| + | ==== Unstage a staged file or directory == | ||
| + | From [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/348170/how-to-undo-git-add-before-commit|stackoverflow.]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | git reset <path-to-file-or-dir> | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Change a previous commit == | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you haven't pushed it yet, it is possible to make a new commit that is automatically merged with the previous commit. Stage the changes you need to add to the previous commit with ''git add'' first, then: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | git commit --amend | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | This command will open ''$EDITOR'' for editing of the commit message and then merge the staged changes with the previous commit. To avoid editing the commit message, include ''--no-edit''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Undo the previous commit == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | git commit -m "Something terribly misguided" | ||
| + | # oops! | ||
| + | |||
| + | # this line reverts the previous commit | ||
| + | git reset HEAD~ | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Other Useful Notes == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Get a diff including all the changes between two revisions == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | git diff <rev1>^..<rev2> | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Merge Squash == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | git merge --squash <other_branch> | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Applies all of the changes made to ''<other_branch>'' to the working copy as a single set of //staged// changes which is ready to be committed. Use ''git commit'' as per usual. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== List Remote Branches == | ||
| + | |||
| + | After initially cloning a repository, git is only aware of the the default branch, which is usually ''master''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $git branch | ||
| + | * master | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use ''-a'' to list remote branches: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $git branch -a | ||
| + | * master | ||
| + | remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master | ||
| + | remotes/origin/release | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Misc Tasks == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Show only the files that are modified as a commit == | ||
| + | |||
| + | This removes the diff lines from the ''show'' command (''+''/''-'' lines): | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $git show <hash> --name-only | ||
| </code> | </code> | ||
