改变一个Git远程头指向除了主人之外的东西 [英] Change a Git remote HEAD to point to something besides master

问题描述

我如何设置一个Git remote的HEAD引用来指向除master之外的其他东西？

我的项目有一个不使用master分支的策略所有分支机构都要有有意义的名称）。此外，规范主存储库只能通过ssh：//访问，无需shell访问（如GitHub或Unfuddle）。

我的问题是远程存储库仍然存在HEAD引用refs / heads / master，但我需要它指向不同的分支。这造成了两个问题：

1. 克隆回购时，出现这种情况，

   
   

   警告：远程HEAD引用不存在的ref，无法结帐。
   

   不方便。
   

2. 基于网页的代码浏览器依赖HEAD作为浏览树的基础。然后，我需要HEAD指向一个有效的分支。

几乎是一年前的 GitHub上的相同问题。




这个想法是重命名master分支：



  git branch -m master开发
 git分支-m已发布master 
 git push -f原始大师
  








让主人拥有你想要人们使用的东西，并在分支中做所有其他工作。


（a git-symbolic-ref HEAD refs / head / published 不会传播到远程回购）



这类似于如何删除Git中的origin / master 。

正如这个帖子 :(强调我的）




git clone 只会创建一个本地分支。

要做到这一点，它查看远程仓库的 HEAD ref ，并创建一个与它所引用的远程分支名称相同的本地分支。





因此，为了包装它，你有回购A并克隆它：






• HEAD 引用 refs / heads / master 并且存在
  
  - >您将获得一个名为master的本地分支， from origin / master




HEAD引用 refs / heads / anotherBranch 并且存在

- >您获取名为 anotherBranch的本地分支，从 origin / anotherBranch

开始


• HEAD参考 refs / heads / master 并且不存在
  
  - >git clone抱怨








不确定是否有任何方法可以直接修改 HEAD 参考资料库。

（这是你问题的所有观点，我知道;））

也许唯一的方法是为穷人发布，你在哪里：

  $ git-symbolic-ref HEAD refs / head / published 
 $ git-update-server-info 
 $ rsync  - az .git / * server：/local_path_to/git/myRepo.git/ 
  

但是，这涉及到对服务器的写入访问权限，这并不总是可能的。

正如我在 Git：在裸仓库中更改Active Branch的正确方法？ ， git remote set-head 不会改变远程仓库中的任何东西。





它只会改变本地存储在本地仓库中的远程追踪分支，位于 remotes / < name> / HEAD 。




How do I set a Git remote's HEAD reference to point to something besides "master"?

My project has a policy not to use a "master" branch (all branches are to have meaningful names). Furthermore, the canonical master repository is only accessible via ssh://, with no shell access (like GitHub or Unfuddle).

My problem is that the remote repository still has a HEAD reference to refs/heads/master, but I need it to point to a different branch. This is causing two problems:

1. When cloning the repo, there this,

   warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

   That's confusing and inconvenient.

2. The web-based code browser depends on HEAD as a basis for browsing the tree. I need HEAD to point to a valid branch, then.

解决方案

There was almost the same question on GitHub a year ago.

The idea was to rename the master branch:

git branch -m master development
git branch -m published master
git push -f origin master 

Making master have what you want people to use, and do all other work in branches.

(a "git-symbolic-ref HEAD refs/head/published" would not be propagated to the remote repo)

This is similar to "How do I delete origin/master in Git".

As said in this thread: (emphasis mine)

"git clone" creates only a single local branch.
To do that, it looks at the HEAD ref of the remote repo, and creates a local branch with the same name as the remote branch referenced by it.

So to wrap that up, you have repo A and clone it:

• HEAD references refs/heads/master and that exists
  -> you get a local branch called master, starting from origin/master

• HEAD references refs/heads/anotherBranch and that exists
  -> you get a local branch called anotherBranch, starting from origin/anotherBranch

• HEAD references refs/heads/master and that doesn't exist
  -> "git clone" complains

Not sure if there's any way to directly modify the HEAD ref in a repo.

(which is the all point of your question, I know ;) )

---

Maybe the only way would be a "publication for the poor", where you:

 $ git-symbolic-ref HEAD refs/head/published
 $ git-update-server-info
 $ rsync -az .git/* server:/local_path_to/git/myRepo.git/

But that would involve write access to the server, which is not always possible.

---

As I explain in "Git: Correct way to change Active Branch in a bare repository?", git remote set-head wouldn't change anything on the remote repo.

It would only change the remote tracking branch stored locally in your local repo, in remotes/<name>/HEAD.
