Git Cheatsheet
Clone
git clone <path or url to repo>
Create an empty repo
git init
Check if upstream has updates
git fetch
Switch to another branch
git checkout mybranch
Pull upstream updates
git pull
Add a file
git add filename
Move a file
git mv sourcefile destinationfile
Note: You can move a directory or source file or destination file can include directories.
Delete a local branch
git branch -d mybranch
Status
git status
Revert uncommitted changes to a file
git checkout path\to\file.ext
Remove all untracked files
This makes the repository clean again.
Do a dry run first with -n.
git clean -n
Then do it for real with -f.
git clean -fxd
git diff
git diff
git merge
git merge myBranch
Take all upstream source files
git checkout --ours . git add .
Keep all local files
git checkout --theirs . git add .
Abort the merge
git merge --abort
git rebase
This at first looks easy. But there is complexities, especially if you have already pushed.
git rebase master
If a merge conflict occurs, fix it and then run:
git rebase --continue
If you have already pushed, run this to push once rebase is complete.
git push --force-with-lease
