Git

Branches

List existing branches:

git branch

Option -r causes the remote-tracking branches to be listed, and option -a shows both local and remote branches.

git branch -r

Change branch:

git switch otherbranch

or:

git checkout otherbranch

Create new branch:

git switch -c newbranch

Remember: git clone only brings one branch

Stash

Puts unstaged changes aside, for example before switching branches

git stash 

To also include unstaged files:

git stash -u

Merge

Typically from the main branch:

git merge other-branch

Can also be done using the option --no-commit to perform check before applying changes

git merge and rebase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0chZFIZLR_0

Conflicts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HosPml1qkrg

Reverse commits

Rewinds back 5 commits, keeping changes

git reset HEAD~5

Rewinds back 3 commits, discarding changes

git reset --hard HEAD~3

git reset deletes commits, you can also use the revert command to reverse commits by making new commits that cancel changes.
