Git & GitHub Cheat Sheet

Remembering all Git commands can feel tricky at first - even seasoned developers forget them sometimes!
Here’s a handy, practical cheat sheet to make your life easier and help you quickly recall the most commonly used commands.

🔹 Basic Setup

git config --global user.name "Your Name"   # Set your name
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"   # Set your email
git config --global color.ui auto           # Makes git output colorful


## 🔹 Create & Initialize

git init         # Initialize a new repo
git clone URL    # Clone an existing repo from GitHub


## 🔹 Check Status & Changes

git status       # See current status of repo
git diff         # See changes not yet staged
git log          # See commit history


## 🔹 Stage & Commit

git add .                # Stage all changes
git add filename         # Stage specific file
git commit -m "message"  # Commit staged changes with a message


## 🔹 Branching & Merging

git branch               # List all branches
git branch branch-name   # Create a new branch
git checkout branch-name # Switch branch
git merge branch-name    # Merge a branch into current branch


## 🔹 Remote Repositories

git remote -v            # Show remote repos
git push                 # Push commits to remote
git push -u origin main  # Push and track branch
git pull                 # Fetch + merge changes from remote


## 🔹 Undo & Fix

git reset filename       # Unstage a file
git checkout -- filename # Discard changes in working directory
git revert commit_hash   # Undo a commit (safe for shared repos)

## 🔹 Aliases (Optional, saves memory)

git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.br branch
git config --global alias.ci commit
git config --global alias.st status


# Now you can use short commands: git co, git br, git ci, git st.

Remember Commands

1. Use Git daily, even for small projects.
2. Keep this cheat sheet open while coding.
3. Focus on the 10 - 15 commands you use most.
4. Use mnemonic tricks: Add → Commit → Push.
5. Don’t stress about rare commands - Google and cheat sheets exist!..

🔹 How to remember Git & GitHub commands

-Practice regularly → the more you use them, the easier they stick.

-Start with the essentials → clone, add, commit, push, pull, branch, merge. Learn advanced ones later.

-Use cheat sheets → keep a small reference handy until it becomes muscle memory.

-Build small projects → applying commands in real situations helps a lot.

-Don’t stress about forgetting → even experienced devs check commands sometimes.

repetition + real use is the best memory hack. ♥️
