Changing Names of Branches

Changing a remote branch name

# list all remote branches
git fetch
git branch -a

# Changing a Remote Branch
git remote -v
git remote add <remote_name> <remote_url>
git remote rename <old_name> <new_name>
git remote remove <name>

Delete local and remote branch separately

# local
git branch -d feature/login

Advanced Tricks


# Skip `git add .`
git commit -am "git commit message"

# Check git config
git config -e
git config --global -e

# Local git config

# Change previous commit before push
git commit --ammend
git commit --ammend --no-edit

# Force local code to remote branch
git push origin master --force

# Go back to previous commit but keep history
git revert <branch or commit hash>

# Save stuff for later locally without creating a separate branch
git stash
git stash pop
git stash save stashname
git stash list
git stash apply stashname

# Rename a branch
git branch -M new_name

# Better git log
git log --graph --oneline --decorate

# How do I got back one commit at a time without having to checkout
git bisect start 
# bad
# good

# How do I compress commits
git rebase master --interactive
# popup, replace pick with `squash` to keep comment in logs or `fixup` to remove comment for what you want to merge into a single commit
git commit --fixup  commit_hash
git commit --squash commit_hash
git rebase -i --autosquash

# git hooks, scripts trigged by git
# inside .git/hooks

# Fuck my code and reset everything
git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -df

# Checkout previous branch
git checkout -

Git submodules

# Add
git submodule add {ssh or https path to git repo}}
# pull / Update
git submodule update --recursive --remote

Pull all branches

git branch -r | grep -v '\->' | while read remote; do git branch --track "${remote#origin/}" "$remote"; done
git fetch --all
git pull --all
