git-tips/tips

git-tips is a community-maintained reference of "most commonly used git tips and tricks," as the description puts it. Git is the standard tool developers use to track changes in files and coordinate work across many people, and over time it has accumulated a very large surface area of commands and flags. This repository is essentially a single, scrollable cheat-sheet that pulls together useful command recipes for everyday situations, so you do not have to dig through manual pages when you hit a problem. The content is plain documentation, not running software. The README opens with a long table of contents grouped by topic, basic operations, branching, log and history, and so on, and each entry links to a short snippet of git commands that solves a particular task. The covered recipes include things like quickly switching to the previous branch, undoing local changes, rewording the previous commit message, staging just parts of a changed file, cherry-picking commits across branches, restoring a deleted file, listing branches already merged into a main branch, bisecting to find which commit introduced a bug, and many more. There are also community translations linked at the top, in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Nepali, Polish, and Farsi, and a companion command-line tool called git-tip that lets you browse the same tips from the terminal, the README notes the commands were tested against a specific older git release. You would use this as a quick lookup when you are mid-task and trying to remember the exact incantation for a git operation, or as a learning aid to discover patterns you did not know existed.
