Master Git Like a Pro – No More Confusion!

Whether you’re debugging a feature, collaborating with a team, or pushing your side project to GitHub – Git commands are your power tools! 💪

Here’s a real-world cheat sheet to boost your workflow: 👇

🔍 git diff – Check what’s changed before committing.

(Like previewing edits in a doc before saving.)

📝 git commit -a -m "msg" – Save your work with a clear message.

(Like hitting 'Save' in Word.)

♻️ git commit --amend – Fix that typo in your last commit message! 🛠️

📦 git add <file> – Stage files before committing.

(Putting files in the "commit basket.")

⚙️ git status – See where you stand.

(Think of it like a project dashboard.)

🌱 git checkout -b new-feature – Start a fresh branch.

(Like opening a new page for your next idea.)

📑 git checkout branch_name – Switch between tasks/branches.

(Just like swapping tabs.)

💼 git stash / git stash pop – Pause and resume your changes.

(Temporary save, like a draft.)

🚛 git pull / git fetch – Bring in updates.

(Like syncing with teammates' work.)

🚢 git push origin branch – Ship your code!

(Time to share your work with the world.)

🧬 git merge / git rebase – Combine work smartly.

(Choose merge for teamwork, rebase for clean history.)

⛔ git reset / git revert – Undo mistakes safely.

(Control-Z for your repo.)

🎯 git cherry-pick commit_id – Grab that one great commit from another branch.

(Like borrowing one perfect slide for your deck.)

🗑️ git branch -D branch_name – Clean up old branches.

(Tidy repo, tidy mind.)

🔗 git branch --set-upstream-to=remote_branch – Connect your branch to remote.

(Think: setting up sync.)
