Git and GitHub: How to Hard Reset Local and Remote Repository
Don't do a hard reset if you've already pushed the commits in question to a shared remote repository. If another developer pulls and starts basing their work on the commits that the reset removes from the commit history, you're going to create huge problems.
Removing Accidentally Committed Files From Remote History
Seems like a rite of passage to accidentally push some api keys or
node_modulesor sensitive data into a public repo. Then in a panic Igit rm -rthe file and commit that next (...but that simply unstages it) and in a flight of terror, force push that edited and rebased history. But a look through my github commit history will show indiff, and the incriminating files remain firmly implanted in my remote repo.
Adding a New Remote and Merging Unrelated Branches
When I have to merge unrelated histories, it's usually because I need to push to a remote repo that already has some content. A good use case is when you have made a new GitHub repo with a readme, but now you need to push a totally different local repo to this GitHub repo. These repositories are not related to each other and can't be merged using the default settings.

Local Git Branch Prune/Delete Against Remote in Python
Automation is a programmer's best friend. Its an investment of time and skill in order to make your life and job easier. Hey, we have all been there. You are working on a project and you are attempting a major change. So you create a new branch off of the master and make your changes. Publish/Commit/Push. Now you have to look into a bug but you don't want to merge your changes in without testing yet. You create a new branch off of the master and resolve your bug there. Tested and merged into master. After weeks of doing this, you realize that your local branches have piled up and are most likely dead (assuming that you delete your branches in remote once they are merged). So you will need to run a command to prune, then run a command to get branches including remote, then run another command to delete old branches...bleh.
