GIT Cheatsheet

1. 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

1. 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

1. Cloning a Remote Repository

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

   $ git remote -v

   $ git branch -a

1. 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>

Remove files from repository keep local

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

List files in repository

       git ls-files

Revert to previous version (pre commit)

       git checkout <filename>
       git status
       git diff

Fix commit message

       git commit --ammend -m "<message>"

Add a file as a part of previous commit

       git commit --ammend

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

Remove Untracked Directories and Files

       git clean -df
       git status
