Pulling specific files from a commit using Git

Pulling specific files from a commit using Git

Posted by on Nov 1, 2011 in ColdFusion, Git | 1 comment

I ran into a situation today where I needed to grab a specific version of two files from one branch in our repository and merge it into another branch. Normally I would use cherry-pick for this sort of thing but when you are working with developers who arent used to the way of Git, that can be hard. Especially in our situation where most of them are used to Subversion so they make changes to many different files over the period of hours or worse yet, days before they commit their changes.

Hopefully by now you have had a chance to play around with Capistrano and had a chance to deploy one of your apps. If you have and your anything like me, Im sure you ran into a situation where you needed to have a bit more flexibility in your deployment.

I love developing in ColdFusion, but one of the reasons I spend time learning other languages/frameworks is so I can get a feel for what things others are doing that could help make our jobs a little easier. Lets face it, the ColdFusion community is a little slow to progress sometimes and there is alot of innovation happening in other communities.

Great Intro To Git

Posted by on Jun 3, 2009 in Development, Git | 4 comments

I have been asked by several folks lately in the ColdFusion community about Git. It seems that alot of the CF developers are so in-grained with SVN that they either wont consider Git or are afraid of it. Not sure which is the case. But I will say that Git has completely changed the way I look at source control. Ric Roberts has posted a really nice intro to Git that anyone interested in Git should have a look at.
