# GIT Cheat Sheet

## 1) init — Create an empty GIT repository in your development directory

Go to directory

#### git init

## 2) status — Show the current state of the repository including un-added and un-committed files

#### git status

## 3) add — Add a file to the repository staging area

Create a file, e.g. file.txt
git add file.txt
Add all new or changed files to the repository staging area (the period means all)

#### git add .

## 4) commit — Commit all changes to the repository for first time (-m means message)

#### git commit –m “Initial commit”

Commit all changes to the repository for later activities

#### git commit –m “Description of changes being made to project”

## 5) branch — Create a new branch of the project

Choose a name for the new branch (original branch is master), e.g. test
git branch test
List all branches (* appears next to current branch)

#### git branch

## 6) checkout — Switch branches and check-out all files (e.g. to test branch)

git checkout test
Create a new branch and check-out files in one command

#### git checkout –b test

## 7) merge — Merge two branches together (go to the destination branch first, e.g. master)

#### git checkout master
#### git merge test

## 8) delete — Delete a branch that you no longer need (e.g. after a merge)

#### git branch test –d

Or to force the delete:

#### git branch test –D

## 9) log — View commit history (including long commit ID numbers)

#### git log

## 10) revert — Revert all files back to a previous commit point

#### git revert

Removes cache from a specific file so that it can be added to the .gitignore
#### rm -cache
