I've been trying to use git for awhile now, (and I've read a lot of
documentation, though maybe my
comprehension has not been high enough) but there are several
operations which I
can't figure out:
1) After cloning a repository from work at home, making some changes
and committing them,
I use "git push" to push them back to the work repository. The
changes seem to make it to the
work repository (I see the commit message in git log), but I can't
figure out how to get the
changes into the working set at work. (evidently not merge, checkout
or reset -- seems like it
should be merge, but)
2) I can't figure out how to get back the latest (or any other)
version of a file I've modified (or deleted)
in the working set. (Well, I suppose I could checkout the whole tree
somewhere else and copy the
relevant file, but I'm hoping there's something simpler).
3) Similarly, I can't use the little context diffs I can see in git-
gui -- I need to see side by side comparisons;
I've become accustomed to tkdiff. It seems like git mergetool knows
how to do that in some restricted
circumstances, but I want to do it outside the context of a merge.
Thanks,
