Github Commands.

When I started using git 3 years ago, I found it very confusing. It had over 100 commands that came with arguments/options.

After a while, I realized that I didn't have to learn them all to hit the ground running in most teams.

This was how I understood the commands I used often:

• git status - where am I? what has changed?
• git clone - copy an upstream repository into a local folder
• git init - start tracking this folder or create a new git repository.
• git checkout - branch away to a new or existing branch.
• git add - prepare my most recent code changes for my next commit.
• git commit - advance added changes to be ready for publishing.
• git push - publish committed changes.
• git pull - get me an updated version from upstream.
• git merge - combine branches (local).
• git branch - switch branches.
• git diff - what is happening?
• git log - what has happened?
• git restore - undo changes

Feel free to add yours :)
