A minimalistic updatable git cheatsheet containing basic git commands that are useful for everyday use.

Basic commands

Create a repository:

$git init

Clone a remote repository:

$git clone https://www.example.com/examples/example.git

Check changes in the repository:

$git status

Add all changes to the repository:

$git add .

Commit added changes to the repository:

$git commit -m "commit message"

Push all commits to the remote git hosting (like GitHub, GitLab or Codeberg):

$git push

Branches

View branches:

$git branch

Create new branch named “branch-name”:

$git branch branch-name

Checkout a branch named “branch-name”:

$git checkout branch-name

Merge changes between two branches. Let's say we have “dev” and “new-feature” branches. And we would like to merge “new-feature” into “dev”. So we do:

$git checkout dev
$git merge new-feature
$git push  # if needed

Remove old unused branch both locally and remotely:

$git branch -d local-branch-name  # delete branch locally
git push origin --delete remote-branch-name  # delete branch remotely
