Repo template

I wanna make a theme notetheme2 based on dinhanhthi.com.

  1. Make dinhanhthi.com be a template (Go to Settings)
  2. Create a new repo based on this template.
  3. Create a new branch notetheme2 on dinhanhthi.com. Make changes on this branch.
  4. Everything we have a “theme change” on dinhanhthi.com/master, merge it to branch dinhanhthi.com/notetheme2.
  5. If there are files (only for files) in dinhanhthi.com/notetheme2 you wanna keep, add below line to .gitattributes (under branch dinhanhthi.com/notetheme2) before performing the merge,
    # add line to .gitattributes
    echo 'file_name.txt merge=ours' >> .gitattributes
    # on windows, remove `''`
    
  6. If there are folders (or files) in dinhanhthi.com/notetheme2 you don’t wanna keep (from /master), just delete them and make a new commit. From this time, later merges will ignore them.
  7. If there are folders in /notethem2 you wanna keep the current state (instead of merging from master), create a script reset_folders.sh
    #!/bin/sh
    # used for branch notetheme2 only
    echo 'Reset some only-this-branch folders after merging.'
    git reset folder_1 folder_2
    git checkout .
    git add .
    git commit -m "update from master"
    

    Each time you run the merge, run

    git merge master && sh reset_folders.sh
    
  8. Update changes from dinhanhthi.com/notetheme2 to repo notetheme2[ref] .
    # add dinhanhthi.com as a remote
    git remote add template [URL of the template repo]
    
    # update the changes
    git fetch --all
    
    # update from template's branch
    git merge template/notetheme2
    
  9. If there is an error fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories, try to add --allow-unrelated-histories. There must be conflict.
    # keep remotes
    git merge -X theirs template/notetheme2 --allow-unrelated-histories
    # keep local
    git merge -X ours template/notetheme2 --allow-unrelated-histories
