Git - version control system
- What is the `git://` protocol?
I've come across this protocol on cgit, hosted by GNU Savannah. What is the purpose of
git://
, and how does it differ, compared tohttps://
? Is there any security benefit over the same? - [repost] Best GitHub Alternative?
My account was flagged because I forked and contributed to the project Eaglercraft, and that means my account is basically useless. I have had enough of Microsoft's exploitation of power and want to switch to another alternative.
I tried GitLab, but I need to signup with a credit card and I am not comfortable giving my personal info out. I tried Gitea and the experience is great, but I am limited to 5 repos. I tried Source Forge, but I cannot verify my phone number when creating a repo. The prompt just returns an API error.
What other alternative should I try?
- TIL: you can define different users in your global Git config depending on remote URL
I was in need of using different signing keys (but same mail address) and had a little adventure in the advanced Git documentation I'd like to share. ______________
In your `~/.config/git/config`` remove the [user] section and add this instead:
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://your-remote-url/**"] path = ~/.config/git/user_a
And in
~/.config/git/user_a
use this:[user] email = username@example.com name = User Name signingkey = the_16_digit_GPG_key_ID
Repeat as often as you need. Just add another
includeIf
section for each of your remote hosts.You can also keep a “stub” user section in your
~/.config/git/config
if you always use the same user name and mail address but want to use different keys.[user] email = dirk@0x7be.de name = Dirk
In your
includeIf
’d files simply set the signingkey:[user] signingkey = the_16_digit_GPG_key_ID
Git automatically combines the two as needed.
A minimal working example:
File
~/.config/.git/config
: ``` [user] email = username@example.com name = User Name[commit] gpgsign = true
[tag] gpgsign = true
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://hostname_A/**"] path = ~/.config/git/config-A
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://hostname_B/**"] path = ~/.config/git/config-B ```
File
~/.config/git/config-A
:[user] signingkey = 16_digit_key_id_used_for_a
File
~/.config/git/config-B
:[user] signingkey = 16_digit_key_id_used_for_b
Now when you push commits or tags to
hostname_A
orhostname_B
the correct key is used to sign those (in the example, using same name and mail address) without having to manually edit this for all your local repositories. - git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net Git man page generator

is a beautiful thing. - How do I make a patch with email?
Apparently it's possible to make patches to code with email, which is stated in
GIT-AM(1)
; but I don't know what the definition of an<Maildir>
or<mbox>
is.Update: I think
<Maildir>
refers to a directory of patch files (typically generated withgit format-patch
);<mbox>
refers to a patch file (generated withgit format-patch
). - Can I sign commits with git subtree?
And if I sign them after, with
git commit --amend -S
, will that cause problems for later pulls or pushes with subtree? - Git Game: Guess who did which commitgithub.com GitHub - jsomers/git-game: The git committer guessing game!

Cómo usar GIT send-email Seamos claros, github nos ha mal educado a muchos usando herramientas de web/UI para compartir parches en nuestros proyectos libres. En realidad git fué desarrollado de manera descentralizada para usarse por medio de smtp sin tener que pasar por una web central. Hay una razó...
- Which source forge are you using right now?
Between Github, GitLab, Gitea, Sourcehut and more, what is the source forge that you currently use and why?
