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

  1. Start from what you want to do ("split the last commit", "see who changed this line"), then find the scenario group.
  2. Replace placeholders in flags (<branch>, <hash>) with actual values before running.
  3. 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.
