How do I undo my last Git commit?

Use git reset --soft HEAD~1 to undo the last commit while keeping your changes staged, or git revert to create a new commit that reverses an earlier one without rewriting history.

What is the difference between git fetch and git pull?

git fetch downloads remote changes but does not touch your working branch, letting you review first. git pull does a fetch and then immediately merges those changes into your current branch.

How do I create and switch to a new branch?

Use git switch -c (or the older git checkout -b ) to create a branch and move onto it in one step. git switch moves to an existing branch.

How do I discard uncommitted changes to a file?

Use git restore to throw away unstaged edits to that file, or git restore --staged to unstage it while keeping the edits. git restore . discards changes across the whole working tree.

How do I temporarily save work without committing?

git stash saves your uncommitted changes and gives you a clean working tree; git stash pop brings them back. Useful when you need to switch branches quickly.

How do I see my commit history?

git log shows full history; git log --oneline gives a compact one-line-per-commit view, and git log --graph --oneline --all visualises branches and merges.

Is anything I search or copy uploaded?

No. The entire cheatsheet and search runs in your browser, so nothing you type or copy is sent anywhere.

Git Commands Cheatsheet

This is a searchable reference of the everyday Git commands developers reach for — grouped by task, each with a plain-English description and a one-click copy button. It’s built for the moments when you remember what you want to do (“undo last commit”, “rename a branch”) but not the exact flag.

How it works

The commands are organised into topic groups: setup & config, staging & committing, branching, remotes & syncing, history & inspection, and undoing & recovery. Type into the search box and the list filters live, matching both the command text and its description — so searching “undo” surfaces git reset and git revert even though neither contains the word. Click Copy next to any entry to put the exact command on your clipboard. Everything is bundled into the page and runs in your browser; nothing you type or copy is sent anywhere.

Example

You committed too early and want to keep the changes but redo the commit. Search “undo”, and the cheatsheet surfaces:

Goal	Command
Undo last commit, keep changes staged	`git reset --soft HEAD~1`
Reverse a commit with a new commit	`git revert <commit>`
Discard unstaged edits to a file	`git restore <file>`
Save work aside temporarily	`git stash` then `git stash pop`

Copy git reset --soft HEAD~1, paste it into your terminal, and your last commit is undone with the changes still staged, ready to recommit. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
