Because my shell history will not remember all those commands forever I dump some of my favorites here. Over time I surely will add more...

Git reset
git reset the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree since <commit> are discarded.
git reset --hard HEAD
Or revert latest local commit:
git reset HEAD~1
Git push
With git push you can update a remote repository.
The command falls back to "the current branch is pushed to the corresponding upstream branch", if no special configurations or options are present.
git push
Delete remote branch
A highly voted question How do I delete a Git branch locally and remotely?
The push-way:
$ git push origin --delete my-feature-branch
- [deleted] my-feature-branch
The branch-way:
$ git branch --delete --remotes origin/my-feature-branch
Deleted remote-tracking branch origin/my-feature-branch (was abcdefg).
Either way the local branch still exists. You can check the status with:
$ git branch --no-color -v
main abcdefg Add fancy feature
* my-feature-branch 0123456 [gone] Add my feature
Hint: Deleting the local branch will keep you posted in case you haven't merged already.
$ git branch --delete my-feature-branch
warning: deleting branch 'my-feature-branch' that has been merged to
'refs/remotes/origin/my-feature-branch', but not yet merged to HEAD.
Deleted branch my-feature-branch (was 0123456).
Git tag
Make an unsigned, annotated git tag object, delete and list tag objects.
git tag -a -m "Release 0.1.8" release_0_1_8
git tag -a -m "Release 0.1.8" v0.1.8
git tag -d release_0_1_8
git tag -l
git remote
How to show the currently used git remote:
$ git remote
origin
$ git remote -v
origin git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/virgo/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.git (fetch)
origin git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/virgo/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.git (push)
git clone
Git clone and checkout a single branch:
git clone -b docs --single-branch git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/virgo/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.git
git fetch
With git fetch you can fetch branches and tags.
- Fetch from all remotes
- Prune tracking branches, if they are no longer present on remote(s)
git fetch --all --prune
Also discussed on Stack Overflow:
- How to fetch all git branches
- How to prune local tracking branches that do not exist on remote anymore
Git submodule
Working with Git submodules...
The following sequence shows how to create (and checkout) all submodules recursively with foreach:
git submodule foreach git branch 3.7.0.M02
git submodule foreach git checkout 3.7.0.M02
Update Git submodule to latest commit on origin
git submodule update --remote --merge
Tips'n'Tricks
Get the short commit hash: git rev-parse --short HEAD
Git bisect
