git-diff with a remote repository

Hi,

Yesterday I learned how to do git-diff with a non local repository. Something cvs or svn does by default(for it’s their nature). Anyway, here is how you do it

Create a local reference to the remote repository as

$ git-remote add -t master -m master pivot [email protected]:./my-project

This will create a local reference named pivot’, to a remote branch named master’ under the repository `[email protected]:./my-project’. You can see this local reference using

$ git-branch -r $ git-remote

And now do the diff like you would do with any other local branch

$ git-diff pivot

This also helps to git-pull or git-push changes to a remote repository. Just say

$ git-pull pivot $ git-push pivot

from your working branch.

…enjoy! :)
