My Git Cheat Sheet

Here’s a nice little cheat sheet of the most common commands I’ve been using in Git, to push my changes out to Github:

cd /c/dev/projects	change directory to c:\dev\projects
git status	get the status of current directory
git add .	stage all pending adds/updates
git add -u	stage all pending updates/deletes
git commit –m "my message"	commit the changes with a message
git push origin master	push the committed changes to github
git branch myBranch	create a new branch named “myBranch”
git branch	list all existing branches
git checkout myBranch	switch to the “myBranch” branch
git checkout master	switch to the “master” branch
git merge myBranch	merge “myBranch” into the current branch
