Okay, I can't seem to figure git out.

< celticminstrel>
Two questions. 1) I seem to have gotten into vi. At least I think it's vi. How do I get out? 2) How do I tell git to use something other than vi for commit messages?
02:31
<@McMartin>
ESC will put you out of insert mode; the command :q! in command mode is "quit immediately"
02:31
<@McMartin>
If you're on windows, vi is all it ships with, so you're better off getting a quick vi tutorial instead >_>
02:31
< celticminstrel>
I'm not on Windows.
02:32
<@McMartin>
git ought to respect the $EDITOR variable.
02:32
< celticminstrel>
I'll try that then.
02:32
< celticminstrel>
As I recall, svn has its own variable, which is why I asked.
02:33
<@McMartin>
Yeah
02:33
<@McMartin>
Let me do a quick manual check here
02:33
<@McMartin>
Other things you can do are use -m a la SVN or use -F possibly also a la SVN but I've never used it there.
02:34
< celticminstrel>
Does :q! save?
02:34
<@McMartin>
No
02:34
<@McMartin>
If you want to save, it's :wq
02:34
< celticminstrel>
I assume I need to save for git to get the commit message.
02:34
<@McMartin>
Yes.
02:35
<@McMartin>
But if you don't save, the commit aborts.
02:35
<@McMartin>
(And "i" to enter insert mode, "a" to enter insert mode at the next character, and "o" to enter it at the next line)
02:35
< celticminstrel>
But I had already typed out the commit message.
02:35
<@McMartin>
(cursor navigation is done via nethack)
02:35
<@McMartin>
Oh, OK
02:35
<@McMartin>
Sorry about that =(
02:35
< celticminstrel>
'sokay.
02:35
<@McMartin>
I misunderstood
02:35
<@McMartin>
OK, git apparently checks GIT_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR, in order.
02:35
<@McMartin>
And if none are set it uses the OS default, which is *usually* a vi variant
02:36
<@McMartin>
Though it appears to be nano here.
02:38
< celticminstrel>
Okay, so does git commit upload? :|
02:38
<@McMartin>
No
02:38
<@McMartin>
Commit only commits to the local clone of the repo
02:38
<@McMartin>
To send it back to origin, you type "git push".
02:38
< celticminstrel>
Ah, is that how it works. Can I double-check my commit message first?
02:38
<@McMartin>
"git log"
02:38
<@McMartin>
Commits are actual commits
02:39
<@McMartin>
It's just that every user has their own repo
02:39
<@McMartin>
This part of DVCS I honestly am not expert with, so I designate one as the master repo and pretend everyone else is an SVN client
02:39
< celticminstrel>
Is it possible to change my commit message?
02:39
<@McMartin>
Hrm.
02:39
<@McMartin>
That's deeper magic than I have
02:39
<@McMartin>
I believe this somehow involves git reset.
02:40
<@McMartin>
I think it's possible, but offhand I don't know how
02:40
<@McMartin>
(And it may involve a rollback.)
02:41
<@McMartin>
Branch mechanics are totally beyond me in git.
02:42
< celticminstrel>
Do you know how to rollback?
02:42
<@McMartin>
Not offhand
02:42
<@McMartin>
I'm used to using git reset for descheduling a changed file pre-commit
02:43
<@McMartin>
But when looking up the env vars it mentioned that you could use it when finding mistakes post-commit too
02:43
<@McMartin>
It looks like git revert
02:43
< celticminstrel>
It's almost as if the manuals are written for someone who sort of knows how to use it but just needs a gentle reminder.
02:44
<@McMartin>
More or less
02:44
<@McMartin>
You realize this interacts oddly with man, right?
02:44
<@McMartin>
I'm following links from git-commit through git-reset to git-revert.
02:44
<@McMartin>
Each of these is a separate man page.
02:44
< celticminstrel>
I'm using git help <command>
02:45
<@McMartin>
Ah
02:45
<@McMartin>
I'm not sure if that's as thorough as the man pages.
02:45
<@McMartin>
Let's see...
02:45
<@McMartin>
Oh, it's the same thing
02:45
<@McMartin>
OK then.
02:45
< celticminstrel>
It seems to be usi-- yeah.

<@McMartin>
Heh. That works too~
02:52

Indeed it does.
