git log

Suppose you are working on some project, the conflict error occured again and again when you were trying to push. So, you decided to use rebase and move ahead with the problem but you needed to git see the commit history before you could use git rebase so what command did you need to use?

git log <branch-to-rebase-onto>..HEAD

where <branch-to-rebase-onto> is replaced with the branch where I have to rebase it onto(generally it's origin/master)

git stash

I was trying to setup an environment for some open source project, which needed installation of Vagrant. While doing the setup of the environment, I went through several Errors!
I solved some with the help of my helpful brother and some on my own but then in the end, I figured out that some Changes that I made in my configuration file for Vagrant were not suitable for pushing to the origin of the main repository for that open source project.

In Short, there were some Changes specific for my own system(not suitable for a public repository)

Now I needed to add my changes to git commit without adding that configuration file, which command did I use to ignore that particular file?

git stash

If you want to reapply the changes back to the working directory, use this command👇

git stash pop

Stash Apply

There was a time when I wanted to restore some previously stashed work to a new Branch using git, How did I do it?

The answer is this👇

• Create a New Branch:

git checkout -b new_branch_name

• Apply Stashed Changes:

git stash apply

or

I can use this👇

git stash branch new_branch_name

where branch and new_branch_name are the branches from which you are taking stashed changes from and the branch you are pushing it to respectively

Tags:

Tags are necessary to mark specific points the history of the commits!
Releases are one important example

To push tags to a remote repository:

git push origin <tagname>

replace tagname with whatever tag you want to paste

git diff:

To review the changes that are currently staged (in the index) before committing them, use this👇

git diff --cached
