+
+ - remote
+ git remote -v list remotes verbose (with URLs)
+ git remote show [-n] <remote> list info for <remote> (like remote HEAD, remote branches, tracking mapping)
+ -n show available info without contacting remote (offline mode)
+
+ - branching
+ git branch [-a] list available branches; -a to include remote branches
+ git branch -vv list branch & annotate with head sha1 & remote tracking branch
+ git branch <bname> create branch with name <bname>
+ git checkout <bname> switch to branch with name <bname>
+ git push -u origin <rbname> push branch to origin (or other remote), and setup <rbname> as tracking branch
+
+ - resetting
+ git reset [type] <ref|commit>
+ type:
+ --mixed resets index, but not working tree
+ --hard matches the working tree and index to that of the tree being switched to
+ any changes to tracked files in the working tree since <commit> are lost
+ git reset HEAD <file> remove file from staging
+ git reset --soft HEAD~1 delete most recent commit but keep work
+ git reset --hard HEAD~1 delete most recent commit and delete work
+
+ - tags
+ git tag -a <tname> -m "descr" creates an annotated tag (full object containing tagger, date, ...)
+ git tag -l list available tags
+ git checkout tag/<tname> checkout specific tag
+ git checkout tag/<tname> -b <bname> checkout specific tag in a new branch
+
+ - diff
+ git diff HEAD:<fname> origin/HEAD:<fname> diff files for different refs
+ git diff -U$(wc -l <fname>) <fname> shows complete file with diffs instead of usual diff snippets
+
+ - log
+ git log --oneline shows log in single line per commit -> alias for '--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit'
+ git log --graph text based graph of commit history
+ git log --decorate decorate log with REFs
+
+ - patching
+ git format-patch <opt> <since>/<revision range>
+ opt:
+ -N use [PATCH] even with multiple patches (default is [PATCH n/m]
+ where n is current commit num and m is total commit num in patch)
+ --start-number <n> start output file generation with <n> as start number instead '1'
+ since spcifier:
+ -3 e.g: create a patch from last three commits
+ <comit hash> create patch with commits starting after <comit hash>
+
+ git am <patch> apply patch and create a commit for it
+
+ git apply --stat <PATCH> see which files the patch would change
+ git apply --check <PATCH> see if the patch can be applied cleanly
+ git apply <PATCH> apply the patch locally without creating a commit
+
+ # eg: generate patches for each commit from initial commit on
+ git format-patch -N $(git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD)
+
+ # generate single patch file from a certain commit/ref
+ git format-patch <COMMIT/REF> --stdout > my-patch.patch
+
+ - <revision range>
+ HEAD last commit
+ HEAD~1 last commit-1
+ HEAD~N last commit-N (linear backwards when in tree structure, check difference between HEAD^ and HEAD~)
+ git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD first commit
+
