| 5 | +<em>How to Hard Sync local Master with Original Upstream</em> |
| 6 | +</summary> |

| 8 | +Follow these steps in your main branch |
| 9 | +(upstream" is the original repository and "origin" is the fork one) : |
| 10 | +- `git checkout main` |
| 11 | +- `git pull upstream main` |
| 12 | +- `git reset --hard upstream/main` |
| 13 | +- `git push origin main --force` |

| 18 | +<em>Why the previous commits of another branch are showing in the new branch</em> |
| 19 | +</summary> |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +When you create a new branch from a particular branch, you'll start from the point where that branch currently is. So all commit history will be there in the new branch as well. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +A good rule of thumb is to always create a new branch from the branch that you intend to eventually merge the new branch into (main branch). So if D is intended to be merged into main at some future point in time, create it from the current tip of main. |

| 32 | +<em>Edit a commit</em> |
| 33 | +</summary> |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + 1. `git add `: Add new changes |
| 36 | + 2. `git commit --amend --no-edit`: it will combine the new staged files to the last commit. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +**or** |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +When calling git reset, you need to specify the commit to reset to or you can specify an ancestor of HEAD, the current commit, using the tilde (~) suffix. |
| 41 | +- `git add .` |
| 42 | +- `git commit -m "This commit is a mistake"` |
| 43 | +- `git reset HEAD~` |
| 44 | +- `git add main.py # need to re-add files after reset` |
| 45 | +- `git commit -m "This commit corrects the mistake"` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +To undo the last two commits, use the commands: |
| 48 | +- `git add .` |
| 49 | +- `git commit -m "This commit is a mistake"` |
| 50 | +- `// make changes` |
| 51 | +- `git add .` |
| 52 | +- `git commit -m "This commit is another mistake"` |
| 53 | +- `git reset HEAD~2` |
| 54 | +- `git add .` |
| 55 | +- `git commit -m "this commit corrects both mistakes"` |

| 69 | +<em>To Check the commit Tree:</em> |
| 70 | +</summary> |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +- Run `gitk` or `gitk --all` to visualize the commit tree. |
| 73 | +- `git log` show commit logs. |
| 74 | +</details> |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +- **Rebase:** |
| 77 | + - `git fetch main`: Fetch the latest changes: |
| 78 | + - `git rebase upstream/main`: Rebase onto the upstream branch |
| 79 | +</details> |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +- Avoid committing unnecessary files: |
| 83 | + - Avoid using `git commit -a`, which commits everything. |
| 84 | +- Use targeted commit commands: |
| 85 | + - Use `git add` to stage specific files. |
