How to: Diff
Show only changed files
> git diff --name-only <branch> > git diff --name-only <commit1> <commit2>
How to: Ignore after commit
> git rm --cached <files pattern>
How to: Revert
Revert All Uncommitted Changes in Working Tree and Index
> git reset --hard
Remove all Untracked Files and Directories
> git clean -fd
How to: Branches
Sync local repo with remote one
> git fetch --prune
-p, --prune After fetching, remove any remote-tracking branches which no longer exist on the remote. |
List branch
> git branch ' list local > git branch -r ' list remote > git branch -a ' list local + remote
Comparing Git Branches
Display diff change(s)
> git diff branch1..branch2
Display diff file(s)
> git diff --name-status branch1..branch2
Display diff detail(s)
> git diff --stat --color master..branchName
Push local branch to remote repository
> git push -u origin _local_branch_
Remove local/remote branch
To remove a local branch from your machine:
> git branch -d the_local_branch
To remove a remote branch:
git push origin :the_remote_branch
Pull a remote branch
You could pull a remote branch to a local branch with the following command:
> git pull <repo> <remotebranchname>:<localbranchname>
Example:
> git pull origin rxyz:lxyz
When you are on the master branch you also could first checkout a branch like:
> git checkout -b lxyz > git pull origin rxyz
This creates a new local branch "lxyz" from the master and directly checks it out. Than you do: git pull origin rxyz that pulls the remote branch to your local one.
How To: Tags
Delete a remote Git tag
Probably you don’t need to do this often (if ever at all) but just in case, here is how to delete a tag from a remote Git repository.
If you have a tag named ‘mytag’ then you would just do this:
> git tag -d mytag > git push origin :refs/tags/mytag
That will remove ‘mytag’ from the remote repository (e.g. Github).
Create the tag:
> git tag -a 1.0 -m'release 1.0'
push your tag to the remote repository:
> git push --tags
Download tag as zip archive
> git archive --format=zip tag_name > output_file
Branching, Merging & Development strategy (from StackOverflow)
One good strategy during development is to never works directly on master branch. |
Always we have to create a new branch for new code:
> git checkout -b topic/topic_name master
From there, I can push out the changes to public repositories:
> git push <public git url> topic/topic_name
Or eventually just merge it back in master branch:
> git checkout master && git merge topic/topic_name
If you truly need to go back to an older point in time and set that as your master, you can rename the current branch to something else and then check out an older version to be your master:
> git branch -m master junk > git co -b master old_sha1_value
To remove local & remote branch
> git branch -d the_local_branch > git push origin :the_remote_branch
Taken from StackOverflow.
How To: Switch “origin” of your GIT repository
> git remote set-url <remote name eg:origin> <new git url>
How To: Stashing your changes (original post)
While you are in the middle of working on something complicated, you find an unrelated but obvious and trivial bug. You would like to fix it before continuing. You can use git stash to save the current state of your work, and after fixing the bug (or, optionally after doing so on a different branch and then coming back), unstash the work-in-progress changes.
$ git stash save "work in progress"
This command will save your changes away to the stash, and reset your working tree and the index to match the tip of your current branch. Then you can make your fix as usual.
... edit and test ... > git commit -a -m "your comment"
After that, you can go back to what you were working on with git stash apply:
> git stash apply
Stash Queue
You can also use stashing to queue up stashed changes.
> git stash list stash@{0}: WIP on book: 51bea1d... fixed images stash@{1}: WIP on master: 9705ae6... changed the browse code to the official repo
Then you can apply them individually with
> git stash apply stash@{1}
Clear out the list with ''.
> git stash clear
How to: svn project as git repository
Clone
> git svn clone [-s] <svn repo url>
standard layout The -s is there to signify that my Subversion repository has a standard layout (trunk/, branches/, and tags/.) If your repository doesn’t have a standard layout, you can leave that off. |
Commit your changes
> git svn dcommit
Update your working copy
> git svn rebase
How to: Keeping a git fork in sync with the forked repo.
When you fork a git repo, probably you would like to keep in sync the forked repo with the original one. This is how I do it.
> git remote add <repo name> <git url>
Fetch
> git fetch <repo name>
This will create a branch, so then you just have to merge back:
> git checkout master > git merge <repo name>/master
Commit those new changes:
> git commit -a -m "Sync to fork master"
