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"
