SourceTree and GitHub Leader needed

[♥altoid]

@@altoid  Steve try this...

 

 

Tried it and how about that.  Yet another technique to help out.  An with a little fiddling found I could directly push that new branch into my fork on github.

 

Thanks for sharing Dan

Glad I could be of some help....if it weren't for you and John I might have given up on Github a long time ago.  It is fantastic when you figure it out but the learning curve is steep.

 

I guess the next thing I'd like to do is to put together a little step by step tutorial on how to keep your shop up-to-date using Github and SourceTree.   That seems to be the way forward so the easier we can make that the better.

I was just doing this and thought it worth sharing in case you've not come across it:
 
Displaying the change history for a file on github:

http://github.com/[username]/[reponame]/commits/[branchname]/[path/to/file]

eg: https://github.com/gburton/Responsive-osCommerce/commits/master/install/oscommerce.sql

https://github.com/gburton/Responsive-osCommerce/commits/master/install/oscommerce.sql

@@BrockleyJohn  John....I thought there was a history button?  I'm off to look.

@@BrockleyJohn  There is a button...somewhat hidden but I think it takes you to the same place.

 

Select View...

 

 

Then History.

yes, right next to 'blame', a view which combines the file changes with the commits (handy if you want to know why and when a line of code changed), url of the format

http://github.com/[username]/[reponame]/blame/[branchname]/[path/to/file]

My point (also somewhat hidden) was that it's easy enough that you can just type it in and go straight there. If I have to navigate through 3 or 4 github pages to get to something, there's no way I can remember why I wanted it by the time I get there!

I definitely can relate to that. (w00t)
