Useful Git commands

Change branch Name in git

// If you're currently on the branch you want to rename-
git branch -m new_name 

// Or else-
git branch -m old_name new_name 

// You can check with-
git branch -a

// As you can see, only the local name changed Now, to change the name also in the remote you must do-
git push origin :old_name

//This removes the branch, then upload it with the new name:
git push origin new_name

Initialize Git repository with different name than main/master

// "hello" will be the name of the repo
git init -b hello

Remove remote url

git remote remove origin

Set new remote url

git remote set-url origin git://new.url.here

Revert last commit after pushed to remote

git revert <previous label or sha1>

Reset fork to Upstream

git remote add upstream /url/to/original/repo
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git reset --hard upstream/main  
git push origin main --force 

Visualize git graph

git log --all --decorate --oneline --graph

Create a new branch and push to remote

git checkout -b <branch>

# Edit files, add and commit. Then push with the -u (short for --set-upstream) option:
git push -u origin <branch>

# Git will set up the tracking information during the push.

Force Push on Github

git push origin main -f
#or
git push -f

Git Squash using rebase -i

git checkout <branch_name>
git rebase -i HEAD~<Count> # count could be anything like HEAD~4

# Then editor will show up 
# replace "pick" with "s" or "squash" and then Press ESC and type :wq to save and exit
# then another edior will show up to edit the commit messages
# remove all the commit messages except the first one
# save it using ESC forward by :wq 
# then you need to force push it to the github
git push -f # Force push

Find unused npm packages in package.json

Reference

You can use an npm module called depcheck (requires at least version 10 of Node).

Install the module:

 npm install depcheck -g

 or

 yarn global add depcheck

Run it and find the unused dependencies:

depcheck

The good thing about this approach is that you don't have to remember the find or grep command.

To run without installing use npx:

npx depcheck

# To remove non-empty directories and all the files without being prompted, use rm with the -r (recursive) and -f options:

Exit from Vim editor

#press "Esc" and than 
#if esc doesnt work it means you are on easy mode use "control" + "o"
:wq #to save and quit
:q #to quit
:q! #to force quit
