-Git and GitHub tips
----------------------
-
-- For resolving merge/rebase conflicts, it can be useful to enable diff3 style using
- `git config merge.conflictstyle diff3`. Instead of
-
- <<<
- yours
- ===
- theirs
- >>>
-
- you will see
-
- <<<
- yours
- |||
- original
- ===
- theirs
- >>>
-
- This may make it much clearer what caused the conflict. In this style, you can often just look
- at what changed between *original* and *theirs*, and mechanically apply that to *yours* (or the other way around).
-
-- When reviewing patches which change indentation in C++ files, use `git diff -w` and `git show -w`. This makes
- the diff algorithm ignore whitespace changes. This feature is also available on github.com, by adding `?w=1`
- at the end of any URL which shows a diff.
-
-- When reviewing patches that change symbol names in many places, use `git diff --word-diff`. This will instead
- of showing the patch as deleted/added *lines*, show deleted/added *words*.
-
-- When reviewing patches that move code around, try using
- `git diff --patience commit~:old/file.cpp commit:new/file/name.cpp`, and ignoring everything except the
- moved body of code which should show up as neither `+` or `-` lines. In case it was not a pure move, this may
- even work when combined with the `-w` or `--word-diff` options described above.
-
-- When looking at other's pull requests, it may make sense to add the following section to your `.git/config`
- file:
-
- [remote "upstream-pull"]
- fetch = +refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/upstream-pull/*
- url = git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.git
-
- This will add an `upstream-pull` remote to your git repository, which can be fetched using `git fetch --all`
- or `git fetch upstream-pull`. Afterwards, you can use `upstream-pull/NUMBER/head` in arguments to `git show`,
- `git checkout` and anywhere a commit id would be acceptable to see the changes from pull request NUMBER.
