git checkout -b B <sha1 id of the commit B> 
#-b creates new branch with B name at this commit
git rebase --no-ff HEAD~1

#sequence to merge an old commit back into head

git clean -f

reporting-pub tshutty$ git branch --list -a "*m*" --contains 85ce0f96b9cc3dd244ecd57ae99c6715d15e7009
#lists local and remote branches that start with m (includes the remote repo name) and contain this commit
#--no-contains is opposite
--merged gets branches that have been completely merged into this commit (or HEAD if none specified)

##pushing will send the branch you are on to the branch you specify in the remote, if it doesn't exit it will be created.

git branch <branch> -d 
#deletes branch

git branch -m <nameold> <namenew>
#renames branch

git diff
#shows unstaged changes
git diff --cached
#shows staged changes
git diff HEAD
#shows staged and unstaged changes

##squashing commits:
git reset --hard <commit id from before your changes>
git merge --squash HEAD@{1}
#there may be better ways:
git reset --soft HEAD~2 && git commit -m "message"
#combines last two commits

git cherry-pick <commitID>
#merges that commit into current branch

git checkout <commitID> -- file1/to/restore file2/to/restore
#restores specific files to commit

git diff branch_1..branch_2 <file>
#three dots for change in branch_2 from where it diverged from branch_1

git log -S "1.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
#finds when that was created/destroyed
