My GitHub Cheat Sheet

Some git commands that I’ve been using the most while working with projects on GitHub:

Standard stuff:

git add file.ext
git status
git commit -am "Message"
git push origin master

To create a patch:

git clone git://github.com/user/project.git
cd project
git checkout -b fix_something
(fix that something)
git commit -a -m "Fix something"
git log
git format-patch master --stdout > fix_something.patch

To tag:

git tag -a v1.2.3 -m "Tag v1.2.3"
git push --tags git@github.com:user/project.git

To merge from another branch:

git remote add --track master project git://github.com/otheruser/otherproject.git
git remote
git fetch project
git merge project/master
(resolve any conflict)
git commit -a -m "Merge from otheruser/otherproject"
git push git@github.com:youruser/yourproject.git

To bisect:

git bisect start
git bisect good a1217cdc2e05dfd5672b
git bisect bad HEAD
git bisect run command.sh
