# GitTricks

Stage all changes

Undo all changes
 

git stash -u


Delete last commit pushed to GitHub



  
To see last two commits: git rebase -i HEAD~2



  
Delete the last commit with dd on the second line

  
Save the file with :wq



  
Force the changes to GitHub git push -f origin master - replace master with branch name if needed



Remove all .DS_Store files from Git repo

 

  
git rm --cached "*.DS_Store"

  
git commit -m "Remove .DS_Store files"

  
And make sure to add .DS_Store to the .gitignore file



LazyGit: add, commit, push 

Add the code below to .bash_profile or .bashrc. Make sure to then restart the terminal for changes to take effect.


```

function lazygit() {

    git add .

    git commit -m "$1"

    git push origin master

}

```

Can commit all changes and push to master branch like this: lazygit "test push"

Force push to GitHub: git push -f





Clean commit log
 



  
Enter: git log --oneline



  
For tags, branches, and some ASCII art use: git log --oneline --graph --decorate
