Note that git will not ignore a file that was already tracked before a rule was added to .git/info/exclude (.gitignore) file...

git rm --cached myfile.cpp

Apply executed commit also into another branch

How to apply changes of a specific commit from one branch to another branch (assume, that git commit was applied to the master branch):

git checkout v1.5
git cherry-pick <sha1>

The first command changes the local copy to branch v1.5. In the second command, <sha1> is the hash identifier of the specific commit (master branch), whose changes are to be applied to the v1.5 branch too.

Change your local repository to another remote (ie. gitorious.org -> github.com)

To migrate your local repository to remote github repository (from gitorious) please use:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:fit-uifs/vtapi.git 

for access via SSH or

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/fit-uifs/vtapi.git 

for access via HTTPS.

Coding

Be careful: libpqtypes and libpq respectively, do not use malloc/free, but new/delete instead.

Notes:

• Use Valgrind ... except debian nowadays.
• NetBeans 6.9.1 is recomended.

Gengetopt - config file & arguments parser

apt-get install gengetopt

Autotools - building C/C++ libraries

For developers only: You can edit configure.ac, Makefile.am, src/Makefile.am, include/Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am and run autogen.sh then to build ./configure
