Usage Guide
git has too many commands and the common dozen are always "I roughly remember it but cannot type the flags". This cheat sheet organizes the most-used git commands by scenario — undo, branches, remotes, staging, history — each with a plain-language explanation, ready to copy.
1. How to use it
- Start from what you want to do ("split the last commit", "see who changed this line"), then find the scenario group.
- Replace placeholders in flags (<branch>, <hash>) with actual values before running.
- For destructive commands (reset --hard, push --force), confirm the current branch and working tree first.
2. Frequent scenarios at a glance
- Undoing uncommitted work: restore a single file; anything already added must leave the staging area first — mixing the two steps is where beginners get lost.
- Fixing the last commit: --amend appends changes or rewords the message; never amend commits already pushed to a shared branch — it forks history.
- Reading history: log --oneline --graph shows branch topology in one screen; blame answers "who touched this line".
3. What a cheat sheet cannot solve
Rebase conflicts, submodules and hooks get only entry commands from a cheat sheet; what they need is the object model in your head — commits are snapshots, branches are pointers. Once that model clicks, most "git lost my code" stories turn out to be HEAD pointing somewhere else — and reflog almost always brings it back.
