#Git Cheatsheet

This is a collection of git commands that I use frequently. May or may not be useful to you, but it's useful to me, dammit.

#Git Add Interactive Mode

git add -i

#Clone repository / respective branch:

$ git clone -b <branch name> <host>

#Delete Local and Remote Branch

git push origin --delete <branch_name>
git branch -d <branch_name>

#Merge to Master

git checkout master
git pull origin master
git merge --no-ff test
git push origin master

#Merge into some other branch

git checkout production
git merge development
git push origin production

#Create a new branch and push it to the remote repo

git checkout -b myFeature dev
git push origin myFeature

#Stashing Work In Progress (WIP) changes

git stash

And to get it back:

git stash pop

#So you forked a Repo and want to keep your fork updated

git remote add upstream git@github.com:company/projectyourforkedfrom.git

To update:

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master

If you have commit rights to the upstream repo, you can create a local upstream branch and do work that will go to upstream there.

git checkout -b upstream upstream/master

#Sometimes, you want to locally (or temporarily) ignore a file but don't want to add it to .gitignore

Be careful with this, because if you ignore a file, and then do a git pull after the file was changed upstream, you'll get a conflict. And you'll be confused because Git will tell you to stash your changes, all the while git status is showing no changes.

Ignore it:

git update-index --assume-unchanged <file>

Unignore it:

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged <file>
