  1. Starting a project Git init Create a local repository: $ git init Git clone Make a local copy of the server repository. $ git clone
  2. Local changes Git add Add a file to staging (Index) area: $ git add Filename Add all files of a repo to staging (Index) area: $ git add* Git commit Record or snapshots the file permanently in the version history with a message. $ git commit -m " Commit Message"
  3. Track changes Git diff Track the changes that have not been staged: $ git diff Track the changes that have staged but not committed: $ git diff --staged Track the changes after committing a file: $ git diff HEAD Track the changes between two commits: $ git diff Git Diff Branches: $ git diff < branch 2> Git status Display the state of the working directory and the staging area. $ git status Git show Shows objects: $ git show
  4. Commit History Git log Display the most recent commits and the status of the head: $ git log Display the output as one commit per line: $ git log -oneline Displays the files that have been modified: $ git log -stat Display the modified files with location: $ git log -p Git blame Display the modification on each line of a file: $ git blame
  5. Ignoring files .gitignore Specify intentionally untracked files that Git should ignore. Create .gitignore: $ touch .gitignore List the ignored files: $ git ls-files -i --exclude-standard
  6. Branching Git branch Create branch: $ git branch List Branch: $ git branch --list Delete a Branch: $ git branch -d Delete a remote Branch: $ git push origin -delete Rename Branch: $ git branch -m Git checkout Switch between branches in a repository. Switch to a particular branch: $ git checkout Create a new branch and switch to it: $ git checkout -b Checkout a Remote branch: $ git checkout Git stash Switch branches without committing the current branch. Stash current work: $ git stash Saving stashes with a message: $ git stash save "" Check the stored stashes: $ git stash list Re-apply the changes that you just stashed: $ git stash apply Track the stashes and their changes: $ git stash show Re-apply the previous commits: $ git stash pop Delete a most recent stash from the queue: $ git stash drop Delete all the available stashes at once: $ git stash clear Stash work on a separate branch: $ git stash branch Git cherry pic Apply the changes introduced by some existing commit: $ git cherry-pick
  7. Merging Git merge Merge the branches: $ git merge Merge the specified commit to currently active branch: $ git merge Git rebase Apply a sequence of commits from distinct branches into a final commit. $ git rebase Continue the rebasing process: $ git rebase -continue Abort the rebasing process: $ git rebase --skip Git interactive rebase Allow various operations like edit, rewrite, reorder, and more on existing commits. $ git rebase -i
  8. Remote Git remote Check the configuration of the remote server: $ git remote -v Add a remote for the repository: $ git remote add Fetch the data from the remote server: $ git fetch Remove a remote connection from the repository: $ git remote rm Rename remote server: $ git remote rename Show additional information about a particular remote: $ git remote show Change remote: $ git remote set-url Git origin master Push data to the remote server: $ git push origin master Pull data from remote server: $ git pull origin master
  9. Pushing Updates Git push Transfer the commits from your local repository to a remote server. Push data to the remote server: $ git push origin master Force push data: $ git push -f Delete a remote branch by push command: $ git push origin -delete edited
  10. Pulling updates Git pull Pull the data from the server: $ git pull origin master Pull a remote branch: $ git pull Git fetch Download branches and tags from one or more repositories. Fetch the remote repository: $ git fetch< repository Url> Fetch a specific branch: $ git fetch Fetch all the branches simultaneously: $ git fetch -all Synchronize the local repository: $ git fetch origin
  11. Undo changes Git revert Undo the changes: $ git revert Revert a particular commit: $ git revert Git reset Reset the changes: $ git reset -hard $ git reset -soft: $ git reset --mixed
  12. Removing files Git rm Remove the files from the working tree and from the index: $ git rm Remove files from the Git But keep the files in your local repository: $ git rm --cached
