#GIT: THE LESSER KNOWN GREATEST HITS ##git stash: saves the current state of the working directory, but reverts back to the HEAD commit ##git stash apply: add stashed state to the current working directory/branch ##git shortlog: summarizes the git log output (https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-shortlog.html) ##git commit --amend: use this to amend/replace the most recent commit or commit message ##git reset --hard: resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree since are discarded. ##git reset --soft: does not touch the index file or the working tree at all (but resets the head to , just like all modes do). This leaves all your changed files "Changes to be committed", as git status would put it. ##git reset --hard HEAD~2: sets your current branch back to point at and sets your files back to same point
