Everyday git commands

This blog post is about git commands I often use. I won’t describe them in depth. If more information is required you can always read the docs.

Commands

most used:

• git fetch
• git push
• git checkout . => undo of local changes

commit:

• git commit -am “some message”

list local branches:

• git branch

create a branch:

• git checkout -b <branch-name>

deleting branches:

• git branch -d <branch-name> i.e. git branch -d feature/blader

delete remote branch:

• git push–delete
  • git push origin –delete dev

housekeeping remotes:

• git remote prune origin

reset and sync local repository with remote branch:

• git fetch origin
• git reset –hard origin/master
• git clean -f -d

renaming and keeping git history:

• in root directory of project
  • git mv <src-dir> <target-dir>
  • samples:
    • git mv packages/core/src packages/core/lib
    • git mv packages/core/lib projects/core/src

That’s it! This post may change over time so bear with me.
