Git rm .svn files

There is no option to remove a file from only the working directory. The files being operated on must be identical to the files in the current HEAD. If there is a discrepancy between the HEAD version of a file and the staging index or working tree version, Git will block the removal.

This block is a safety mechanism to prevent removal of in-progress changes. Note that git rm does not remove branches. Learn more about using git branches.

Specifies the target files to remove. The -f option is used to override the safety check that Git makes to ensure that the files in HEAD match the current content in the staging index and working directory.

The "dry run" option is a safeguard that will execute the git rm command but not actually delete the files. Instead it will output which files it would have removed. The -r option is shorthand for 'recursive'. When operating in recursive mode git rm will remove a target directory and all the contents of that directory.

The separator option is used to explicitly distinguish between a list of file names and the arguments being passed to git rm. This is useful if some of the file names have syntax that might be mistaken for other options. The cached option specifies that the removal should happen only on the staging index. Working directory files will be left alone. This causes the command to exit with a 0 sigterm status even if no files matched.

This is a Unix level status code. The code 0 indicates a successful invocation of the command. The --ignore-unmatch option can be helpful when using git rm as part of a greater shell script that needs to fail gracefully. The quiet option hides the output of the git rm command. The command normally outputs one line for each file removed.

Executing git rm is not a permanent update. The command will update the staging index and the working directory. These changes will not be persisted until a new commit is created and the changes are added to the commit history. This means that the changes here can be "undone" using common Git commands. A reset will revert the current staging index and working directory back to the HEAD commit. This will undo a git rm. A checkout will have the same effect and restore the latest version of a file from HEAD.

In the event that git rm was executed and a new commit was created which persist the removal, git reflog can be used to find a ref that is before the git rm execution. Learn more about using git reflog. In GIT all the branches are already downloaded.

So switching only needs to update the files in your working directory. If you wish to get the latest version from the server you can run either:. To force create a new local branch this will give an error, if the local branch already exists :. Warning: With -C uppercase you can force the creation, abandoning the old local branch.

This may loose the data on any commits existing on the old local branch. This can be used, if the commits in question are hold by yet another local branch.

In git your commit goes to your local branch. To do the full svn commit, you need to commit and push in git. Read the section on the index. Indexed files may have different content, than the file on your hard-drive. Using commit with a list of files will always commit the listed files only and with the content you last saved to your hard-drive. To commit all modified files as on your hard-drive , including any file you deleted new files still need to be added first :.

Instead of a number of commits, you can give a range of revisions by hash, branchname, …. This also allows you do get a log of a different branch. You can edit the file, to merge the changes by hand. Or you can use either of the following to only keep your changes, or the changes of the other:. You can switch between the above states as often as you like.

But be aware that any changes you edited in the file will be reset with the above restore. Once you have the files in an acceptable state, you can mark them as resolved resolved with either:. Changes are stored as patch. So you can apply pop them to any commit, not just the one from which you stashed them. Will list files grouped in the following sections. Files can be listed as modified, deleted, new file, renamed. Unlike svn where any commit goes straight to the server , in git you make commits locally and send them to the server later.

Therefore it can happen, that you added a local commit on the master branch, and some one else has pushed and added his commit to the remote. At this point you can't push, as the server would not know how to arrange the two commits. Both commits want to be the head of the same master branch.

So you must pull first, and sort this out. Note: In svn the server would rename your commit to F, and put it behind the other E. The svn server does so without knowledge if that result is any good. A leading directory name e. Instead, just show if they exist in the index and would otherwise be removed by the command. This option can be used to separate command-line options from the list of files, useful when filenames might be mistaken for command-line options.

Use this option to unstage and remove paths only from the index. Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be left alone. This option suppresses that output. The command removes only the paths that are known to Git. Giving the name of a file that you have not told Git about does not remove that file.

File globbing matches across directory boundaries. There is no option for git rm to remove from the index only the paths that have disappeared from the filesystem. However, depending on the use case, there are several ways that can be done. If you intend that your next commit should record all modifications of tracked files in the working tree and record all removals of files that have been removed from the working tree with rm as opposed to git rm , use git commit -a , as it will automatically notice and record all removals.

You can also have a similar effect without committing by using git add -u.
