How to delete a remote git tag

I'm always forgetting this. So decided to put it here for someone's benefit.

I have the git tag added by command:

git tag -a 1.2.0 -m "1.2.0"

this means my tags tree will be updated with the tag 1.2.0 and message 1.2.0
Usually it marks the version of the build/release.

I now push a tag to origin by command:

git push origin --tags

It is possible to see it at my repository github tagged.

Time now to delete a tag.
It can be done by command:

git tag -d 1.2.0

This will remove a local tag 1.2.0. Leaving origin intact. Pushing tags to origin does not give anything.
To remove a remote tag now it is required to execute command:

git push origin :refs/tags/1.2.0

It will remove tag 1.2.0 at origin. This is the only way how to move tags to another commits.

Pretty git Log

SO you dislike git log output in console like me and do not use it... Because it looks like so: How about this one? It's quite easy... Just type: git log - - graph - - pretty = format : '%Cred%h%Creset -%C ( yellow ) %d%Creset %s %Cgreen ( %cr) %C ( bold blue ) <%an>%Creset' - - abbrev - commit - - It may be hard to enter such an easy command every time. Let's make an alias instead... Copypaste this to your terminal: git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --" And use simple command to see this pretty log instead: git lg Now in case you want to see lines that changed use: git lg - p In order for this command to work remove the -- from the end of the alias. May the code be with you! NOTE: this article is a rewritten copy of http://coderwall.com/p/euwpig?i=3&p=1&t=git and have b...

Django: Resetting Passwords (with internal tools)

I have had a task recently. It was about adding a forms/mechanism for resetting a password in our Django based project. We have had our own registration system ongoing... It's a corporate sector project. So you can not go and register yourself. Admins (probably via LDAP sync) will register your email/login in system. So you have to go there and only set yourself a password. For security reasons you can not register. One word. First I've tried to find standart decision. From reviewed by me were: django-registration and django password-reset . These are nice tools to install and give it a go. But I've needed a more complex decision. And the idea was that own bicycle is always better. So I've thought of django admin and that it has all the things you need to do this yourself in no time. (Actually it's django.contrib.auth part of django, but used out of the box in Admin UI) You can find views you need for this in there. they are: password_reset password_reset_...
