tl;dr I made a comprehensive cheat sheet for daily work with Git commands.
Git is super cool to use and I prefer the commandline over any GUI. But some of the commands are confusing and non-descriptive.
For example git pull is a shortcut for git fetch && git merge.
But the shortcut for git branch <some-branch> && git checkout <some-branch>
is git checkout -b <some-branch>. The command to delete a local branch
is git branch -d <some-branch> while deleting remote branches is done
with git push origin :<some-branch>. It is not obvious why some commands
have options and some dont. A few commands even have complete different
outcomes based on given filenames.
So there was a need for me to have a cheat sheet around, which I may pass to my colleagues and students as well.
The cheat sheet is available as HTML to bookmark it and PDF to print it and put it on your desk.
It also includes a list of best practices while working with Git.
The cheat sheet is written with Markdown and hosted on Github, so feel free to improve it by sending pull requests.
