Useful git commands

This gist is for collecting git commands I don't use often enough to remember, but probably waste too much time trying to find when I need them.

git commit --amend

Edit Last Commit Message - PUSHED

git commit --amend

git reset filename.txt

git-rename_branch_local_and_remote.md

git-reset_to_commit-id.md
