Useful things you can do with git.
- Cross-repository issue tagging:
- [org/repo#407]
- Reset local branch to match origin (throw away local commits):
git reset --hard origin/<branch_name>
- See diff between local and remote:
git diff origin/main..HEAD
- See files changed between local and origin after a fetch:
git diff --name-only ..origin
- See the log plus a diff for each commit that touched the named file:
git log -p <filename>
- See a list of which commits are on one branch but not another:
git log main..feature/#1854
- Prune local from remote:
git fetch --prunegit branch -vcheck for any branches marked "[gone]"git branch -d [branch name]on any orphaned tracking branches
- Delete local branches that have been pruned (have to run on Linux):
git branch --v | grep "\[gone\]" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs git branch -D
- Delete local branches removed on remote using an NPM package:
git-removed-branchesnpm install -g git-removed-branches- View the stale local branches:
git removed-branches - Delete the stale local branches:
git removed-branches --prune
- List files in a given path that changed in the last X days, that end with .css
git diff --stat "@{500.days.ago}" -- ./\*.css
- Stash local changes, pull new changes (rebases if needed), pops the changes back off the stash:
git pull --rebase --autostash
- Get a list of branches with Author:
git for-each-ref --format=' %(authorname) %09 %(refname)' --sort=authorname
- Determine if the right branch is ahead of the left branch in commits:
git rev-list --count main..releases/03.11.2020
- Push the current branch to the same name at origin:
git push -u origin HEAD
