Git cheatsheet
This cheat sheet summarizes commonly used Git command line instructions for quick reference.

# Getting started
_ Create a Repository _ Make a change _ Configuration

Create a new local repository Show modified files in working directory, staged Set the name that will be attached to your
for your next commit commits and tags
$ git init [project name]
$ git status $ git config --global [Link] "name"

Clone a repository
Stages the file, ready for commit Set an email address that will be attached to your
$ git clone git_url commits and tags
$ git add [file]
$ git config --global [Link] "email"
Clone a repository into a specified directory
Stage all changed files, ready for commit
$ git clone git_url my_directory Enable some colorization of Git output
$ git add .
$ git config --global [Link] auto

Commit all staged files to versioned history

Edit the global configuration file in a text editor
$ git commit -m "commit message"
$ git config --global --edit

Commit all your tracked files to versioned history

_ Working with Branches _ Observe your Repository

$ git commit -am "commit message"
List all local branches Show the commit history for the currently active
Unstages file, keeping the file changes branch
$ git branch
$ git reset [file] $ git log

List all branches, local and remote

Revert everything to the last commit Show the commits on branchA that are not on
$ git branch -av branchB

$ git reset --hard

$ git log branchB..branchA
Switch to a branch, my_branch, and update
working directory Diff of what is changed but not staged
Show the commits that changed file, even across
$ git checkout my_branch renames
$ git diff

$ git log --follow [file]

Create a new branch called new_branch Diff of what is staged but not yet commited

$ git branch new_branch Show the diff of what is in branchA that is not in
$ git diff --staged
branchB

Delete the branch called my_branch Apply any commits of current branch ahead of $ git diff branchB...branchA
specified one
$ git branch -d my_branch
Show any object in Git in human-readable format
$ git rebase [branch]
Merge branchA into branchB
$ git show [SHA]

$ git checkout branchB

$ git merge branchA

Tag the current commit

$ git tag my_tag

_ Synchronize _ Remote _ Temporary Commits

Fetch down all the branches from that Git remote Add a git URL as an alias Save modified and staged changes

$ git fetch [alias] $ git remote add [alias] [url] $ git stash

Merge a remote branch into your current branch to Show the names of the remote repositories you've List stack-order of stashed file changes
 bring it up to date set up
$ git stash list
$ git merge [alias]/[branch] $ git remote

Write working from top of stash stack

Transmit local branch commits to the remote Show the names and URLs of the remote
repository branch repositories $ git stash pop

$ git push [alias] [branch] $ git remote -v

Discard the changes from top of stash stack

Fetch and merge any commits from the tracking Remove a remote repository $ git stash drop
remote branch
$ git remote rm [remote repo name]
$ git pull

Change the URL of the git repo

Merge just one specific commit from another
branch to your current branch $ git remote set-url origin [git_url]

$ git cherry-pick [commit_id]

_ Tracking path Changes Ignoring Files

Delete the file from project and stage the removal /logs/*
for commit
!logs/.gitkeep
$ git rm [file]
/# Ignore Mac system files
.DS_store
Change an existing file path and stage the move

# Ignore node_modules folder

$ git mv [existing-path] [new-path]
node_modules

Show all commit logs with indication of any paths # Ignore SASS config files
that moved .sass-cache

$ git log --stat -M A .gitignore file specifies intentionally untracked

files that Git should ignore

# Git Tricks
Rename branch _ Log _ Branch

1 Renamed to new_name Search change by content List all branches and their upstreams

$ git branch -m <new_name> $ git log -S'<a term in the source>' $ git branch -vv

2 Push and reset

Show changes over time for specific file Quickly switch to the previous branch
$ git push origin -u <new_name>
$ git log -p <file_name> $ git checkout -
3 Delete remote branch
Print out a cool visualization of your log Get only remote branches
$ git push origin --delete <old>

$ git log --pretty=oneline --graph -- $ git branch -r

decorate --all

Checkout a single file from another branch

_ Commit Git Aliases

$ git checkout <branch> -- <file>
Rewrite last commit message git config --global [Link] checkout
git config --global [Link] branch
$ git commit -v --amend git config --global [Link] commit
git config --global [Link] status
