![]() This bug, as best practices dictate, is fixed in master. Instead of making a merge commit, a rebase "moves" the branch itself, changing the commit that it emerges from to a different commit.Ĭonsider this scenario, you're working on the dev branch and a critical bug in the previous release is discovered. RebasingĪpart from Merging, there is another way to incorporate changes from a branch to another. Revert does not rewrite history, but alters the current state by making a new commit. Think of reset as the sneaky way to undo changes, and revert as the upfront way. Gitlab accepts the push with the reverted commit. This will create a revert commit, which is an inverse of the faulty commit, undoing the changes made in the previous commit. ![]() Right click on the update README.md commit and select Revert. The local branch should now be in sync with the remote. ![]() Simple, we accept the faulty commit and do another commit after that, reverting the changes made in the faulty commit. However, branch protection is disabled by default.īut what if I really want to remove a commit? Note: Github can also be configured to follow the branch protection rules from the Settings pane in the repository. These features can be further explored in the repository settings in Gitlab. You may also, disable pushing to a branch (forcing the use of pull requests), require code reviews before merging etc. Preventing overwrites is not the only utility of branch protection rules. You may chop and slice the other branches as you like, but you never cut-off the trunk (aka the master branch) of the tree.īy doing so, we ensure that, there will always be a way, to trace/find any commit pushed to the remote master. Making master a protected branch is considered a best practice. You can check these settings in the Repository section in Settings on the repository page on Gitlab. Any destructive operation on the remote master will fail. The master branch on Gitlab is "protected" by default. Why did the push fail even when we force it? The push, however, will still not succeed. SmartGit will ask for a confirmation, informing that the push will replace the remote branch. The flag -f or -force forces the commit, overwriting the remote branch if needed. Note: You can also do this from the command line by running git push -f origin master. We will, for once, ignore SmartGit's warning. Go ahead and modify the setting as told in the dialog box. SmartGit will prevent the operation, warning us that the push operation might result in commits being overwritten. Push the master branch as we have reset the local branch to a previous commit. We can see that the remote master branch is now ahead of our local branch. ![]() In a soft reset, the changes made after the commit that we've reset to, are not discarded but staged for the next commit. Part 1, this time we will do a soft reset. Inside SmartGit's log view, right click on the done for part 5 commit and select Reset. As we've done this a bunch of times now, there shouldn't be any hiccups. This final part will cover a few important concepts that any Git master should know. We already have the basic workflow drilled in. You now have a solid foundation of the core concepts of Version Control with Git. ![]()
