A curated collection of commonly used Git tips and tricks, available as a searchable markdown repository and an optional CLI utility. It provides concise command examples for everyday Git workflows.
Use cases
- quickly find the command to delete a remote branch
- learn how to amend the author of the last commit
- stage only parts of a changed file
- restore a deleted file from history
- switch back to the previous branch with a single command
- list all files up to a specific commit
- fetch a pull request by its ID into a local branch
When to choose
- You need a fast, searchable reference for Git commands without leaving the terminal.
- You prefer a lightweight, community‑maintained cheat‑sheet over official documentation.
- You want a CLI tool that can display tips directly in your shell.
When to avoid
- You are looking for a full‑featured Git GUI client.
- You need in‑depth tutorials or explanations of Git concepts.
- You require integration with IDEs or visual diff tools.
