How to generate and apply patches with git?

It sometimes happen you need change code on a machine from which you cannot push to the repo. You’re ready to copy/paste what diff outputs to your local working copy.

You think there must be a better way to proceed and you’re right. It’s a simple 2 steps process:

1. Generate the patch:

git diff &gt; some-changes.patch

Ubuntu/Debian Offline Repository Creation Gist

When I googled how to create my own offline repository of packages for use in an offline Ubuntu/Debian machine, the results were disheartening and the steps to be taken scattered all over the place.

The files within this gist will allow you to:

Download specific apt-get packages... with dependencies included!
Create a Packages.gz file so that you can add the repository folder you create to the target machine's /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Before using

To remove a submodule you need to:

Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Default

Powerlevel10k

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

The only connection available to me right now is a limited 3g connection, which I try not to squander over huge images/media on the internet. My browser is chromium, on linux, and I tend to use Opera 11 (turbo mode) frequently as well.

Just as an experiment, I disabled images & javascript from my browser a few weeks back. What all have I got?

Faster pages (I use http://google.com/xhtml occasionally to search)
Broken websites (http://about.me/n3m0 which don't run on disabling javascript at all)
Broken navigation (http://parse.com due to images being used as links. And since chrome does not display <alt> tags properly, it breaks)
Reduced Functionality (Gmail refuses to load chat if images are disabled)

Other than the normal chrome content blocking, I also went ahead and installed ghostery addon. It blocks all advertising, and social media junk (no more sharing). However, it is only useful on the occasional sites I have enabled javascript on.

1. Clone your fork:

git clone [email protected]:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git

2. Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:

cd into/cloned/fork-repo
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
git fetch upstream
