Git Cheat Sheet for Web Development Teams Check current repo status git status
See commit history (compact) git log --oneline --graph --decorate
git add .
git add path/to/file
Commit staged changes with a message git commit -m "Describe what you changed"
Commit all tracked changes (skip staging) git commit -am "Quick commit message"
🟧 Syncing With the Team (Fetch, Pull, Push) Download new commits from origin without merging git fetch
Fetch + merge remote changes into your branch git pull
Push your local commits to the remote branch git push
Push a new branch to the remote git push -u origin branch-name
🟪 Branching (Team Workflow) git branch feature/my-task
git checkout feature/my-task
Create AND switch to a new branch git checkout -b feature/my-task
git branch -a
Merge another branch into your current one git merge branch-name
Abort a merge if things go wrong git merge --abort
🟨 Undoing Mistakes (Safe Resets) Unstage a file (keep changes) git reset HEAD path/to/file
Undo last commit but keep changes staged git reset --soft HEAD~1
Undo last commit and unstage changes (keep working copy) git reset --mixed HEAD~1
Hard reset to last commit (dangerous: discards changes) git reset --hard HEAD~1
🟫 Stashing (Pause Work Without Committing) Stash your uncommitted changes git stash
Apply the most recent stash git stash apply
git stash list
🟩 Useful Extras
See what changed in a file git diff path/to/file
Remove a tracked file from Git but keep it locally git rm --cached filename
git clone
