GIT: tips and tricks

🧙‍♂️In this repository I am going to add all the tips and tricks for using GIT like a wizard.

List of common commands

clone

git clone <LINK> 

or

git clone <LINK> .

or

git clone <LINK> <folder_name>

commit + push

git add .
git commit -m "<Message>"
git push

pull

git pull

fetch

git fetch

checkout

git checkout <branch_name>

To force it

git checkout <branch_name> -f

add remote

git remote add origin <LINK>

remove remote

git remote rm <REMOTE NAME>

List of super commands

Change remote url link

git remote set-url origin <LINK>

git remote -v

Merge + Squash

Squash is a nice feature that allows to do a commit collapsing all the history commits in one commit. It is useful when developer do WIP commits.

git checkout <branch_name>
git merge --squash <branch_name>
git commit

Create a branch without history

git checkout --orphan <name_you_choose_for_orphan_branch>
git commit

Force checkout

All the chances will be replaced by the checkout.

git checkout <branch_name> -f

Disable TLS/SSL verification for a single git command

git -c http.sslVerify=false clone <LINK>

Disable SSL verification for a specific repository

git config http.sslVerify false

Global:

git config --global http.sslVerify false

Merge unrelated histories

git pull --allow-unrelated-histories

Compare branches

git diff master..staging
