Undo last commit (keep changes)
Undo & Fix

Undo the most recent commit but keep your changes staged

$ git reset --soft HEAD~1

This moves HEAD back one commit, leaving your changes staged. You can then edit files and commit again.

Undo last commit (discard changes)
Undo & Fix

Completely remove the last commit and all its changes

$ git reset --hard HEAD~1

WARNING: This permanently deletes the last commit and all uncommitted changes. Use git reflog to recover if needed.

Amend last commit message
Undo & Fix

Change the message of your most recent commit

$ git commit --amend -m "New commit message"

Replaces the last commit message. Only do this if you haven't pushed yet, as it rewrites history.

Unstage all files
Undo & Fix

Remove all files from the staging area

$ git reset HEAD

Unstages all files without modifying your working directory. Files remain modified but are no longer staged.

Discard all local changes
Undo & Fix

Reset working directory to match the last commit

$ git checkout -- .
# Or use: git restore .

Discards all uncommitted changes in tracked files. Untracked files are not affected.

Recover deleted branch
Undo & Fix

Restore a branch that was accidentally deleted

$ git reflog
# Find the commit hash, then:
$ git checkout -b recovered-branch <commit-hash>

Use reflog to find the last commit of the deleted branch, then create a new branch at that commit.

Create feature branch
Branching

Start working on a new feature from main

$ git checkout main
$ git pull origin main
$ git checkout -b feature/my-feature

Ensures you start from the latest main branch, then creates and switches to a new feature branch.

Squash last N commits
Branching

Combine multiple commits into one

$ git reset --soft HEAD~3
$ git commit -m "Combined commit message"

Soft resets N commits back, keeping all changes staged, then creates one new commit. Replace 3 with your number.

Rebase feature on main
Branching

Update your feature branch with latest main changes

$ git checkout feature/my-feature
$ git fetch origin
$ git rebase origin/main

Replays your feature commits on top of the latest main. Resolve conflicts if any arise, then continue.

Cherry-pick a commit
Branching

Apply a specific commit from another branch

$ git log --oneline other-branch
# Find the commit hash, then:
$ git cherry-pick <commit-hash>

Creates a new commit on your current branch with the same changes as the specified commit.

Remove untracked files
Cleanup

Clean up untracked files and directories

$ git clean -n
# Preview first, then:
$ git clean -fd

The -n flag shows what would be deleted. The -f flag forces deletion and -d includes directories.

Remove file from tracking
Cleanup

Stop tracking a file but keep it locally

$ git rm --cached path/to/file
$ echo "path/to/file" >> .gitignore
$ git commit -m "Remove file from tracking"

Removes the file from Git tracking without deleting it from your filesystem. Add it to .gitignore to prevent re-adding.

Prune remote branches
Cleanup

Remove local references to deleted remote branches

$ git fetch --prune
$ git branch -vv | grep "gone"
# Delete stale branches:
$ git branch -d <branch-name>

Fetches and removes references to remote branches that no longer exist, then shows stale local branches.

Resolve merge conflicts
Collaboration

Steps to handle merge conflicts

$ git status
# Edit conflicted files, then:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Resolve merge conflicts"

Check which files have conflicts, edit them to resolve the markers (<<<< ==== >>>>), stage and commit.

Stash and switch branches
Collaboration

Save work temporarily to switch branches

$ git stash -u -m "WIP: my changes"
$ git checkout other-branch
# When done, switch back:
$ git checkout original-branch
$ git stash pop

Stashes all changes (including untracked), switches branch, and later restores them with stash pop.

Pull with rebase
Collaboration

Sync with remote without creating merge commits

$ git pull --rebase origin main

Fetches changes and replays your local commits on top. Keeps a cleaner, linear history than merge.

Create a release tag
Release & Deploy

Tag a release version with annotation

$ git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release version 1.0.0"
$ git push origin v1.0.0

Creates an annotated tag with a message and pushes it to the remote. Use semantic versioning.

Create release archive
Release & Deploy

Create a zip archive of the current state

$ git archive --format=zip --output=release.zip HEAD

Creates a zip file containing all tracked files at the current HEAD, without the .git directory.

Bisect to find a bug
Release & Deploy

Binary search through commits to find when a bug was introduced

$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad HEAD
$ git bisect good v1.0.0
# Test each commit, then:
$ git bisect good # or git bisect bad
# When done:
$ git bisect reset

Git checks out commits between good and bad. You test each one and mark it. Git narrows down the offending commit.
