specifying ranges

git reflog

git reflog reset

using tilde (~) and caret (^) combined
  • commit exclusions

    • ^<rev> (caret) notation :
      To exclude commits reachable from a commit, a prefix ^ notation is used.
      E.g. ^r1 r2 means commits reachable from r2 but exclude the ones reachable from r1 (i.e. r1 and its ancestors)
  • dotted range notations

    • .. (two-dot) range notation
      • r1..r2 : commits that are reachable from r2 excluding those that are reachable from r1 by ^r1 r2
    • ... (three-dot) symmetric difference notation
      • r1...r2 : called symmetric difference of r1 and r2
        It is the set of commits that are reachable from either one of r1 (left side) or r2 (right side) but not from both

commit

get revision number

[!TIP|label:the <value> can be:]

  • commit id
  • branch name
  • HEAD, HEAD~n, HEAD^^
$ git rev-parse <value>^{commit}

# i.e.:
$ git rev-parse HEAD
e06b245740ac0c73f9454b6d96758e3a4a804901

get abbrev commit ids

[!NOTE|label:references:]

  • rev-list

    $ git rev-list HEAD -n 3 --abbrev=11 --abbrev-commit
    446c656814d
    e747154df34
    22d0ee9b131
    
    # or via `git log`

  • rev-parse

    $ git rev-parse --short HEAD
    
    # or
    $ git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD
    
    # i.e.:
    $ git rev-parse --short HEAD
    e06b24574
    $ git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD
    e06b245
    

get previous commit id

$ git rev-list --no-walk <commit-id>^

get next commit id

[!NOTE] references:

$ git rev-list --no-walk <commmit-id>..HEAD | tail -1

branch

get current branch

  • full branch name

    $ git symbolic-ref HEAD
    refs/heads/main

rebase

[!TIP]

drop : `git rebase -i`
1.4.3.2 -- drop : `git rebase -i`
squash : `git rebase -i`
1.4.3.3 -- squash : `git rebase -i`

automatic edit by git rebase -i

inspired from .gitconfig & Is there a way to squash a number of commits non-interactively?

$ COUNT=$1
$ GIT_EDITOR="sed -i -e '2,$COUNT s/^pick /s /;/# This is the 2nd commit message:/d'" git rebase -i HEAD~$COUNT

git alias

  [alias]
    sq = ! "f() { TARGET=$1 && GIT_EDITOR=\"sed -i -e '2,$TARGET s/^pick /s /;/# This is the 2nd commit message:/,$ {d}'\" git rebase -i HEAD~$TARGET; }; f"

delete after push

delete only the latest commit

$ git push origin +<hash_for_delete>^:<branch>

# e.g.:

* cb46bdc
* 936543c

# delete cb46bdc
$ git push origin +cb46bdc^:master

delete multiple commits

  • revert local

  • push to remote

    $ git push [--force] origin +<branch>

revert deleted branches

[!TIP] references:

# find the HEAD of deleted branch
$ git log --graph --decorate $(git rev-list -g --all)

$ git checkout <sha>
$ git checkout -b /branch/name
  • or find out recent actions

    $ git reflog --no-abbrev

          xargs -n 1 git log -n 1 --pretty=oneline
    
  • show diff

    $ git log -p <sha>
    

revert single file to remotes

$ git checkout origin/<branch> -- <path/to/file>

revert changes in submodule

$ git submodule update -f --init

git reset File-level Unstage a file
git checkout Commit-level Switch between branches or inspect old snapshots
git checkout File-level Discard changes in the working directory
git revert Commit-level Undo commits in a public branch
git revert File-level (N/A)
