Using git as a versioning system is great, but sometimes you might get some cryptic error messages.
To help you on debugging put git into verbose mode directly in your command line, and only for each command you need. Here's how:


$ GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git push

It might happen that you have so may repositories on your local machine at once that it could get hard to remember which is the original remote repository or branch. The command in git to find this out would be:

git remote show origin

Find out Linux distro and version

version

If you need to find out which "flavour" (or distro) Linux you are using just type the following command at the prompt:


[definenull@hm1446 ~]$ cat /etc/*-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)

This might not work on all distros, so a more general approach would be running the command:


[definenull@hm1446 ~]$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer
Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
