In fact, pushing to HEAD is equivalent to pushing to a remote branch having the same name as your current branch. Set upstream branch using an aliasĪnother way to set the upstream branch is to define an alias for your “git push” command. We have successfully set the upstream branch for our newly created branch. * branch 808b598 Initial commit master 808b598 Initial commit Let’s have a look at the tracking branches again with the branch command. $ git push -u origin branchīranch 'branch' set up to track remote branch 'branch' from 'origin'. We can set the upstream branch using the “git push” command.
Master 808b598 Initial commitĪs you can see, compared to master, the branch “branch” has no tracking branches yet (and no upstream branches as a consequence) You can check tracking branches by running the “ git branch” command with the “ -vv” option. $ git push -set-upstream Īs an example, let’s say that you created a branch named “ branch” using the checkout command. $ git push -u Īlternatively, you can use the “ –set-upstream” option that is equivalent to the “-u” option. The easiest way to set the upstream branch is to use the “ git push” command with the “-u” option for upstream branch.
Inspecting tracking branches configuration. Why are upstream branches so useful in Git?. Set tracking branches for existing local branches. Set tracking branches for new local branches. Set upstream branch for an existing remote branch. Create a name for a new temporary branch (e.g. Open the branches/tags switcher in the GitHub’s web UI. Compose a URL, where deadbeef is a hash of the last good commit to the damaged branch. Open that feed and look for something like this: an hour ago Note that it will only work if you are “watching” the repository, so that everything happening in it appears in a feed displayed on your GitHub’s front page. Of course, you can not fetch them either, but there is a workaround. We will benefit from the fact that GitHub does not remove unreachable commits immediately. Still, keep calm and ask your teammates to stay off the remote for a while. You can no longer do git push -force sha1:master as you do not have recent commits locally (and you can’t get them with git fetch because they do not belong to any branch anymore). So, just before you did git push -force someone had closed a bunch of pull requests, and the master now looks nothing like your local copy. Case 2: master was changed by someone else before you messed up Now it’s time to learn from your mistakes. $ git push -force origin deadbeef:masterĬongratulations! You have saved the day. So all you need is to… force push (fighting fire with fire!) this commit back to the master branch, on top a bad one. deadbeef is your last good commit to the master just before you inflicted damage. The first group of symbols (which looks like a commit’s SHA prefix) is the key to the rescue. In the output of git push -force command in your shell look for a line that resembles this one: + deadbeef.f00f00ba master -> master (forced update) Ask people not to mess with the repo for the next minute or so while you are fixing things. First, go into your team’s chat and confess your sins. Just do not close or clear your terminal. Good news! You have everything you need to undo your mistake before your very eyes. But what if you are not that lucky? Then, read on! Case 1: You were the last person to push to master before the mistake If you are lucky, their local repository will have the full history of commits, your mistake will be overwritten with fresh code, and nothing will be lost. Then all you have to do is to go into your team’s chat and ask that person to force push their recent changes. Git create branch on commit code#
However, as one excellent guide tells us, DON’T PANIC! The good thing is, you use git, and that means everything can be fixed.īest case scenario: someone else who is working on the same code pulled a recent version of the master just before you broke it. Oops! In the blink of an eye, your teammates have lost all their latest work. After a long day of work, it is incredibly easy to execute git push -force instead of usual git push -force deis master. That may happen, for instance, when deploying with Deis or Heroku that use separate git remotes to build and deploy an application. While working with several remotes in the same git repository, you will eventually git push -force into master (or another important branch that should never be messed with). Sooner or later, this is going to happen. In this tutorial, we will show you how to recover from an unfortunate git push -force quickly. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where a wrong git command wreaked havoc on your project’s repo? People make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes can cost hours of your team’s time.
