Commands related to a remote repository:git clone git@github.com:USER-NAME/REPOSITORY-NAME.gitgit push or git push origin main (Both accomplish the same goal in this context)Commands related to the workflow:git add .git commit -m "A message describing what you have done to make this snapshot different"Commands related to checking status or log historygit statusgit logThe basic Git syntax is program | action | destination. For example,git add . is read as git | add | ., where the period represents everything in the current directory;git commit -m "message" is read as git | commit -m | "message"; andgit status is read as git | status | (no destination).Delete commits: git reset --hard HEAD~1 - delete last commit You can also remove up to a specific commit using a commit’s hash, like so: git reset --hard <hash> To delete commits from remote, you will need to push your local changes to the remote using the git push command. git push origin HEAD --force Undo commit, but keep changes: git reset --soft HEAD~1 gitk - display git in a desktop window git config --global --list - list git repositories config(username, email) git config --global user.name "<username>" - set global git username git config --global user.email <email> - set global git email address git commit -am "commit" - add files and commit at the same time git add --patch - view file changes since the last commit git log --oneline --graph - log commits one line git checkout <commit-hash> "filename" - request the contents of the file in the included commit git checkout HEAD~1 - step back 1 commit git checkout --. - reverse git add . git checkout -b <new-branch> add and switch to a new branch git checkout <branch-name> - move to another branch git merge <branch-name> - merge another branch with the main branch git rebase <branch-name> -> git add . -> git rebase --continue - merge another branch from master branch git rm <filename> - delete file and add to stage git checkout main - return to the last commit on the main branch git checkout HEAD~1 -> git checkout -B main - merge the main branch into the current commit git reflog -> git checkout <commit-hash> - display all previous logs and reset the desired commit git mv <current-path/filename> <new-path/filename> - moving files in git and add to stage git diff HEAD~1 HEAD - display the difference between current status and previous commit git reset --soft HEAD~1 - delete last commit, keeping changes git add *.<file-extension> - add all with this extension git branch -D <branch-name> - delete branch ssh keygen -t rsa -C "<email-address>" - generate public/private key cat c/users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub - copy public key to github -> Your Profile=>Edit Profile=>SSH and GPG Keys git rebase <new-branch>=>git commit -m "commit"=> git push -u <new-branch> - push a new branch to github and follow this branch from local git repo git commit -m "<commit-message> Fixes#<issue-number>" - resolve an issue on github in master branch
