Init
git config --global user.name "Jess Bugs"
git config --global user.email jessbaggzz35@gmail.com

Default branch
git config --global init.default branch master



Help
git config -h


Create a repo:
git init



Rename a brach
git branch -m old-branch-name new-branch-name



Track files:
git add index.html

Track entire dir
git add .



Check status
git status



Untrack files
git rm --cached index.html




Ignore a file
nano .gitignore
include the filename to be ignored:
index.html


Commit
git commit -m "your initial commit message"



See modification/changes
git diff



After making changes to a file, you added it to staging (tracked files), then want put back to "working environment" (remove from staging):

git restore --staged index.html





Bypass "staging" environment and commit directly:
git commit -a -m "second commit"



Restore a file that is being tracked in working directory:
git restore index.html




Check commit history
git log

Abbreviated:
git log --oneline



Amend last commit
git commit -m "modify message of last commit" --amend




See commit history in detail:
git log -p



Revert to a specific commit (snapshot)
git reset --hard [commit hash]

Note: this will overwrite your working directory files with the previous commit files



After doing a --hard reset, all commits will be unreachable. To show the "disappeared" commits:

git reflog

Then:
git reset --hard [commit hash]





Checking out (detached head - Look Around)
git checkout [commit hash]


To go back:
git checkout [branch name]





Create a new branch
git branch NewBranch


List Branches
git branch



Switch to branch
git switch NewBranch




Merging branches
git merge -m "Fixed bug" NewBranch



Delete a branch
git branch -d NewBranch




Create and switch to a new branch
git switch -c NewBranch









STASHING:

Stash the current progress:
git stash
git stash save "message for current progress"



List stashes:
git stash list


At this point, you can switch (checkout) to other branches without committing the current progress on this branch. When you return to this branch, apply the stashed changes with:

Apply Stash
git stash apply
git stash apply stash@{n}



Drop a stash
git stash drop stash@{n}


Pop and apply stash
git stash  pop


Remove (clear) all stashes
git stash clear









Git from W3SHOOLS

Check remote (origin) commit history:
git log origin/main --oneline


List all local and remote branches
git branch -a


Create a new branch
git checkout -b new-branch

Push a branch to remote repository
git push origin new-branch
