Is there a way to remove personal data from IntellIJ Idea commit menu?
Because if I not specify author it will use my personal account and it's kinda awkward
It seems that you have entered your personal info when you were prompted to enter Username and Email.
You can run:
$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe#example.com
And this way it will change details for future commits

Git rollback/revert is disabled in my git repo. I Google and found this:-
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000260784-Enable-Disable-preserving-project-state-when-switching-between-Git-branches
But it did't help me. Pls check attached pic
As you can see file is modifed but git revert is disable. How can I enable it?
The git repo credential needs to setup in order to let Intellij know the git repo status. I did this
git config --global credential.helper manager-core
After this all is fine. Maybe this only needed in windwos.
So, here's my use case:
I'm attempting to develop an internal Mac app for the non-developers on my team, to edit some of my game's parameters. Ideally, the application will be able to recreate the necessary config files and directly commit/push them to my gitlab instance, which would trigger a CI build.
I know I could programmatically clone my repo to their machine and then edit it programmatically and commit the changes, but I'm trying to avoid having to have each user who is only editing a few files cloning 2+GB of code.
Any suggestions how to commit directly to a remote repo? In this case, both the user and my server can be considered "trusted". Thanks!
That would look like those config file could be in their own (very small) git repository, and kept in the main repo as a submodule.
However, once a submodule has been pushed back, a hook should make sure the parent repo update its submodule reference (git submodule update), and add+commit the new SHA1 of said submodule which was just pushed.
Otherwise, the parent repo wouldn't realize that its submodule has changed.
That also means the parent repo should declare that submodule as following the latest SHA1 of master branch:
git submodule add -b master /url/to/submodule
For something as restricted as this a single-repo solution would also work:
Make a configs-only branch:
git checkout --orphan configs
rm all but configs
git add -A
git commit -mconfigs
git checkout main
git push server configs
In the config-editor repos:
git init configrepo
git remote add server u://r/l
git fetch server configs
git checkout -t server/configs
# work work, then
git commit -am "new configs"
git push
As part of your build,
git pull -Xtheirs configs
I just want to know to what I am pushing when I use git svn dcommit and from what I am pulling when I git svn rebase.
Is there a commandline command I could execute that would give me that information? I just want the branch name.
Also, is there any way to see how many revisions I'm behind or ahead with git svn?
Thanks!
Try a dry run: git svn dcommit --dry-run, same for rebase.
In my experience of Github, I tought that I need to clone a repository with my user like user#gitlabhost.com. But when I try this, then it does not recognize my password from gitlab. Only cloning with gitlab user does work.
Can anybody please help me??? - How do I have to configure gitlab access right?
If you followed Installation Instructions of gitlab, then you must have installed it on an linux box under the user named git. Typically in a folder like this
/home/git/gitlab
Hence you should use git#gitlabhost.com
I am not sure what you mean by "configuring SSH". But since each user is expected to use her own keypair, there should be no problem in accessing gitlab managed repo's using normal git commands. Both the following should work
git clone ssh://git#gitlabhost.com/group/repo.git
git clone git#gitlabhost.com:group/repo.git
Each user must have set their own git identity (on their local machines) using
git config --global user.name "elitmus"
git config --global user.email "abc#gmail.com"
so that git can uniquely identify each user.
In my experience, I had to connect to the gitlab server, as the git user, and modify the authenticated_keys file, as it was filled with a bunch of random #'s. after clearing that, I added my SSH key in the GitLab GUI and was able to clone and push normally.
Hope that helps.

For different changes I made in my project, I need to restart Git repo and start with a new fresh version with the current project. How can I achieve this?
Many thanks
fire up your terminal:
go to project
cd myPath/MyProject
delete the current repo on your disk - your git repo = RIP
rm -Rf .git
init a new repo
git init
add your project to the new git repo
git add .
commit
git commit -a -m "init Project XY"
check if the repo is o.k
git status
What you want to do is create a new empty branch without any history. That way you start fresh but still have the option to return to your previous content. Inside the git repository, enter these commands:
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/<branchname>
rm .git/index
git clean -fdx
After that you are in the same situation as with an empty repository (i.e. start adding and commiting files) except that the history still exists in your old branches.
Note that all files you don't have in your old version will be permanently removed.
