• git add <filename> (ga): Add a file to the Staging Area

• git rm --cached <file>: Remove a new file from the Staging area
• git commit -m "My first commit": Create a commit with a message
• git commit -v -a (gca): What I use most. -v is verbose, shows the diff at bottom and more meaningful information. -a add all files that have been modified and deleted, but new files you have not told Git about are not affected.
• git help <command>: Open the manual for the respective command. USEFUL!
• git log (glg, glgg, glo, glog): Show all commits - history of the project
• git reset HEAD <filename> (grh): Remove an modified file from the Staging area
• git checkout <filename> (gco): Remove an modified file from the Staging area and undo its alterations
