Show folder content: ls -la
Status - show current branch and modified files
git status [-s --short] or alias git st
Modify a specified commit
git rebase --interactive 'bbc643cd^'
Tools:
gitk - shows history
gitk --all - shows history for all branches
git gui
git mergetool optional -t kdiff3
Aliases:
lg # better 'log' show commits
logg # better 'log' show commits
st = status
stats
co = checkout
ci = commit
ciam # add + commit + message
cim # commit + message
amend # commit --amend --no-edit
br = branch
df = diff
dfs = diff --staged
dt = difftool
undo = reset --soft HEAD~1
stash-all = stash save --include-untracked
prune = fetch --prune #deletes any local branch which has been deleted from the remote
Stages all files:
git add -A
Commit changes:
git commit -m "Message"
Commit to most recent commit: git commit --amend -m "Message"
Pull: git pull for specific branch: git pull origin branchname
Push to default:
git push origin master
Change to branch:
git checkout branchname
Undo all changes (root directory):
git checkout -- .
Undo latest commit SOFT: git reset --soft HEAD~
Undo latest commit HARD: git reset --hard <COMMIT -ID> or git reset --hard HEAD~<n>
git reset HEAD~ this leaves your working tree (the state of your files on disk) unchanged but undoes the commit and leaves the changes you committed unstaged (so they'll appear as "Changes not staged for commit" in git status, and you'll need to add them again before committing). If you only want to add more changes to the previous commit, or change the commit message1, you could use git reset --soft HEAD~ instead, which is like git reset HEAD~ (where HEAD~ is the same as HEAD~1) but leaves your existing changes staged.
Add remote origin from GitHub project to existing local repository:
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/project.git git remote -v

Merge to master
git checkout master
git pull origin master
git merge my_feature_branch_name
git push origin master
Merge to master (only if fast forward):
git merge --ff-only my_feature_branch_name
Merge to master (force a new commit):
git merge --no-ff my_feature_branch_name
Merge to master (force a new commit):
git merge --no-ff --no-commit my_feature_branch_name
Stop merge (in case of conflicts):
git merge --abort
Initialize Git:
$ git init
Stages all files:
$ git add -A
Stages new and modified, without deleted:
$ git add .
Stages modified and deleted, without new:
$ git add -u
Stage file:
$ git add index.html
Undo all changes:
git checkout -- .
Undo modifications (restore files from latest commited version):
git checkout -- index.html
Commit changes:
git commit -m "Message"
Add and commit in one step:
git commit -am "Message"
Remove files from Git:
git rm index.html
Remove files from Git - those ignored
git rm -r --cached .
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
Restore file from a custom commit (in current branch):
git checkout 6eb715d -- index.html

Installation:
- Use GIT from the Windows Command Prompt
- Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings (core.autocrlf=true)
- Use MinTTY
See where Git is located:
which git
Get the version of Git:
git --version
$ git config --global user.email [email protected]
$ git config --global user.name my name kk
$ git config --global --add merge.tool kdiff3
$ git config --global --add mergetool.kdiff3.path "C:/Program Files/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe"
$ git config --global --add mergetool.kdiff3.trustExitCode false
$ git config --global --add diff.guitool kdiff3
$ git config --global --add difftool.kdiff3.path "C:/Program Files/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe"
$ git config --global --add difftool.kdiff3.trustExitCode false
$ git config --global --add difftool.prompt false
$ git config --global core.editor notepad2
$ git config --global status.showUntrackedFiles all
$ git config --global push.default tracking
Create an alias (shortcut) for git log advanced:
$ git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"
Set this configuration option for git push will by default push all branches that have the same name on the remote. To limit this behavior to just the current branch
$ git config --global push.default tracking
Create an alias (shortcut) for git status:
git config --global alias.st status
This will unstage all files you might have staged with git add:
git reset
This will revert all local uncommitted changes (should be executed in repo root):
git checkout .
Undo all changes: git checkout -- .
You can also revert uncommitted changes only to particular file or directory:
git checkout [some_dir|file.txt]
Yet another way to revert all uncommitted changes (longer to type, but works from any subdirectory):
git reset --hard HEAD
Undo latest commit SOFT: git reset --soft HEAD~
Undo latest commit HARD: git reset --hard <COMMIT -ID> or git reset --hard HEAD~<n>
git reset HEAD~ this leaves your working tree (the state of your files on disk) unchanged but undoes the commit and leaves the changes you committed unstaged (so they'll appear as "Changes not staged for commit" in git status, and you'll need to add them again before committing). If you only want to add more changes to the previous commit, or change the commit message1, you could use git reset --soft HEAD~ instead, which is like git reset HEAD~ (where HEAD~ is the same as HEAD~1) but leaves your existing changes staged.
This will remove all local untracked files, so only git tracked files remain:
git clean -fdx Warning: -x will also remove all ignored files!
To sum it up: executing commands below is basically equivalent to fresh git clone from original source (but it does not re-download anything, so is much faster):
git reset
git checkout .
git clean -fdx
Undo interactive by selecting hunks: git checkout -p <file|.>
y - discard this hunk from worktree
n - do not discard this hunk from worktree
q - quit; do not discard this hunk or any of the remaining ones
a - discard this hunk and all later hunks in the file
d - do not discard this hunk or any of the later hunks in the file
g - select a hunk to go to
/ - search for a hunk matching the given regex
j - leave this hunk undecided, see next undecided hunk
J - leave this hunk undecided, see next hunk
k - leave this hunk undecided, see previous undecided hunk
K - leave this hunk undecided, see previous hunk
s - split the current hunk into smaller hunks
e - manually edit the current hunk
? - print help
Go back to commit:
git revert 073791e7dd71b90daa853b2c5acc2c925f02dbc6

git reset --soft 073791e7dd71b90daa853b2c5acc2c925f02dbc6

Mixed reset (move HEAD and change staging to match repo; does not affect working dir):

Hard reset (move HEAD and change staging dir and working dir to match repo):
