How do you delete untracked local files from your current branch?

Change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository

I have a repo (origin) on a USB key that I cloned on my hard drive (local). I moved "origin" to a NAS and successfully tested cloning it from here.

I would like to know if I can change the URI of "origin" in the settings of "local" so it will now pull from the NAS, and not from the USB key.

For now, I can see two solutions:

• push everything to the usb-orign, and copy it to the NAS again (implies a lot of work due to new commits to nas-origin);

• add a new remote to "local" and delete the old one (I fear I'll break my history).

Checkout remote Git branch

I am trying to checkout a remote branch:

Somebody pushed a branch called test with git push origin test to a shared repository. I can see the branch with git branch -r. But how can I get this branch?

• git checkout test does nothing

• git checkout origin/test does something, but git branch says * (no branch). I am on no branch?

Clone all remote branches with Git?

I have a master and a development branch, both pushed to GitHub. I've cloned, pulled, and fetched, but I remain unable to get anything other than the master branch back.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I have read the manual and I'm getting no joy at all.

Remove a file from a Git repository without deleting it from the local filesystem

My initial commit contained some log files. I've added *log to my .gitignore, and now I want to remove the log files from my repository.

git rm mylogfile.log

will remove a file from the repository, but will also remove it from the local file system.

How can I remove this file from the repo without deleting my local copy of the file?

Reset or revert a specific file to a specific revision using Git?

I have made some changes to a file which has been committed a few times as part of a group of files, but now want to reset/revert the changes on it back to a previous version.

I have done a git log along with a git diff to find the revision I need, but just have no idea how to get the file back to its former state in the past.
