Coming unstuck figuring this one out.  How do you obtain a set of files from a specific repository and merge them into your current working directory. The difficulty I'm finding is I want to obtain files from a certain tagged release of the repository.  I've tried adding the remote repository and fetching the most up to date but I'm flooded with every single tag and then I'm unsure how to 'select' the files I want to replace with my own.  Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
I have made some changes to a file which has been committed a few times as part of a group of files, but now want to reset/revert the changes on it back to a previous version.   I have done a git log along with a git diff to find the revision I need, but just have no idea how to get the file back to its former state in the past.
Is it possible to change where macOS Notification Center alerts appear on the screen?  They currently appear at the top right of the screen with the menu bar:    Alerts appearing in the top right tend to cover up work I'm doing more often than not. They cover up browser tabs, toolbar icons, and window titles.  I would prefer, say, the bottom right corner of the screen.  If moving the alerts is not possible, is it possible to change the screen on which they appear? Sounds simple but I seem to fail every time, that is it turns into scrambled eggs instead. How do you make it so that you can flip it over both without it breaking and before it burns? How do I get a block with data to place myself? I have close to two hundred images where the subject looks like he just walked out of a sauna. It was 36 degrees with humidex, but he was not that red.   For comparison, attaching another picture, same camera, same lens, auto white balance, next day.       So, two questions, 1) how did that happen?, and 2) how do I fix it? I can bring down the red, but then I have to manually bring back the lip color in 200 pictures.   And next time when I deal with an older guy at 36 degrees C I will be shooting indoors.   *Edit: The camera is Olympus EPM 2. I am now guessing that he may have been THAT red, but my eyes tricked me. The last picture is from the beginning of the shoot before he got very hot and had two glasses of wine AND the background worked better for his skin and clothes. I do not have colour management setup, but I will get on it. How many of Trelawney's prophecies have come true? Throughout the Harry Potter series, Professor Trelawney makes many different prophecies and predictions. Although most of them are implied to be nonsense, often enough they still get fulfilled. Which ones have come true? Which ones have been proven false? Which ones are still possible?  How many of Trelawney's prophecies have come true?  I'm not asking if Divination in Harry Potter is real, or what it is. I am asking for a finite list of which of Trelawney's prophecies came true, and which ones didn't. "What day is it today?" vs. "What day is today?" How do I parse command line arguments in Java? What is a good way of parsing command line arguments in Java? In Java, how do I convert a byte array to a string of hex digits while keeping leading zeros? What does "+6 to hit, Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4)" mean in a creature's stat block? My friends and I are very new to D&amp;D, played like 3 times. In a monster's stats next to weapon damage it says stuff like "+11 to hit" and "Hit: 5 (1d8+1)". For the premade characters it just says things like "+4, 2d6 + 2 slashing", though. Why are there two "hit" numbers for monsters? Which do I use for the d20 roll to hit against a target's AC?  I mean for example like in the Ogre entry in the "" article on monsters.

Is there a way to get this information from any server (web server)? Any script to fetch any Ubuntu version's default installed packages list.  I will give the Ubuntu version, and the script will fetch the packages list.  Note: I need at least a server address. I can write a script for this. Do small title edits constitute trivial edits? Prove that between any two different real numbers there is a rational number and an irrational number.  My attempt at a proof: (Throughout this proof it is assumed without any loss of generality that $x &lt; y$)  1.) $x$ is irrational and $y$ is irrational.  In this case the arithmetic mean $\frac{x+y}{2}$ is always an irrational number between $x$ and $y$. Also, if $y$ is irrational then it has a non-terminating decimal expansion and so we can always find a positive integer $n$ such that $x &lt; y - 10^{-n}y &lt; y$. The middle of the three numbers here will have a terminating decimal expansion, and hence it is rational. It also clearly lies between $x$ and $y$. These examples of rational and irrational numbers should also work in the cases:  2.) $x$ is irrational and $y$ is rational.  3.) $x$ is rational and $y$ is irrational.  There is one last case to consider.  4.) $x$ is rational and $y$ is rational.  In this case the arithmetic mean of $x$ and $y$ is rational. An irrational number for example could be the ratio $\frac{ex + \pi y}{e + \pi}$  I'm not sure if this proof is a good method or if it is even valid, so some feedback would be appreciated. Google Chrome automatically adding websites to my list of search engines? I have noticed that certain websites (e.g. Stack Exchange sites, Dell, etc.) are automatically added to my list of search engines in Google Chrome.   They even add a keyboard shortcut to their entry. Here are some examples:   Dell: Keyboard -> Dell.com Stack Exchange Web masters: Keyboard -> webmasters.stackexchange.com Reuters: Keyboard -> reuters.com   Q1: Is this the default behavior in Chrome? (to let websites add themselves to the list of search engines?)  Q2: Is it possible to disable this behavior in Chrome?   Note: I'm running the latest version of Chrome: 11.0.696.57 on Windows 7 64, and I only have one extension installed: Google URL shortener.
