Git commands that I find personally useful and use often

My favo "most useful" git commands

#!/bin/bash

# GIT create branches local/remote:

git checkout -b my-new-branch
git push -u origin my-new-branch
git checkout --track origin/my-new-branch

# GIT delete branches local/remote:

git branch -d -r origin/some-branch
# detailed branch listing (local/tracking)
git branch -avv
git branch -d some-branch

# EASY WAY TO CLEANUP UNUSED/STALE LOCAL/REMOTE BRANCHES:
git fetch origin --prune

# WAY TO "GIT STASH POP WITH 'FORCE'" (from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3733698)
git stash show -p | git apply -3 && git stash drop

# CLONE ONLY MASTER AND AFTER THAT ADD SPECIFIC BRANCHES
# Clone/pull and track only a single branch (master), not any other branches in the repo
git clone https://github.com/someone/something.git -b master --single-branch
# Add a specific remote branch to the local repo, and check it out as a tracking branch
# (see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27860061)
git remote set-branches --add origin some-branch
git checkout --track origin/some-branch


# REBASE AND PUSH "WITH LEASE" (https://dev.to/maxwell_dev/the-git-rebase-introduction-i-wish-id-had)
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout some-branch
git rebase master
git push --force-with-lease origin some-branch
# Then merge to master - use 'temp branch' for checking (see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7484199/how-to-test-a-merge-without-actually-merging-first/18701022)
git checkout master
# Use a temp branch: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21828024
git checkout -b trial_merge
git merge some-branch
# Now check the diffs between 'trial_merge' and 'mater' (or, if the merge was a "fast forward" then we can assume that all is fine ...)
git checkout master
# Next, delete the temp branch and perform the actual merge (and push the master branch)
git branch -D trial_merge
git merge some-branch
git push origin
