Git: The most commonly used git commands

On my daily bases working with git (DVCS), I found that the most common commands I am using every time are the following commands.

And I have made some aliases for some of them for eases of access and use; check this link on how to make aliases or shortcuts for your commands.

Command	Work description
add	Add file contents to the index. When new or modified files are ready for the next commit, they must first be staged with the add command. Files can be staged one by one, by folder name, or by wildcard pattern.
bisect	Find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
branch	List, create, or delete branches
checkout	Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
clone	Clone a repository into a new directory
commit	Once all desired files are added and staged, a commit command transactionally saves the pending additions to the local repository.
diff	Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
fetch	Download objects and refs from another repository
grep	Print lines matching a pattern
init	Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one
log	Show commit logs
merge	Join two or more development histories together
mv	Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
pull	Fetch from and merge with another repository or a local branch
push	Update remote refs along with associated objects
rebase	Rebasing is the rewinding of existing commits on a branch with the intent of moving the branch start point forward, then replaying the rewound commits. This allows developers to test their branch changes safely in isolation on their private branch just as if they were made on top of the mainline code, including any recent mainline bug fixes.
reset	Reset current HEAD to the specified state
rm	Remove files from the working tree and from the index
show	Show various types of objects
status	Show the working tree status, and check the current status of a project’s local directories and files, such as modified, new, deleted, or untracked.
tag	Git provides tagging to mark a specific commit in your timeline of changes, and serve as a useful identifier in history. A tag can be created for any commit in history by passing the commit hash. If no commit hash is provided, the most recent commit (i.e. HEAD) will be used by default.

For more information of each command and its related options, from command line on windows or terminal on Mac issue the following command

'git help ' to See more information on a specific command.

Git: Alias aka shortcut your GIT commands

If you are familiar with the concept of shortcuts for ease of command or data access, and you used to use such a facility at your daily working bases. You will not find this comes with GIT version control system.

By default, Git does not come with any shortcuts, but you can add your own by aliasing commands.

If you are coming from an SVN background, you will appreciate the following bindings:

Then instead of typing the following command $git commit -m "my first comment", it could be re-written as the following: $git ci -m "my first comment".

Any shortcut or aka alias for any Git command could be defined via Git global configuration as illustrated in the above commands snippet.

Learn more by running the git help config in your Git Bash prompt.
