Git stuff I don't want to forget

git.md

fetch a remote branch

git checkout --track origin/daves_branch

Undo a commit from a few commits ago that was pushed up to github. Be warned that if you do this everyone will have to basically blow away their local copy of the repo and do a fresh git pull.

git rebase -i HEAD~4 
git push --force

That will show all the commits going back 4 and let you pick which ones you want to keep. A better way might be to delete the files, then you wont be rewriting history

git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r d6598094535cdfbfd41a3e8c77b9f6711a7ad8c7
