Git is a Version Control System designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. You should already the basics commands: init, add, commit and push. But I want to introduce you to some basic commands that can help you a lot, so let's go.

git merge

$ git checkout <branch that will receive changes>
$ git merge <branch with changes>

git rebase

Reapply commits on top of another branch.

$ gut checkout <branch that will receive changes>
$ git rebase <branch with changes>

git stash

Use git stash when you want to record the current state of the working directory and the index, but not commit this modifications.

$ git stash

Can be list the modifications stashes:

$ git stash list

Restored:

$ git stash apply

Apply specific stash:

$ git stash apply stash@{2}

git cherry pick

Apply the changes introduced by some existing commits.

$ git cherry-pick <commit hash>

git commit --amend

If you commit and forgot to stage the changes in a file you wanted to add to this commit:
