Git: Cheat Sheet
July 2nd, 2009 by jeremychoneCreate and Swith branch
git checkout -b my_new_branch
List local and remote branches
git branch -a
Git reset -hard (good to undo merge)
git reset --hard
abandon everything since your last commit; this command can be DANGEROUS. If
merging has resulted in conflicts and you’d like to just forget about the
merge, this command will do that.
Git reset –hard HEAD^ (remove completely last commit)
git reset --hard HEAD^
Git revert last commit (this will add another commit to remove the old one)
git revert HEAD
Git clean (remove untrack files) source
git clean -f
git reset --hard HEAD^
git revert HEAD
git clean -f
clean directory as well:
git clean -fd
If you just want to remove ignored files, run “git clean -f -X”. If you want to remove ignored as well as non-ignored files, run “git clean -f -x”
Git Abort when git am breaks
git am --abort
Git Tag (see Git tag cheat sheet)
Tag a specific branch
git tag stable-1 1b2e1d63ff
Viewing available tags is done with -l:
git tag -l
Annotated tag:
git tag -a -m "Tagging release 1.0" v1.0
Viewing tags with annotation:
git tag -l -n1
Delete a tag:
git tag -d tag_name
Push tags:
git push origin --tags
git checkout -f -b [new branch name] [tag]/[sha1]
