6 Handy Git Commands

when it comes to web development, im a traditionalist with certain things. homemade components. 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘦 css layouts. solving merge conflicts on vim. some call it inefficient, but sometimes it’s nice to write stuff manually in a field that can sometimes feel so automated. ⠀ also, github gui confuses the hell out of me so here’s old lady angela coming straight at ya with 6 of my 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨:

𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚒𝚝 --𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚍

great for squashing staged files into your last commit - perfect for someone like me who will commit “WIP” every two hours and end up with a 70 line commit history (@imsaurabhchavan can vouch for this)

𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚎 -𝚒 𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳~4

interactive rebase allows you to pick and choose which commits you can pick, squash, reword, edit, or fixup. heads up, you’ll need noob vim knowledge to use this

𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚐 -5 --𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚢 --𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎

prints the last 5 commits neatly on the terminal - you can change this number to anything

𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚕𝚘𝚐 -𝚜𝚗

pretty cool command that lists all users who contributed to the repo and sorts by commit counts

𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚒𝚏𝚏 --𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝 "@{0 𝚍𝚊𝚢 𝚊𝚐𝚘}"

command that shows how many lines of code you have written today

𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚐 -𝚂 𝚖𝚢𝚅𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎

looks for the addition or removal of a word (in this case, myVariable - you can change this to anything) in a commit but not in a commit message
