wincent.com: Pushing branches and tags with a single "git push" invocation → wincent.com

Normally pushing branches and tags is a two step process:

 $ git push
 $ git push --tags

A handy tip was just posted to the Git mailing list by Zoltán Füzesi:

I use .git/config to solve this:

[remote "origin"]
	url = ...
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	push = +refs/heads/*
	push = +refs/tags/*

With these lines added git push origin will upload all your branches and tags. If you want to upload only some of them, you can enumerate them.

Haven’t tried it myself yet, but it looks like it might be useful until some other way of pushing branches and tags at the same time is added to git push. On the other hand, I don’t mind typing:

$ git push && git push --tags

Explain Ruby → explainruby.net

Paste Ruby code or a URL to get Ruby syntax explained. Explain Ruby will not be able to explain what the code in question does, i.e. the original author’s intent, but it will help newcomers to Ruby to learn how to read code by teaching them programming constructs of the Ruby programming language.
