GIT commonly used commands

# How to remove unwanted file from last commit
git reset --soft HEAD~1
Then reset the unwanted files in order to leave them out from the commit:
git reset HEAD path/to/unwanted_file
Now commit again, you can even re-use the same commit message:

git commit -c ORIG_HEAD

# How to resolve conflicts
After git rebase "branch", there may be conflicts.
If you want to accept the changes from the "branch" , just run:
git checkout --ours
Or If you want to accept the changes from current branch, just run:
git checkout --theirs

Or
git rebase -s ours

How to fix this error: error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge:
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master

# Change the remote

git remote rm origin

git remote add 'the url'

git pull origin main

 

# Set the origin/main as the up stream

git branch -u origin/main main

 

# Push the branch wip to the remote origin

git push origin wip

Submodules
=========

g submodule add https://github.com/google/protobuf.git third_party/protobuf
g submodule update --init  # to clone all submodules

How to re-init submodules

emacs .git/config: delete all submodule related items

Then run: git submodule init

After git pull in the main repo, need to run the following commands:

git submodule sync --recursive

git submodule update --recursive

git diff shows no changes, but git status shows a list of modified files:

Open .git/config and make sure:

[core]

        repositoryformatversion = 0

        filemode = false

        bare = false

        logallrefupdates = true

        ignorecase = true

        autocrlf = false

        symlinks = false

To setup github ssh access

For error: ex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

 

I guess GFW make it.
By checking: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/troubleshooting-ssh/using-ssh-over-the-https-port
which I followed the ~/.ssh/config added the port 443.
and use command like: "proxychains -q git pull", it is working now.

Here is what is working now through https, and through proxy:

❯ proxychains -q ssh -T git@github.com
The authenticity of host '[ssh.github.com]:443 ([20.205.243.160]:443)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:+DiY3wvvV6TuJJhbpZisF/zLDA0zPMSvHdkr4UvCOqU.
This key is not known by any other names
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added '[ssh.github.com]:443' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
Hi LeisureLinux! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
catkin_init_workspace: initialize a catkin workspace
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make: build the empty workspace
After building the empty space, set the environment variables: echo “source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash” >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Create your own package
Switch to workspace src folder: cd ~/catkin_ws/src
Create the package: catkin_create_pkg [dependency 1] [dependency 2]
Example: catkin_create_pkg demo_pkg roscpp std_msgs actionlib actionlib_msgs
After creating the package, build the empty package using: ~/catkin_ws$ catkin_make
Start ROS
Run: $roscore

在 Ubuntu 下安装 Deepin-wine 环境后，QQ 界面的字体看着不太舒服，于是就找了些文章看看能不能改成微软雅黑，经过一番折腾后修改成功，主要步骤如下：

    在 /usr/share/fonts/ 目录下建立个文件夹用于存放 windows 的字体，例如：windows
    下载微软雅黑字体文件 msyh.ttc (https://github.com/owent-utils/font/blob/master/%E5%BE%AE%E8%BD%AF%E9%9B%85%E9%BB%91/MSYH.TTC)，并复制到这个目录
    运行 fc-cache 更新字体信息缓存
    打开注册表：WINEPREFIX=~/.deepinwine/Deepin-Wechat deepin-wine regedit
    找到键 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink
    修改里面的三个字段的数据，在前面加上 MSYH.TTC,Microsoft YaHei
