How to push to origin but a different branch using Git
Answer:
Assume you normally push your local changes to the remote's master branch, but what if you want to push the changes into another branch (e.g. testing)?
You can easily do this by using the command:
# git push origin master:testing
How do I make git ignore mode changes
Answer:
By default, if you have changed the file permission, git will also count the changes in file mode , e.g.
# git diff TEST.txt
diff --git a/TEST.txt b/TEST.txt
old mode 100644
new mode 100755To ignore, simply type
# git config core.filemode false

Answer:
To remove newly added files or directories under a Git repository (but un-staged yet), do:

Check if the files/directories are really okay to remove. Then, execute the command again without the '-n'
# git clean -fd
