Some git basic commands
Some basic git commands trying to explain in single line ..
git add --all (adds all modified and unstaged files)
git add docs/.txt (directoy and file formats to add)
git add docs/ (add all the files in the directory)
git add ".txt" (add all the files in the whole project)
Staging and remotes
git diff --staged (view staged difference)
git reset HEAD <filename> (unstage the files ,HEAD refers to last commit,current branch)
git checkout -- <Filename> (blow away all changes since last commit)
git commit -a -m "commit message" (-a add changes from all tracked files,doesn't add new untracked files)
undoing a commit (dont do these after push)
git reset --soft HEAD^ (soft -reset into staging.^ move to
commit before head i.e last commit)
git reset --hard HEAD^ (undo last commit and all changes .. only if something went horribly )
git reset --hard HEAD^^ (undo last 2 commits and all changes)
