GIT Commands

The following is a reference and examples of some GIT commands commonly used. This can serve as a cheat sheet.

Set Remote
Set the repository used for push and pull - the remote. Normally the remote is "origin", but this can be confirmed in the ".git/config" file.
```
git remote set-url origin https://you.domain/repo
```
List Branches
```
git branch -a
```
Restore Files From “.git” Folder
```
git reset --hard HEAD
```
Change Branch
```
git checkout BRANCH
```
Create Branch
```
git branch BRANCH
```
Delete Branch
```
git branch -d BRANCH
```
Force Delete Branch
```
git branch -D BRANCH
```
Merge Branch
We will switch to the branch we want to merg INTO - the target. So if we are going from branch into master, check out master, then merge. Note that the “--no-ff” option will preserve the branch in the history so it’s not linear (preferred as we can see what was done).
```
git checkout TARGETBRANCH
git merge --no-ff SOURCEBRANCH
git push
```
Roll Repo Back to Prior Commit
```
git checkout COMMIT_SHA
```
Roll Repo to Current Latest Commit
```
git checkout master
```
