Don't commit when adding lines that contain NOCOMMIT

The following prevents the commit from completing, and returns code 1. Put this on the repository's .git/hooks/pre-commit (or add it if it already exists), then make it executable chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit

#!/usr/bin/env bash

git diff --cached |grep 'NOCOMMIT' >>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ];then
    echo -e 'Content marked as \x1b[1;31mNOCOMMIT\x1b[0m'
    exit 1
fi

Result:

Ignore formatting commits in git-blame

 

A long-standing argument against moving to automated code formatters like Black is that the migration will clutter up the output of git blame. [...]

So when migrating your project's code style to Black, reformat everything and commit the changes (preferably in one massive commit). Then put the full 40 characters commit identifier(s) into a file.

```ini
# Migrate code style to Black
5b4ab991dede475d393e9d69ec388fd6bd949699
```

Afterwards, you can pass that file to git blame and see clean and meaningful blame information.

```bash
$ git blame important.py --ignore-revs-file .git-blame-ignore-revs
7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 1) def very_important_function(text, file):
abdfd8b0 (Alice Doe  2019-09-23 11:39:32 -0400 2)     text = text.lstrip()
7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 3)     with open(file, "r+") as f:
7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 4)         f.write(formatted)
```

You can even configure git to automatically ignore revisions listed in a file on every call to git blame.

```bash
$ git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
The one caveat is that GitHub and GitLab do not yet support ignoring revisions using their native UI of blame.
```

Rebase a sub-branch out of a parent and onto a grandparent

snippet

Suppose we have this cascade of branches.

  • develop

    • dev/feature-branch

      • dev/quick-fix

develop -- <...commits...> -- dev/feature-branch -- <...commits...> -- dev/quick-fix

And we want to move dev/quick-fix out of dev/feature-branch

  • develop

    • dev/feature-branch

    • dev/quick-fix

develop -- <...commits...> -- dev/feature-branch
        \- <...commits...> -- dev/quick-fix

To do this run

git rebase --onto develop dev/feature-branch dev/quick-fix

On git docs

docs

Another example of --onto option is to rebase part of a branch. If we have the following situation:

H---I---J topicB
                           /
                  E---F---G  topicA
                 /
    A---B---C---D  master

then the command

git rebase --onto master topicA topicB

would result in:

H'--I'--J'  topicB
                /
                | E---F---G  topicA
                |/
    A---B---C---D  master

This is useful when topicB does not depend on topicA.
