Never rebase a branch that is already pushed online! Due to the structural change the rebased branch is no longer compatible with the previous one, and pushing it will fail, since fast-forward merge is not possible. |
Tagging
Finally Alan Turing has made a great success in the development of his Machine, and he would like to fix that stage as "Milestone 1". Help him by tagging the current state of the project:
| No Format |
|---|
$ git tag milestone1 |
Then the head of the current branch is stored under the name milestone1, so it can be found very easily at later stages of the project:
| No Format |
|---|
$ git tag
milestone1
$ git checkout milestone1
Note: checking out 'milestone1'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b new_branch_name
HEAD is now at 957f686... Merge remote branch 'gitorious/master' |
Tags can also be loaded to the server using the push command.
