Changing Git history¶

Check Changes from Last Commit¶

git diff
git add -p

git rm
git mv

git checkout [-p] <file>
git restore <file>

git reset [-p]
git restore --staged <file>

git stash
git stash apply
git checkout -b new_branch HEAD~2

git reset --hard HEAD~3  # Go back in time, throwing away changes
git reset --soft HEAD~3  # Set HEAD to point to an earlier commit
                    more ...
                

Basic Commands¶

echo
cat
ls [-la]  # list files in the present directory
chmod [+x] file
mkdir  # make new directories
cd  # change the directory
pwd  # present working directory
cp path_from path_to  # copy
mv path_from path_to
rm path  # delect files
rmdir  # delete empty directories
touch file_name # create empty file
                    more ...
                

Git can be seen as taking a series of snapshots of important stages of a project. If we want Git to take a snapshot of the current status of the project, we make a commit. by recording the changes made in each commit. Changes can be untracked, staged (cached) or commited. If we make a change to a file in the project, it will first appear as untracked. Untracked changes do not make any difference to Git. If we think the change is meanful and plan to save it, we need to staged it to tell Git to include it in the next commit. After we stage all the changes we want to include in this commit, we commit the staged changes and Git will save the changes.

Update: This solution does not work with nbconvert >= 6. Tested on nbconvert == 5.6.1.

Jupyter-Pelican is a plugin that helps Pelican to generate static contents from Jupyter notebook. I like it because it allows the user to put the metadata in the first cell of the notebook. No need to create a separate file for the metadata or edit the metadata of the notebook. However, this option will encounter a permission denied error on Windows OS because Windows does not allow (at least easily) openning a temporary file for a second time, according to the documentation of tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile more ...
