How to rebase a forked repository

$ git checkout my-branch
$ git rebase master

How to add a default editor to git

Delete changes on conflict while rebasing

If you generated an automatic file, pushed it but then there was a conflict because the file was updated by someone else, sometimes the easiest thing is to just throw away your changes and run the script again. To do that while you are rebasing you just

$ git rebase master

... CONFLICT: file.ext

$ git checkout file.ext
$ git add file.ext

$ run_automatic_script

How to amend to some old commit?

$ git log

Get the hash of the commit you wish to edit

$ git rebase -i 123456

It will open your editor with the commit options written as pick

Change it to edit

Your branch name is now changed to the commit’s hash. Edit your files then:

$ git add yourfile
$ git commit --amend

Once you have finished all changes:

$ git rebase --continue 

Everything is back to normal. Since you made a rebase, you need a “forced” push:

$ git push -f 

How to amend delete merged branches?

This delete all merged branch. Do NOT use -D.

$ for branch in `git branch | grep -v master`; do git branch -d $branch; done

Cheers!
