Make Changes
Lists all new or modified files to be committed
// List all un committed files $ git status
Shows file differences not yet staged
// Differences which are not yet staged $ git diff
Snapshots the file in preparation for versioning
// add a file $ git add [file] // add all files $ git add . // add multiple files at once with file name $ git add [file 1] [file 2] [file 3] [file 4] [...] [file n]
Shows file differences between staging and the last file version
// show difference of staging and last version $ git diff --staged
Unstages the file, but preserve its contents
// unstage $ git reset [file]
Records file snapshots permanently in version history
// commit changes $ git commit -m "[descriptive message]"
If the file is under git track we can combine both comments in one line like
// commit file under track $ git commit -am "[descriptive message]" // OR $ git commit -a -m "[descriptive message]" // here -a to add // -m to commit message
Group Changes
Lists all local branches in the current repository
// list branches $ git branch
Creates a new branch
// new branch $ git branch [branch-name]
Switches to the specified branch and updates the working directory
// checkout to a branch $ git checkout [branch-name]
Combines the specified branch’s history into the current branch
// merge a branch $ git merge [branch]
Deletes the specified branch
// delete branch $ git branch -d [branch-name]
Hard Deletes the specified branch – Force Delete the branch
// Hard delete $ git branch -D [branch-name]
Delete Remote branch
// delete remote branch $ git push origin --delete [branch-name]
Refactor Filenames
Deletes the file from the working directory and stages the deletion
// delete file $ git rm [file]
Removes the file from version control but preserves the file locally
// delete file but preserves in locally $ git rm --cached [file]

// list the history/log $ git log
Lists version history for a file, including renames

Shows content differences between two branches
// display difference of two branch $ git diff [first-branch]...[second-branch]
Shows content differences between two commit
// display difference of two commit $ git diff [first-commit]...[second-commit]
Outputs metadata and content changes of the specified commit
// display content changes in a commit $ git show [commit]
Synchronize Changes
Downloads all history from the repository bookmark
// download bookmark $ git fetch [bookmark]
Combines bookmark’s branch into current local branch
// merge bookmark into branch $ git merge [bookmark]/[branch]
Uploads all local branch commits to GitHub
// upload $ git push [alias] [branch] //eg:- $ git push origin master
Downloads bookmark history and incorporates changes
// download $ git pull [alias] [branch] //eg:- $ git pull origin master
Redo Commits
Undoes all commits after [commit] , preserving changes locally
// undo commits $ git reset [commit]
Discards all history and changes back to the specified commit
// Discard hard $ git reset --hard [commit]
Discards all history and changes back to the specified branch
// Discard to a branch $ git reset --hard [branch]
Discard all history and change back to the remote branch
// Discard to a remote branch $ git reset --hard origin/[branch]
Track and Untrack the files
This will tell git you want to start ignoring the changes to the file
$ git update-index --assume-unchanged path/to/file
When you want to start keeping track again
$ git update-index --no-assume-unchanged path/to/file
