Git Essentials Cheatsheet

Here's a reference list of commonly used Git commands:

Commands related to a remote repository:

• git clone git@github.com:USER-NAME/REPOSITORY-NAME.git
• git push or git push origin main

Commands related to the workflow:

• git add .
• git commit -m "A message describing the changes"

Commands related to checking status or log history:

• git status
• git log

The basic Git syntax is program | action | destination.

For example:

• git add . is read as git | add | ., where the period represents everything in the current directory.
• git commit -m "message" is read as git | commit -m | "message".
• git status is read as git | status | (no destination).
