    <p>I want to store my local modifications to JBoss config in git. For this, I have set up the following structure:</p> <pre><code>lrwxrwxrwx 1 jboss jboss 19 Jan 24 11:53 current -&gt; jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b drwxr-xr-x 11 jboss jboss 4096 Jan 24 12:13 jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b -rw-r--r-- 1 jboss jboss 108211143 Jan 23 16:02 jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b.tar.gz drwxr-xr-x 6 jboss jboss 4096 Jan 24 11:36 local </code></pre> <p><code>local</code> is the git repository which shall be the "origin". The idea is that I want to be able to easily update my JBoss distribution once an update is available. I want to store all local modifications to the distributed JBoss package in git.</p> <p>So, currently I do this:</p> <pre><code>jboss@tpl0:~/jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/jboss/jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b/.git/ jboss@tpl0:~/jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b$ git remote add origin ../local/ jboss@tpl0:~/jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b$ git pull origin master From ../local * branch master -&gt; FETCH_HEAD </code></pre> <p>So far so good, all my local modifications are there where I want them.</p> <p>However, once I have local modifications and want to bush them back to the <code>local</code> repository, I get an error:</p> <pre><code>jboss@tpl0:~/jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b$ vim standalone/configuration/standalone.xml jboss@tpl0:~/jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b$ git commit -a -m "renamed database to project2_core, to distinguish from other projects" [master 3e54f34] renamed database to project2_core, to distinguish from other projects Committer: jboss &lt;jboss@tpl0.(none)&gt; 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) jboss@tpl0:~/jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b$ git push origin master Counting objects: 9, done. Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done. Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 447 bytes, done. Total 5 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (5/5), done. remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository remote: error: is denied, because it will make the index and work tree inconsistent remote: error: with what you pushed, and will require 'git reset --hard' to match remote: error: the work tree to HEAD. remote: error: remote: error: You can set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable t remote: error: 'ignore' or 'warn' in the remote repository to allow pushing int remote: error: its current branch; however, this is not recommended unless you remote: error: arranged to update its work tree to match what you pushed in som remote: error: other way. remote: error: remote: error: To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, se remote: error: 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to 'refuse'. To ../local/ ! [remote rejected] master -&gt; master (branch is currently checked out) error: failed to push some refs to '../local/' </code></pre> <p>What can I do about this? Any help is greatly appreciated!</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Here's what I did, which solved the problem:</p> <pre><code>cd ~/current git init vim .gitignore # set up a basic .gitignore file git add .gitignore git commit -a -m "initial commit" cd ~/local git clone ~/current git branch -m master current # rename master branch to 'current' git branch repo git checkout repo </code></pre> <p>Now, the branch <code>current</code> in directory <code>~/local</code> is always up-to-date, but it's not cheked out, so that i can push into it.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
