Git cheat sheet: Stuff I always forget

See: http://documentup.com/skwp/git-workflows-book#

1. Create branch

2. Commit a temp "bookmark":

git commit -a -m "uncommit me: need to finish stuff in the user model"

1. Then uncommit:

git reset --soft HEAD^

1. Push to remote:

git push origin <branch-name>

1. If I'm working from another machine:

git checkout -t -b <branch-name> origin/<branch-name>

1. Merge branch into master:

git checkout master

git merge <branch-name>

1. Delete local branch:

git branch -D <branch-name>

1. Delete remote branch:

git push origin :<branch-name> or git push origin --delete <branch-name>

1. Change remote branch that a branch is tracking

Without deleting anything, using git up to v1.7.12:

git branch --set-upstream branch_name your_new_remote/branch_name

Using git v1.8.0 or later:

git branch branch_name --set-upstream-to your_new_remote/branch_name

Create branch

git checkout -b <branch-name>
