Git Cheatsheet

How to use it

1. Type a keyword into the search box — "branch", "revert", "stash" or a specific flag.
2. The list filters instantly across command text and descriptions.
3. Click any command to copy it to your clipboard.
4. Entries are grouped by workflow: basics, branching, remotes, undo, stash and tags.
5. This is a lookup page, not a Git client — nothing runs against your repositories.

Common use cases

• Muscle-memory gaps — you know the command exists but not the exact flag order (git restore --staged vs git reset HEAD).
• Onboarding — new teammates get one consistent reference instead of tribal knowledge.
• Risky operations — double-check the difference between git reset --soft, --mixed and --hard before running them.
• Cleanup workflows — reach for git stash, git clean or git rebase -i syntax you use once a month.

Why it stays private

The command table ships with the page and the filter is plain string matching. No commands are executed, no repositories are read, and nothing you type leaves the browser.

FAQ

Q: Which Git version do the commands target? A: Modern Git (2.30+). Where newer commands replace older ones (like git switch vs git checkout), the descriptions note the distinction.

Q: Can I run commands directly from this page? A: No — that would require repository access. Copy the command and run it in your own terminal.

Q: Are destructive commands included? A: Yes, with explicit warnings in their descriptions — knowing what --hard does is the point of a reference.
