Useful Git Commands

undo last rebase

1. Run git reflog and find first line from the top without rebase:
2. Take that line number, for instance: HEAD@{5}
3. Run git reset --hard HEAD@{5} to revert to the original state

undo last commit/merge

git reset --hard HEAD~1

undo the last commit and keep original files

git reset --soft HEAD~1

remove specific commit

git rebase --onto commitId^ commitId

push after rebase

git push -f

stash staged

1. Stage all your files you need to stash
2. Run git stash --keep-index. This command will create a stash with ALL of your changes (staged and unstaged), but will leave the staged changes in your working directory (still in state staged).
3. Run git stash save "good stash"
4. Now your "good stash" has ONLY staged files
5. Now if you need unstaged files before stash, simply apply first stash (the one created with --keep-index) and now you can remove files you stashed to "good stash"

stash specific file

git stash push -m Message /path/to/file.ext

set git commit char

git config --global core.commentChar ";"
