Julia Evans' Git cheat sheet (programming.dev)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Git cheat sheets are a dime-a-dozen but I think this one is awfully concise for its scope.

Visually covers branching (WITH the commands -- rebasing the current branch can be confusing for the unfamiliar)
Covers reflog
Literally almost identical to how I use git (most sheets are either Too Much or Too Little)

Missing the "oh shit need to fix this other thing but I am in the middle of a big change,,," flow. I use git stash, but I wish I could include files that haven't been added and I wish it could be tied to the branch

That sounds like the perfect situation to use git worktree.

I've stopped using stash and mostly just commit to my working branch. I can squah that commit away if I want later. But we squash before merge so it doesn't tend to be worth it.

It's just less things to remember.
