git stash - allows you to switch branches without having to commit half done work. It doesn't delete it it just temporarily "stashes" the code away.

git stash list- show you a list of all the code that's been stashed

git stash apply - allows you to retrieve the previously stashed code. apply defaults to the latest stashed code, but you can specify the name of the stash you want to reapply. like so:

```
git stash apply stash@{2}
```

git shortlog - summarizes each commit msg, suitable for release anouncements. groups each commit by author and title

git commit --amend - allows you to amend most recent commit msg, but only if it hasn't been pushed to repository

git reset --hard - resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree since <commit> are discarded.

git reset --soft - does not touch the index file or the working tree at all 

git reset --hard HEAD~2 resets back the number of commits specified after HEAD~
