A Git Cheatsheet Of Commands Every Developer Should Use
GIT is the most widely used distributed open-source Version Control System that allows you to track and manage changes made to the files locally on your computer.
However, the tool is so powerful and extensive enough to get lost in all the possible commands it has.
Hence, based on my own experience, heres a compilation of GIT cheat sheet
which is the most important and commonly used GIT commands for easy reference.
Here, you can download GIT for all platforms.
GIT CHEAT SHEET
CREATE
From existing data,
git init
creates new repository in current directorygit add .
add all latest changes to the next commit
cd ~/projects/myprojectgit initgit add .
From existing repo
git clone
is used to clone a repositroy from a remote server
git clone ~/existing/repo ~new/repogit clone you@host:dir/project.git (default protocol is ssh)
Remote repository for existing local data
mkdir repo.git && cd repo.gitgit init --bare[--shared=group]
UPDATE
Fetch latest changes from origin
git fetch (this does not merge them)
Pull latest changes from origin
git pull (does a fetch followed by a merge)
Apply a patch that someone sent you
git am -3 patch.mbox (In case of conflict, resolve the conflict and)git am --resolve
PUBLISH
Commit all local changes
git commit -a
Commit previously staged changes
git commit -m "descriptive message"
Prepare a patch for other developers
git format-patch origin
Push changes to origin
git push [origin][branch]
Make a version or a milestone
git tag <version_name>
BRANCH
Switch to the BRANCH branch
git checkout <BRANCH>
Merge branch B1 into branch B2
git checkout <B2>git merge <B1>
Create branch based on HEAD
git branch <BRANCH>
Create branch based on another
git checkout <new><base>
Delete a branch
git branch -d <branch>
REVERT
Return to the last committed state
git checkout -f | git reset --hard (you cannot undo a hard reset)
Revert the last commit
git revert HEAD (Creates a new commit)
Revert specific commit
git revert $id (Creates a new commit)
Fix the last commit
git commit -a --amend (after editing the broken files)
Checkout the ID version of a file
git checkout <ID><file>
SHOW
Files changed in working directory
git status
Changes to tracked files
git diff
Changes between ID1 and ID2
git diff <ID1><ID2>
History of changes
git log
History of changes with files changed
git whatchanged
Who changed what and when in a file
git blame <file>
A commit identifies by ID
git show <ID>
A specific file from a specific ID
git diff <ID>:<file>
All local branches
git branch (star "*" marks the current branch)
Search for patterns
git grep<pattern>[path]
Here,
- master is the default development branch
- origin is the default upstream repository
- HEAD is the current branch
That's it from me today. I hope this cheat sheet helps you with some of the problems you may encounter along the way.
Certainly, it does not cover all the things, but its a good article to begin with.
Thanks for reading and let me know about your favorite Git commands in response to this article and share it with your friends and colleagues.
