I prefer global configuration (using --global
) stored in your home directory applied to all repositories.
You can configure just one repo, you can call git config
from you repository with flag --local
.
git config --global user.name "Ondrej Sika"
git config --global user.email "ondrej@ondrejsika.com"
WARNING: Apply only if you want to use rebase workflow!
git config --global pull.ff only
git config --global merge.ff only
git config --global pull.rebase true
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
git config --global init.defaultBranch master
Git use by default Vim or editor from EDITOR
environment variable. If you want to use different editor, you can configure it.
git config --global core.editor emacs
You can use GUI editors like VS Code too:
git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
See Associating text editors with Git on Github Help to use your editor on your platform.

If you want to see your branch in terminal prompt you have to use git-prompt.sh.
It works on Unix (ZSH & Bash). If you use Windows, it works by default in Git Bash and there is no way how add it into CMD or PowerShell.
Install On Unix:
wget https://github.com/git/git/raw/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh
mv git-prompt.sh ~/.git-prompt.sh
echo ". ~/.git-prompt.sh " >> ~/.bashrc
You have to add __git_ps1
to your PS1
variable.
Bash Example:
export PS1='\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]$(__git_ps1)\$ '
Save it to .bashrc
:
echo "export PS1='\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]$(__git_ps1)\$ '" >> ~/.bashrc
You can create own git aliases:
git config --global alias.<alias> <command>
Examle:
git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.br branch
git config --global alias.ci commit
git config --global alias.st status
Usage of aliases is git co
for git checkout
, git ci
for git commit
, ...
Those aliases work on every platform (event Windows).
From ondrejsika/dotfiles
alias st='git status'
alias sta='git status --untracked-files=all'
alias di='git diff'
alias dis='git diff --staged'
alias dit='git diff | tig'
alias dist='git diff --staged | tig'
alias ci='git commit'
alias co='git checkout'
alias br='git branch'
alias ad='git add'
alias fa='git fetch --all --prune'
alias ga='gitk --all'
alias glo='git log --oneline '
I also use alias completion using complete alias, eg: complete -F _complete_alias st
for st
alias.
slu git url open
With alias alias guo="slu git url open"

slu git url get
slu git use-ssh

Create on Github (eg.: example-repository
) and clone it.
git clone git@github.com:ondrejsika/example-repository.git
cd example-repository
or create it locally
mkdir example-repository
cd example-repository
git init
File .gitignore
defines files ignored by Git. Those files doesn't exist for Git. This is a simple example for Next.js project.
.vscode
node_modules
.next
out
http://github.com/github/gitignore
File .editorconfig
define editors behavior, like spaces vs tabs or tab size, for example.
root = true
[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true
end_of_line = lf
max_line_length = off

Show status of repository. See which files are edited or want to be committed.
git status
Show all untracked files in status
git status --untracked-files=all
Add file to next commit
git add <path>
Examples
git add index.html
git add .
You can use -p
to switch into interactive mode and select part of changed file, which you want to commit.
git add -p <path>
You can see changes before git add
or git commit
.
See new changes in files managed by Git (not in new files):
git diff
If you want to see staged changes (added, prepared for commit), you have to use:
git diff --staged
Remove changes from next commit
# Unstage all changes
git reset
# Unstage file
git reset -- <path>
Save prepared changes to repository
git commit
git commit -a
git commit <file>
git commit -m "<message>"
git commit -am "<message>"
git commit --amend
https://www.conventionalcommits.org/
<type>[(<scope>)]: <message>
Types:

If you have clonned repository, git clone
has added configuration of repository.
Check it by:
git remote -v
and you will see:
ondrej@sika-macbookpro:~/example-repository (master)$ git remote -v
origin git@github.com:ondrejsika/example-repository.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:ondrejsika/example-repository.git (push)
If you've created repository by git init
you see nothing.
To add remote repository, you have to use:
git remote add <name> <url>
For example:
git remote add origin git@github.com:ondrejsika/example-repository.git
Now you can push & share your code with collaborators. Check git remote -v
.
If you want to rename remote repository, use:
git remote rename <name> <new name>
If you want delete remote, use:
git remote remove <name>
Push your commits to remote repository (Github).
# Push new branch to repository
git push <remote> <branch> -u
# Push commit
git push
Pull new commits from remote repository (Github).
git pull
Git stash is used for temporarily postpone your changes to make your working directory clean.
That's required by some Git commands like git rebase
, ... or sometimes for git checkout
, git cherry-pick
, ...
If you want to stash changes, use:
git stash
And check status using git status
.
If you want to see, which files are stashed, use:
git stash show
If you want to see patch, add -p
:
git stash show -p
If you want to apply stashed changes and remove stash, use:
git stash pop
And check git diff
and git stash show
.
If you have multiple stashes you work only with the latest.
List all stashes:
git stash list
If you want to specify other stash you can use stash@{0}
. For example:
git stash show stash@{1}
git stash show -p stash@{1}
More about stash in offical documentation - https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash
# Show local branches
git branch
# Show all branches (with the branches of remote repository - on Github)
git branch --all
Switch is new command which implements part of checkout functionality.
See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70454786/5281724
Create branch (and dont switch to it)
git branch <new_branch> [<branch_from>]
Switch branch
git checkout <branch>
git switch <branch>
Create branch and switch to it
git checkout -b <new_branch> [<branch_from>]
git switch -c <new_branch> [<branch_from>]
git checkout <branch>
git switch <branch>
# Push commits to remote repository (Github)
git push <remote> <branch> -u
# Pull new commits to my branch
git pull
You can merge branches locally or on Github / Gitlab using Pull / Merge Requests.
See my czech article about rebase: https://ondrej-sika.cz/git/rebase/
Reset HEAD (current brach) to specific state.
Set HEAD to specific state, but don't change files in working directory.
git reset <commit>
If you want also reset files, use --hard
:
git reset --hard <commit>
For example, you want to remove last commit but want to keep changes:
git reset HEAD~1
See git status
and git diff
, files from last commit are now in changed.
If you want remove last commit with its changes, use:
git reset --hard HEAD~1
And see (git status
, git diff
), no changes.
Create some demo commits:
touch A
git add A
git commit -m A
touch B
git add B
git commit -m B
touch C
git add C
git commit -m C
touch D
git add D
git commit -m D
touch E
git add E
git commit -m E
touch F
git add F
git commit -m F
touch G
git add G
git commit -m G
touch H
git add H
git commit -m H
You rewrite history, join commits, update messages, reorder commits, ...
git rebase -i <ref>
Example:
git rebase -i HEAD~6
Copy commit (ref) to actual HEAD.
git cherry-pick <ref>
Example:
git cherry-pick v1.0.x
git cherry-pick 47bdfb7
Reflog shows a history of refference. By default shows a HEAD
. You can undo any git operations even reset.
git reflog
git reflog <branch>
Create tag:
git tag <tag> [<ref>]
Example:
git tag v1.0.0
git tag v1.0.0 HEAD~1
git tag v1.0.0 master
git tag v1.0.0 075615a
List tags:
git tag
Push tag:
git push <remote> <tag>
Example:
git push origin v1.0.0
Push all tags:
git push <remote> --tags
Example:
git push origin --tags
Delete tag (not recommended):
git tag -d <tag>
Example:
git tag -d v1.0.1
Delete tag from server:
git push <remote> :<tag>
Example:
git push origin :v1.0.2
See authors of actual code
git blame <file>
See authors of code in specific revision
git blame <rev> <file>
See only lines from 1 to 10
git blame -L 1,10 <file>
Clone repository with submodules:
git clone --recursive <repo_url>
If you have cloned repository without --recursive
you have to:
git submodule update --init
# for nested submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive
Add submodule to repository:
git submodule init
git submodule add <submodule_repo_url> [<path>]
Add submodule and track specific branch:
git submodule add -b <branch> <submodule_repo_url> [<path>]
Update tracked branch:
git submodule set-branch --branch <branch> <path>
Update remote repository:
git submodule set-url <path> <newurl>
Update submodule from remote repository
git submodule update --remote
Pull changes & pull submodules
git pull --recurse-submodules
Execute command for each submodule:
git submodule foreach 'git reset --hard'
# including nested submodules
git submodule foreach --recursive 'git reset --hard'

Git bisect helps you find commit which introduce a bug
Start bisect session
git bisect start
Select goog commit
git bisect goog <ref>
Set bad commit
git bisect bad <ref>
Now check if actual working tree contains bug.
If yes
git bisect bad
In not
git bisect good
Repeat it until bisect print out the commit which introduce a bug.
To close bisect session, use:
git bisect reset
git config --global commit.gpgsign true
git config --global user.signingkey B000780A20CF1013F7A59081775D8A020903EF6B
Auto setup remote on push (from Git version 2.37.0)
git config --global --add --bool push.autoSetupRemote true
