What is the Git Command


What’s the Git command for…? A quick reference to Git commands that I easily forget. Use (especially anything with --hard or --force) at your own risk!

Revert a specific file to a previous commit source:

#Get desired Head in the log (e.g. HEAD@{7})
git reflog

#Clip sha for easy pasting (e.g. HEAD@{7})
git rev-parse HEAD@{7} | clip 

#Checkout file to current working git 
git checkout <PASTE> -- filename 

Undo a Git rebase source:

#Get desired Head@ in the log (e.g. HEAD@{7}
git reflog

#Save the existing, soon-to-be-deleted commit
git tag RESET

#Do it
git reset --hard HEAD@{7}

#Delete tag if everything went right
git tag -d RESET

Replicating remote git locally source:

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master

Synchronizing current branch with main branch (in this case develop branch), rewinding new changes to be on top of main branch

git pull --rebase origin develop

Cherry-picking a range of commits (inclusive, oldest commit first) source:

git cherry-pick 0123ab9^..456cd0

#Get just one for your current branch
git cherry-pick 0123ab9

View commit log by author across all branches after a given day (like today) source:

git log --after="2015-11-11 00:00" --all --author="username" --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s"

Fix the commit message source:

git commit --amend -m "New message here"
