Guides: Cool and unusual Git techniques

Please, add your favorite cool and unusual Git techniques to this guide!

git add --patch

Lets you commit specific lines rather than whole files.

git add --interactive

--interactive works very similar to --patch, but gives you much more flexibility in choosing what (untracked) files and/or hunks you want to stage.

git add manpage

git stash

Stash away the uncommited changes in your working directory to get a clean HEAD.

git stash manpage

Rebasing

Rebasing is neat for cleaning up commits, but you will generally not want to rebase already pushed commits – it becomes messy for others who are working on forks of your repository. If for some reason you really do want to repush rebased commits, you will need to git push -f.

git commit --amend

Add your changes to the last commit instead of a new one.

git commit manpage

git rebase --interactive

Rearrange, edit and squash commits.

git cherry-pick

Want to grab only one commit from someone else’s repository? First fetch their changes and then apply the individual commit with git cherry-pick 1111111 (where 1111111 is the beginning of the sha1 hash of the commit you want to apply).

git cherry-pick manpage
