# Check out a branch
git checkout branchname

git checkout remotes/origin/branchname

# Check out a specific commit
git checkout 158e4ef8409a7f115250309e1234567a44341404

git checkout HEAD

# ^ means 'first parent commit,' therefore the second-most recent commit in the master branch
git checkout master^

# If it's a merge commit, with more than one parent, this gets the second parent
git checkout master^2

# Same thing as three ^ characters - three 'first-parent' steps up the tree
git checkout master~3

# The first commit prior to a day ago
git checkout master@{yesterday}

# The first commit prior to 5 minutes ago
git checkout master@{5.minutes.ago}
