I tried upgrading pip when prompted to do so: sudo pip install –upgrade pip This worked, but removed the system install in /usr/bin/pip and replaced it with /usr/local/bin/pip – NOT GOOD! The solution is as follows:
|
|
/usr/local/bin/pip uninstall pip yum remove python27-pip yum install python27-pip |

First, get on the branch that you know already has the commits you are looking for:
|

git checkout theBranch-1234 |
Copy-and-paste the commit(s) you want:

Optionally, display the code changes for a visual confirmation:
|
|
git show {one or more commit ID's} |
Finally, extract the list of branches that contain the desired commits:
|
|
git branch --contains CommitID-A git branch --contains CommitID-B |
Example:
|
|
git log git branch --contains 097e1859f248a7aa5e148a2a946be3e360030095 git branch --contains 24339549f9f1920a33f721d3faa2538c8ba5d249 |

Recently, I wanted to see the “origin” of the git repository I was working in. The command is: git remote -v For example:
|
|
theUser@theHost$ git remote -v origin git@localhost:/volumes/data/git/thePlugin.git (fetch) origin git@localhost:/volumes/data/git/thePlugin.git (push) |
