![]() ![]() ![]() GPG, timestamped, and a message attached.Following the philisophy of git, branching is an essential and much used part of the development procedure. Use annotated tags since they contain the author and can be cryptographically signed using There are two basic types of tags: annotated and lightweight. Point in time, like for instance versions (have a look at semantic versioning, We use tags to record particular states or milestones of a project at a given The commit history looks as if the rebased commits were all doneĪ tag is a pointer to a commit but in contrast to a branch it does not ever move. This also demonstrates that git rebase is a command that alters History is now linear and does not contain merge commits.Īll the commit hashes that were on the branch that got rebased, haveĬhanged. Which we will learn to resolve in the next section. If you give them a go, keep in mind that you might run into conflicts, ![]() The following exercises are advanced, absolutely no problem to postpone them to aįew months later. May have a hard time finding them as there is no branch pointing to them. ![]() Even then your commits will not be lost but you Git will not let you delete a branch which has not been reintegrated unless you Only the pointers (“sticky notes”) disappeared, not the commits. * 4f00317 (HEAD -> master) Merge branch 'less-salt' |\ | * bf59be6 reduce amount of salt * | c43b24c Merge branch 'experiment' |\ \ | * | 6feb49d maybe little bit less cilantro | * | 7cf6d8c let us try with some cilantro | |/ * | 40fbb90 draft a readme |/ * dd4472c we should not forget to enjoy * 2bb9bb4 add half an onion * 2d79e7e adding ingredients and instructionsĬomparing figures “Commit graph after merge”Īnd “Commit graph after merged branches were deleted”, “fast sequence extraction” or “Python interface” or “fixing bug in There are different branching strategies, but it is useful to think that a branch Other than this convention there is nothing special about master or main, it is just a branch.Ĭommits form a directed acyclic graph (we have left out the arrows to avoid confusion about the time arrow).Ī group of commits that create a single narrative are called a branch. Main line development is often called master or main. We see branching points and merging points. The strength of version control is that it permits the researcher to isolateĭifferent tracks of work, which can later be merged to create a composite We need to be able to separate different lines of work really well. We typically need at least one version of the code to “work” (to compile, to give expected results, …).Īt the same time we work on new features, often several features concurrently. Software development is often not linear: When we talk about branches, we often mean all parent commits, not only the commit pointed to. “HEAD” is the current position (remember the recording head of tape recorders?). Here the branch master points to a commit. Up until now our repository had only one branch with one commit comingĬommits are depicted here as little boxes with abbreviated hashes. In the previous section we tracked a guacamole recipe with Git. ![]()
