Reverting a commit

• In the ordinary case you want to generate a new commit that reverts the changes with git revert <commit>

If you haven't pushed your commit yet, then there are a few options.

Do not do this if you have already pushed your commit!

• Amend the existing commit with git commit --amend.
• Revert the most recent commit: git reset HEAD~

If you have pushed the commit upstream, but if there are no other users of the brach

• you can do some surgery on it and rewind the history by git reset --hard <commit> followed by git push origin -f

To undo changes on your local repo, and set your branch to exactly match the remote branch: git fetch origin followed by git reset --hard origin/master

Branching

• List all branches: git branch
• Switch to a branch: git checkout <branch>
• Create a new local branch with git branch <branch>
• Add branch to the remote repository: git push origin <branch>
• Delete a local branch with git branch -d <branch>
• Delete a local branch even if it has unmerged changes (throws them away), git branch -D <branch>
• Delete a remote branch with git push origin --delete <branch>
• Rename the current branch git branch -m <branch>
• Compare two branches, from the HEAD of the first branch to the HEAD of the second git diff branch1..branch2
• Compare commits on two branches git log branch1..branch2
• Compare the change in a branch2 from the common ancestor of branch1 and branch2 git diff branch1...branch2
• Compare a specific file between two branches git diff master..feature -- <file>
• To rename a branch, git branch -m old_branchname new_branchname followed by git push origin :old_branchname new_branchname Might also need git push --set-upstream origin new_branchname
