GIT Cheatsheet

• Initial setup git Global Configuration Variables

  These configuration variables are stored in ~/.gitconfig

  $ git config --global user.name "<user>"

  $ git config --global user.email "<email>"

  $ git config --list

• Initialize a new git Repository

  $ cd into directory to be added to the repository

  $ git init

  $ git add -A

  $ git commit -m "Repository Initialization"

  $ git remote add origin ssh:<url>

  $ git push origin master

• Cloning a Remote Repository

  $ git clone ssh:<url> <src/.>

  $ git remote -v

  $ git branch -a

• Creating Branches

  $ git branch <branch name>

  $ git checkout <branch name>

  $ git branch

Merging Branches

       git checkout master
       git pull origin master
       git branch --merged
       git merge <branch>
       git push origin master

Deleting a Branch

       git branch --merged
       git branch -d <branch to delete>
       git branch -a
       git push origin --delete <branch to delete>

Update a file

       git add <file>
       git commit -m "Description of changes"
       git push

Commiting & Pushing Changes

       git diff
       git status
       git add -A
       git commit -m "<message>"
       git pull origin <branch>
       git push origin <branch>

Move commits to another branch

       Get Hash
               git log

       git checkout <branch>
       git cherry-pick <hash>

       Remove the commit from the original branch (soft reset), removing commits but keeping staging directory in branch
               git checkout <original branch>
               git log
               git reset --soft <hash of correct commit>
               git status

       Remove the commit from the original branch (mixed reset), removing commits and files in staging directory in branch
               git checkout <original branch>
               git reset <hash>
               git status

       Remove the commit from the original branch (hard reset), removing commits and tracked files entirely in branch
               git checkout <original branch>
               git reset --hard <hash>
               git status

       git clean -df
