Developer Cheat Sheets

This are my cheat sheets that I have compiled over the years. Tired of searching Google for the same things, I started adding the information here. As time went on, this list has grown. I use this almost everyday and this Gist is the first bookmark on my list for quick and easy access.

I recommend that you compile your own list of cheat sheets as typing out the commands has been super helpful in allowing me to retain the information longer.

NOTE: I have this page as my first bookmark in my address bar so that I am able to easily come back here. I edit this page often and when I find gems of knowledge, I will often place them in here.

Git

Subtree Example

Add sub-project as remote

git remote add -f RemoteName RemoteUrl

Run git subtree command

git subtree add --prefix Path/To/Put/Code NameOfRemote master --squash

Pull subtree as needed

git fetch NameOfRemote master
git subtree pull --prefix Path/To/Put/Code NameOfRemote master --squash

Reference

Create a branch without a parent

Very useful when you are updating a project that you are rewriting. For example, say you are using semantic versioning and are wanting to start a new major version.

git checkout --orphan BRANCH

Delete All Branches that have been merged

Great for cleaning up local branches that aren't being used any more.

git checkout master
git branch --merged | grep -v "\*" | xargs -n 1 git branch -d

Ignore changes to a file that is being tracked

Ignore

git update-index --assume-unchanged [directory|file]

Unignore

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged [directory|file]

How to ignore dirty submodules

Edit your .git/config and add ignore = dirty.

[submodule "path/to/submodule"]
    path = path/to/submodule
    url = git://github.com/username/repo.git
    ignore = dirty

Clone a repo and give name other than origin

git clone -o upstream https://repo.git

Ignore Files for Repository without using .gitignore

Add the file .git/info/exclude and fill it with the contents you want to ignore. This will ONLY apply to the repository and will not be tracked by git.

Squash Commits

git log

Count the number of commits that you have made, let's say the previous 5 are your commits.

git rebase -i HEAD~5

The first commit leave as pick the rest will need to be changed to squash. After that you will be able to leave a new commit message or just leave as is to keep the commit messages from all previous commits.

Search for a specific line of code/file in the history

git log -S[search term]

Example:

git log -SThatOneFile.php

Copy file from one branch to current branch

Copy a file from branch and put into staging.

git checkout BRANCH path/to/file.ext

# Real Life Examples
git checkout origin/featureBranch web/js/random.js
# Pulls into your current branch web/js/random.js from
# origin/featureBranch

Git Grepping for fun and profit!

# Basic grep (case sensitive)
$ git grep 'search term'

# Case Insensitive search
$ git grep -i 'search term'

# Search within a directory
$ git grep 'search term' src/

# Search only files with `php` extension
$ git grep 'search term' -- '*.php'

# Grep in the 'src/` directory, only yml files
$ git grep 'search term' -- 'src/**.yml'

gpg-Cheat-Sheet.md

GnuPG

Listing Key Pairs

gpg --list-keys

For listing keys with the fingerprint, run

gpg --fingerprint

Generate New Key Pair

gpg --gen-key

Encrypt a message on command line

echo "Put message here" | gpg --armor --encrypt --recipient Joshua > FILE.gpg

This will put the encrypted text into FILE.gpg which you can send to someone or keep for later use. For decrypting the message, see the next section.

Decrypt a message from the command line

cat FILE.gpg | gpg

Displays the decrypted text on the command line.

Only display user X's key information

gpg --fingerprint Joshua

Signing Messages

echo "This is a top secret message" | gpg --clearsign

Signing Text Files

gpg --clearsign example.txt

This will create example.txt.asc file.

Verify Signatures

gpg --verifiy example.txt.asc

Useful key remaps

These need to be placed in your muttrc file. I use vim and so I want to use some of the same commands to manage my mail.

# Does not replace and currently mapped keys and acts like the vim command gg and takes
# you to the top of the page
bind index gg first-entry

# Replaces the retrieval of mail from a POP server. This will take you to the bottom of
# the page, just like it does in vim
bind index G last-entry

Flags

When viewing messages in the index menu, you will see various flags such as N which mean the messages is new and D which means that the message is to be deleted. This is a short list of those flags.
