I'm guessing I need to remove the large file from the commit, but how do I do that?





Is this a rails project? Don't add your log/ directory to git. That shouldn't be versioned.

log/





I realize that now. Did not know that before.

To remove large files, GitHub suggests:


$ git rm --cached giant_file
# Stage our giant file for removal, but leave it on disk

git commit --amend -CHEAD
# Amend the previous commit with your change
# Simply making a new commit won't work, as you need
# to remove the file from the unpushed history as well

git push
# Push our rewritten, smaller commit



Or if you want more general information on how to work with large files on GitHub.



And next time add /log in your .gitignore


/log


.gitignore



You can revert git add before commit.



Check this question: How to undo 'git add' before commit?
It should work. And don't send big files to git, it's not worthy ;)



Also, exclude your logs, by adding git ignore on your logs path.



@Daniel



You can ignore that log(s) file from git repo using .gitignore file.
for that you have to add below line to your .gitignore file


.gitignore


.gitignore


/log



and try to commit again.
Hope this details help you to fix your issue.





I had already tried this and commited again but it did not work.

I faced the same issue recently, you can actually just filter the branch for specific file and remove it -


git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf path/to/your/file' HEAD

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
