A little lookup for commands I use frequently

1. Commit all edited files and add a message

   git commit -a -m “My commit”

2. Add all new files

   git add .

3. Perform a pull operation

   git pull REMOTENAME BRANCHNAME

4. Perform a push operation

   git push REMOTENAME BRANCHNAME

5. Prune all stale remote tracking branches

   git remote prune REMOTENAME

6. Create a branch

   git branch BRANCHNAME

7. View branches

   git branch

8. Checkout a different branch

   git checkout BRANCHNAME

9. Checkout a remote branch

   git checkout -b LOCALBRANCHNAME origin/REMOTEBRANCHNAME

10. Merge the changes made in another branch in to the current branch

    git merge BRANCHNAME

11. Delete a local branch

    git branch -d BRANCHNAME

12. Delete a remote branch

    git push origin :BRANCHNAME

13. Delete a remote branch (sexier syntax)

    git push origin –delete BRANCHNAME

14. Scrap uncommitted state and return the working tree to the last committed state

    git reset –hard HEAD

15. Delete the latest commit, and return to the one previous (one before HEAD)

    git reset –hard HEAD~1

16. Return a single file to it’s last committed state

    git checkout – FILENAME
    git checkout HEAD FILENAME
    Git log
    git log
    git log –pretty=oneline
    git log –pretty=short

17. Cherry pick commits and apply them to another branch (first grab the commit ID from the branch with said commit, then checkout the branch you wish to apply the commit to)

    git cherry-pick COMMIT-ID

18. Stash uncommitted changes

    git stash save “message”

19. Apply stashed changes somewhere

    git stash apply

20. Stop a file being tracked (but do not delete it from the working directory, add to .gitignore etc after this)

    git rm –cached
