perform the global commit/push if you really want to.
May be a pre-commit hook (not precommit) could do the hg status -S for you, and block the commit if it detects any changes?
This question already has answers here:
Mercurial: how to amend the last commit?
(8 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am currently using TortoiseHg (Mercurial) and accidentally committed an incorrect commit message. How do I go about editing this commit message in the repository?
Update: Mercurial has added --amend which should be the preferred option now.
You can rollback the last commit (but only the last one) with hg rollback and then reapply it.
Important: this permanently removes the latest commit (or pull). So if you've done a hg update that commit is no longer in your working directory then it's gone forever. So make a copy first.
Other than that, you cannot change the repository's history (including commit messages), because everything in there is check-summed. The only thing you could do is prune the history after a given changeset, and then recreate it accordingly.
None of this will work if you have already published your changes (unless you can get hold of all copies), and you also cannot "rewrite history" that include GPG-signed commits (by other people).
Well, I used to do this way:
Imagine, you have 500 commits, and your erroneous commit message is in r.498.
hg qimport -r 498:tip
hg qpop -a
joe .hg/patches/498.diff
(change the comment, after the mercurial header)
hg qpush -a
hg qdelete -r qbase:qtip
Good news: hg 2.2 just added git like --amend option.
and in tortoiseHg, you can use "Amend current revision" by select black arrow on the right of commit button
I know this is an old post and you marked the question as answered. I was looking for the same thing recently and I found the histedit extension very useful. The process is explained here:
http://knowledgestockpile.blogspot.com/2010/12/changing-commit-message-of-revision-in.html
Last operation was the commit in question
To change the commit message of the last commit when the last mercurial operation was a commit you can use
$ hg rollback
to roll back the last commit and re-commit it with the new message:
$ hg ci -m 'new message'
But be careful because the rollback command also rolls back following operations:
import
pull
push (with this repository as the destination)
unbundle
(see hg help rollback)
Thus, if you are not sure if the last mercurial command was a hg ci, don't use hg rollback.
Change any other commit message
You can use the mq extension, which is distributed with Mercurial, to change the commit message of any commit.
This approach is only useful when there aren't already cloned repositories in the public that contain the changeset you want to rename because doing so alters the changeset hash of it and all following changesets.
That means that you have to be able to remove all existing clones that include the changeset you want to rename, or else pushing/pulling between them wouldn't work.
To use the mq extension you have to explicitly enable it, e.g. under UNIX check your ~/.hgrc, which should contain following lines:
[extensions]
mq=
Say that you want to change revision X - first qimport imports revisions X and following. Now they are registered as a stack of applied patches. Popping (qpop) the complete stack except X makes X available for changes via qrefresh. After the commit message is changed you have to push all patches again (qpop) to re-apply them, i.e. to recreate the following revisions. The stack of patches isn't needed any, thus it can be removed via qfinish.
Following demo script shows all operations in action. In the example the commit message of third changeset is renamed.
# test.sh
cd $(dirname $0)
set -x -e -u
echo INFO: Delete old stuff
rm -rf .hg `seq 5`
echo INFO: Setup repository with 5 revisions
hg init
echo '[ui]' > .hg/hgrc
echo 'username=Joe User <juser#example.org>' >> .hg/hgrc
echo 'style = compact' >> .hg/hgrc
echo '[extensions]' >> .hg/hgrc
echo 'mq=' >> .hg/hgrc
for i in `seq 5`; do
touch $i && hg add $i && hg ci -m "changeset message $i" $i
done
hg log
echo INFO: Need to rename the commit message on the 3rd revision
echo INFO: Displays all patches
hg qseries
echo INFO: Import all revisions including the 3rd to the last one as patches
hg qimport -r $(hg identify -n -r 'children(2)'):tip
hg qseries
echo INFO: Pop patches
hg qpop -a
hg qseries
hg log
hg parent
hg commit --amend -m 'CHANGED MESSAGE'
hg log
echo INFO: Push all remaining patches
hg qpush -a
hg log
hg qseries
echo INFO: Remove all patches
hg qfinish -a
hg qseries && hg log && hg parent
Copy it to an empty directory an execute it e.g. via:
$ bash test.sh 2>&1 | tee log
The output should include the original changeset message:
+ hg log
[..]
2 53bc13f21b04 2011-08-31 17:26 +0200 juser
changeset message 3
And the rename operation the changed message:
+ hg log
[..]
2 3ff8a832d057 2011-08-31 17:26 +0200 juser
CHANGED MESSAGE
(Tested with Mercurial 4.5.2)
In TortoiseHg, right-click on the revision you want to modify. Choose Modify History->Import MQ. That will convert all the revisions up to and including the selected revision from Mercurial changesets into Mercurial Queue patches. Select the Patch you want to modify the message for, and it should automatically change the screen to the MQ editor. Edit the message which is in the middle of the screen, then click QRefresh. Finally, right click on the patch and choose Modify History->Finish Patch, which will convert it from a patch back into a change set.
Oh, this assumes that MQ is an active extension for TortoiseHG on this repository. If not, you should be able to click File->Settings, click Extensions, and click the mq checkbox. It should warn you that you have to close TortoiseHg before the extension is active, so close and reopen.
EDIT: As pointed out by users, don't use MQ, use commit --amend. This answer is mostly of historic interest now.
As others have mentioned the MQ extension is much more suited for this task, and you don't run the risk of destroying your work. To do this:
Enable the MQ extension, by adding something like this to your hgrc:
[extensions]
mq =
Update to the changeset you want to edit, typically tip:
hg up $rev
Import the current changeset into the queue:
hg qimport -r .
Refresh the patch, and edit the commit message:
hg qrefresh -e
Finish all applied patches (one, in this case) and store them as regular changesets:
hg qfinish -a
I'm not familiar with TortoiseHg, but the commands should be similar to those above. I also believe it's worth mentioning that editing history is risky; you should only do it if you're absolutely certain that the changeset hasn't been pushed to or pulled from anywhere else.
Rollback-and-reapply is realy simple solution, but it can help only with the last commit. Mercurial Queues is much more powerful thing (note that you need to enable Mercurial Queues Extension in order to use "hg q*" commands).
I did it this way. Firstly, don't push your changes or you are out of luck. Grab and install the collapse extension. Commit another dummy changeset. Then use collapse to combine the previous two changesets into one. It will prompt you for a new commit message, giving you the messages that you already have as a starting point. You have effectively changed your original commit message.
One hack i use if the revision i want to edit is not so old:
Let's say you're at rev 500 and you want to edit 497.
hg export -o rev497 497
hg export -o rev498 498
hg export -o rev499 499
hg export -o rev500 500
Edit rev497 file and change the message. (It's after first lines preceded by "#")
hg import rev497
hg import rev498
hg import rev499
hg import rev500
There is another approach with the MQ extension and the debug commands. This is a general way to modify history without losing data. Let me assume the same situation as Antonio.
// set current tip to rev 497
hg debugsetparents 497
hg debugrebuildstate
// hg add/remove if needed
hg commit
hg strip [-n] 498
A little gem in the discussion above - thanks to #Codest and #Kevin Pullin.
In TortoiseHg, there's a dropdown option adjacent to the commit button. Selecting "Amend current revision" brings back the comment and the list of files. SO useful.
