Git cheat sheet

Posted on June 26th, 2009 by David Luhman and tagged .

My own personal cheat sheet of useful Git commands.

diff

git diff --stat --staged (staged in 1.6+, cached in older)

Differences between HEAD and index (i.e., shows changes that have been staged)

git diff -U1 --stat

Reduces the context lines around differences to one line for shorter display. Puts summary (stat) at start of diff.
