git --version
Create an alias (shortcut) for git status:
git config --global alias.st status
Help:
git help
Initialize Git:
git init
Get everything ready to commit:
git add .
Get custom file ready to commit:
git add index.html

git rm index.html
Update all changes:
git add -u
Remove file but do not track anymore:
git rm --cached index.html
Move or rename files:
git mv index.html dir/index_new.html
Undo modifications (restore files from latest commited version):
git checkout -- index.html
Restore file from a custom commit (in current branch):
git checkout 6eb715d -- index.html
Go back to commit:
git revert 073791e7dd71b90daa853b2c5acc2c925f02dbc6
Soft reset (move HEAD only; neither staging nor working dir is changed):
git reset --soft 073791e7dd71b90daa853b2c5acc2c925f02dbc6
Undo latest commit: git reset --soft HEAD~
Mixed reset (move HEAD and change staging to match repo; does not affect working dir):
git reset --mixed 073791e7dd71b90daa853b2c5acc2c925f02dbc6
Hard reset (move HEAD and change staging dir and working dir to match repo):
git reset --hard 073791e7dd71b90daa853b2c5acc2c925f02dbc6
Hard reset of a single file (@ is short for HEAD):
git checkout @ -- index.html

git branch --move branchname new_branchname
Show all completely merged branches with current branch:
git branch --merged
Delete merged branch (only possible if not HEAD):
git branch -d branchname or:
git branch --delete branchname
Delete not merged branch:
git branch -D branch_to_delete
True merge (fast forward):
git merge branchname
Merge to master (only if fast forward):
git merge --ff-only branchname
Merge to master (force a new commit):
git merge --no-ff branchname
Stop merge (in case of conflicts):
git merge --abort
Stop merge (in case of conflicts):
git reset --merge // prior to v1.7.4
Undo local merge that hasn't been pushed yet:
git reset --hard origin/master
Merge only one specific commit:
git cherry-pick 073791e7
Rebase:
git checkout branchname » git rebase master
or:
git merge master branchname
(The rebase moves all of the commits in master onto the tip of branchname.)
Cancel rebase:
git rebase --abort
Squash multiple commits into one:
git rebase -i HEAD~3 (source)
Squash-merge a feature branch (as one commit):
git merge --squash branchname (commit afterwards)
