Git cheat list

name of the current banch and nothing else (for automation)
```
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
```
all commits that your branch have that are not yet in master
```
git log master..<HERE_COMES_YOUR_BRANCH_NAME>
```

setting up a character used for comments

git config core.commentchar <HERE_COMES_YOUR_COMMENT_CHAR>

fixing fatal: Could not parse object after unsuccessful revert
```
git revert --quit
```
view diff with inline changes
```
git diff --word-diff=plain master
```

view quick stat of a diff

git diff --shortstat master
git diff --numstat master
git diff --dirstat master

undo last just made commit
```
git reset HEAD~
```

list last 20 hashes in reverse

git log --format="%p..%h %cd %<(17)%an %s" --date=format:"%a %m/%d %H:%M" --reverse -n 20

list commits between dates

git log --format="%p..%h %cd %<(17)%an %s" --date=format:"%a %m/%d %H:%M" --reverse --after=2016-11-09T00:00:00-05:00 --before=2016-11-10T00:00:00-05:00

try a new output for diffing

git diff --compaction-heuristic ...
          --color-words ...

enable more thorough comparison

git config --global diff.algorithm patience

restoring a file from a certain commit relative to the latest
```
git checkout HEAD~<NUMBER> -- <RELATIVE_PATH_TO_FILE>
```
restoring a file from a certain commit relative to the given commit
```
git checkout <COMMIT_HASH>~<NUMBER> -- <RELATIVE_PATH_TO_FILE>
```

restoring a file from a certain commit

git checkout <COMMIT_HASH> -- <RELATIVE_PATH_TO_FILE>

creating a diff file from unstaged changes for a specific folder
```
git diff -- <RELATIVE_PATH_TO_FOLDER> changes.diff
```
applying a diff file
- go to the root directory of your repository
- run:
```
git apply changes.diff
```
show differences between last commit and currrent changes:
```
git difftool -d
```
referring to:
- last commits ... HEAD~1 ...
- last 3 commits ... HEAD~3 ...

show the history of changes of a file

git log -p -- ./Scripts/Libs/select2.js

ignoring whitespaces

git rebase --ignore-whitespace <BRANCH_NAME>

pulling for fast-forward only (eliminating a chance for unintended merging)
```
git pull --ff-only
```
list of all tags
```
git fetch
git tag -l
```

archive a branch using tags

git tag <TAG_NAME> <BRANCH_NAME>
git push origin --tags

you can delete your branch now

get a tagged branch

git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME> <TAG_NAME>

list of all branches that haven't been merged to master
```
git branch --no-merge master
```
enable more elaborate diff algorithm by default
```
git config --global diff.algorithm histogram
```
list of all developers
```
git shortlog -s -n -e
```

display graph of branches

git log --decorate --graph --all --date=relative

git log --decorate --graph --all --oneline

remembering the password
```
git config --global credential.helper store
git fetch
```
the first command tells git to remember the credentials that you are going to provide for the second command
path to the global config
```
C:\Users\Bykov\.gitconfig
```

example of a global config

[user]
    email = *****
    name = Aleksey Bykov
    password = *****
[merge]
    tool = p4merge
[mergetool "p4merge"]
    cmd = p4merge.exe \"$BASE\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" \"$MERGED\"
    path = \"C:/Program Files/Perforce\"
    trustExitCode = false
[push]
    default = simple
[diff]
    tool = meld
    compactionHeuristic = true
[difftool "p4merge"]
    cmd = p4merge.exe \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
    path = C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exe
[difftool "meld"]
    cmd = \"C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
    path = C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe

viewing differences between current and other branch
```
git difftool -d BRANCH_NAME
```
viewing differences between current and stash
```
git difftool -d stash
```
viewing differences between several commits in a diff tool
```
git difftool -d HEAD@{2}...HEAD@{0}
```
view all global settings
```
git config --global -l
```

delete tag

git tag -d my-tag
git push origin :refs/tags/my-tag

pushing tags
```
git push --tags
```
checking the history of a file or a folder
```
git log -- <FILE_OR_FOLDER>
```
disabling the scroller
```
git --no-pager <...>
```

who pushed last which branch

git for-each-ref --format="%(committerdate) %09 %(refname) %09 %(authorname)"

deleting remote branch
```
git push origin :<BRANCH_NAME>
```

deleting remote branch localy

git branch -r -D <BRANCH_NAME>

or to sync with the remote

git fetch --all --prune

deleting local branch
```
git branch -d <BRANCH_NAME>
```
list actual remote branchs
```
git ls-remote --heads origin
```
list all remote (fetched) branches
```
git branch -r
```
