I have created a custom Git Hook for &quot;commit-msg&quot; which says I should add a specific text for the commit message, I want this hook to be a part of my git repo centrally so that whoever clones the repo should get this hook in his local.  I am not able to push this hook as part of the git add/commit/push command, could anyone let me know if it possible to add hook? how to push git hook to remote repo? Thanks, Abhishek

We'd like to make a few basic hook scripts that we can all share -- for things like pre-formatting commit messages.  Git has hook scripts for that that are normally stored under &lt;project&gt;/.git/hooks/.  However, those scripts are not propagated when people do a clone and they are not version controlled.    Is there a good way to help everyone get the right hook scripts?  Can I just make those hook scripts point to version controlled scripts in my repo?

I have read many threads on this topic, but none of the solutions have worked for me.   I am trying to do the following:  RELEASE_COMMAND_OUTPUT=$(exec ~/temp/execs/github-release release --user patick --repo $REPO_NAME --tag $RELEASE_VERSION --name $RELEASE_VERSION --description "$DESC")   but the output of ./github-release is not stored in the RELEASE_COMMAND_OUTPUT variable.   I'm aware of the concept of , but none of the solutions I've tried have worked. What am I doing wrong?

Related:    I've created my custom context menu item, and it seems to work on all file types - even through shortcut links.  (Selecting my custom option performs the operation on the shortcut target, not the .lnk file.)  Now, I'd like to create an icon to make it stand out.  My antivirus program and Notepad++ seem to have been able to do this, so I know it's possible.  The only question is, how?

What is the command to insert inline code words into the text like this?   I know there are packages for inserting snippets into the code, but I need to insert keywords within the main text. I was wondering if there is a more convenient way to do that.

I mistakenly added files to Git using the command:  git add myfile.txt   I have not yet run git commit. Is there a way to undo this, so these files won't be included in the commit?

I have an unusual idea to use git as a backup system. So let's say I have a directory ./backup/myfiles and I want to back that up using git. To keep things clean I don't want to have a .git directory in the myfiles folder, so I thought I could create ./backup/git_repos/myfiles. From looking at the git docs, I've tried doing this:  $ cd backup/myfiles $ mkdir ../git_repos/myfiles $ git --git-dir=../git_repos/myfiles init Initialized empty Git repository in backup/git_repos/myfiles/ $ git --git-dir="../git_repos/myfiles/" add foo fatal: pathspec 'foo' did not match any files   You can see the error message I get there. What am I doing wrong?

I have a Git repo that I have deleted four files from using rm (not git rm), and my Git status looks like this:  #    deleted:    file1.txt #    deleted:    file2.txt #    deleted:    file3.txt #    deleted:    file4.txt   How do I remove these files from Git without having to manually go through and add each file like this:  git rm file1 file2 file3 file4   Ideally, I'm looking for something that works in the same way that git add . does, if that's possible.

Some of the git commands have many options, and it would often be useful to search through them for the one I need - I was just looking for the option which controls the TAB width in git-gui, but there are about 200 completions for git config. An obvious workaround is to copy all the completions into an editor and search through them, but I'd rather do  [something] | grep tab   There are no man or info pages for compgen, help compgen doesn't even explain its own options, and there's no auto-complete for compgen (how's that for irony?).  PS:  doesn't work.  PPS: This is not a question about git-gui - The  was elsewhere.  PPPS: This is not about auto-completing commands, only command parameters.

When I've worked a bit with my source code, I did my usual thing commit and then I pushed to a remote repository. But then I noticed I forgot to organize my imports in the source code. So I do the amend command to replace the previous commit:  &gt; git commit --amend   Unfortunately the commit can't be pushed back to the repository. It is rejected like this:  &gt; git push origin To //my.remote.repo.com/stuff.git/  ! [rejected]        master -&gt; master (non-fast forward) error: failed to push some refs to '//my.remote.repo.com/stuff.git/'   What should I do? (I can access the remote repository.)

Does anyone know a package for ?    Failing that, is anyone interested in writing a command to create one? I'm thinking of something that would have optional and configurable separators above and below (e.g., lines or large quotation marks), and option to float left, right, or center. Ideally the command should print the argument and the pull quote so you do not have to duplicate the text that you want to quote.   To avoid duplicating existing questions, perhaps we should focus on single column documents, so that the pull quote has to be boxed?

Why is it that if I go to install an add-on from User Preferences > Add-ons > Install from File... and choose a *.ZIP, some add-ons will install, while others will return me to the User Preferences with nothing having happened (as far as I can tell)?  Is there a specific file structure required in the .ZIP? I get many add-ons from GitHub, using the Download Zip button, and even there installation of the actual Zip file only works some of the time.

In chat, the short code [metaso] expands to http://meta.stacexchange.com/ (no typo, the missing 'k' is the bug I'm reporting).  (And since this is too short a bug report, I'll note that I think that [metaso] should probably point to .)
