Basic user info:
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Philip Helger"
Store credentials when using commandline git. Windows:
git config --global credential.helper wincred
Linux:
git config --global credential.helper cache
Newline settings for Windows users:
git config --global core.autocrlf true
# git config --global core.eol lf
Proxy settings:
set HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.mycompany.org:80
git config --global http.proxy %HTTP_PROXY%
Note: git does not differentiate between http and https
Exclude certain hosts from using the proxy:
set NO_PROXY=.company.com,localhost,127.0.0.1,::1
Note: change .company.com to your domain(s) and keep the leading dot!
Disable TLS verification for all repos:
git config --global http.sslVerify false
Enable prune behaviour for every fetch
git config --global fetch.prune true
Define a custom git alias to prune all gone local branches (for Linux) (source https://stackoverflow.com/a/48649889/15254):
git config --global alias.prune-branches '!git remote prune origin && git branch -vv | grep '"'"': gone]'"'"' | awk '"'"'{print $1}'"'"' | xargs -r git branch -d'
Select diff tool on Mac:
brew install kdiff3
git config --global merge.tool kdiff3
git config --global diff.tool kdiff3
Set the <scm><tag> element to e.g. origin/1.2 where 1.2 is the name of the branch at origin.
git rm --cached [file]
If you omit the --cached option, it will also delete it from the working tree. git rm is slightly safer than git reset, because you'll be warned if the staged content doesn't match either the tip of the branch or the file on disk. (If it doesn't, you have to add --force.)
Remove ALL Eclipse project files:
git rm --cached -r .classpath .project .settings
Globally ignore all certificate errors:
git config --global http.sslVerify false
Delete local:
git tag --delete tagname
Delete remote:
git push --delete origin tagname
Get rid of all non-existing remote branches:
git fetch --prune
Disable acknowledgement box in Eclipse (not 100% sure):
git config push.default simple
