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)
Huh, TIL.
To be fair,
git switch
was also derived from the features ofgit checkout
in >2.23, but likegit restore
, the manual page warns that behavior may change, and neither are in my muscle memory (lmao).I’ll probably keep using checkout since it takes less kb in my head. Besides, we still have to use checkout for checking out a previous commit, even if I learn the more ergonomically appropriate
switch
andrestore
. No deprecation here so…edit: maybe I got that java 8 mindset
git switch works on commits too. I don’t think you have to use checkout anymore.
Oh, you’re right. You just pass the
-d
detach flag. I stand corrected!
