‘git checkout -‘ to toggle between branches ‘git checkout -b branch_name’ to create and switch to a new branch.

Obligatory https://ohshitgit.com/

I use git commit --amend --no-edit often.

Like if I forget to run a formatter before I commit and the build complains just for that.

git add -u
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push -f

before every git command i use:

tar -czvf my_directory.tar.gz -C my_directory .

I still haven't adopted to this git switch thing

make sure to run

cd ..
cp -r my-project my-project.bak
cd my-project

before running each command :)
