Github tricks

update my branch with last changes from develop branch

• ensure all changes in your branch are commited
• git fetch
• git rebase origin/develop

view diffs from my branch to an specific branch

• git diff origin/develop

make changes to an existing commit to update a branch

• git rm <path to file> - removes unrequired files before commiting
• git checkout origin/develop <path to file> - resets files to previous state after commiting
• git commit -am "new changes" - sends new commit with appending changes

reset current branch

• git reset --hard <remote>/<branch_name>

no merging, no rebasing, simply put the local branch to exactly the same state as the remote is.
