Hi everyone this are the git commands which I use frequently as a developer in my day to day life.so I thought to share this with all of you.please do comment your frequently use git commands in comment section
stash
The git stash command is a utility that allows a developer to temporarily save modified files. However, it is a utility that should only be used occasionally because it only involves local repository history. Code stored in a local stash is not visible to other developers, nor is it replicated to other git repositories like GitHub or GitLab when a push occurs.
git stash push
- Creates a new stash and rolls back the state of all modified files
git stash apply
- Takes the files in a stash and places them back into the development workspace, but does not delete the stash from history
git stash pop
- Takes the files in a stash, places them back into the development workspace and deletes the stash from history
Creating a new branch from existing branch
git checkout -b new-branch-name
Renaming a branch
1.For renaming a branch you have to checkout to that branch you have to rename
git branch -m new-branch-name
2.Delete the old branch name by running
git push origin --delete old-branch-name
3.Reset the upstream branch to the name of your new local branch by running
git push origin -u new-branch-name.
Deleting a branch
For deleting a branch you have to checkout to another branch because git will not let you delete the branch you are currently working on
- deleting branch locally
git branch -d <branch-name>
- deleting a branch Remotely
git push origin --delete <branch-name>
Undo Local Staged Changes in Git
git restore --staged filename
Removing the Last Commit
To remove the last commit from git, you can simply run
git reset --hard HEAD^
If you are removing multiple commits from the top, you can run
git reset --hard HEAD~2
to remove the last two commits. You can increase the number to remove even more commits.
Removing a specific commit
To undo that specific commit, you have to use the commit hash of that specific commit
git revert cc3bbf7 --no-edit
The command above will undo the changes by creating a new commit and reverting that file to its previous state, as if it never changed.
Lastly, use git push to push the change to the remote branch.
Renaming a commit
To change the message of the most recent commit that has not been pushed to the remote repository, commit it again using the --amend flag.
git commit --amend -m"new commit messsage"
