Issue/pull request resolution in separate branch¶

Create separate branch for issue¶

1. Checkout and update master:
   

   $ git checkout master
   $ git pull
   

2. Create, checkout new branch and push it to remote (so it will be tracked and replicated on it.michalczyk.pro):
   

   $ git checkout -b issueN
   $ git push -u origin issueN
   

3. Reload all files open in vim:
   

   :bufdo! e
   

Checkout pull request locally (for editing, testing etc.)¶

Github docs

1. Fetch pull request based on its number into new branch and switch to new branch:
   

   $ git fetch origin pull/N/head:prN
   $ git checkout prN
   

2. (optionally) Push newly created branch:
   

   git push -u origin prN
   

Merge issue/pull request branch into master¶

1. Push uncommited changes on issue branch.
2. Checkout and update master:
   

   $ git checkout master
   $ git pull
   

3. Merge adding comment closes #N (for issue branch), optionally view commits and push issueN/prN branch:
   

   $ git merge issueN
   $ git log origin/master..HEAD
   $ git push
   

4. Delete merged branch from local and remote:
   

   $ git branch -d issueN
   $ git push origin :issueN
   

5. Verify:
   

   $ git branch -a
   

Release¶

Move tag to different commit (e.g. after fixing some mistake)¶

1. Remove tag from remote (if it has been pushed):
   

   git push origin :refs/tags/1.3
   

2. Force replacement of existing tag with one referencing most recent commit:
   

   git tag -fa 1.3
   

3. Push:
   

   git push origin 1.3
