Git

To install git make sure to have homebrew installed. Run brew install git in the Terminal and you are set.

Useful Git Commands

git ls-remote | list remote branches

git config --global --edit | edit conf file

git commit --amend --reset-author | fix indentity used.

If you ever run in trouble like I do the following will help you out.

rm -rf directory-name | Removes a directory with contents

rm -rf .git | Removes git from directory. Make sure that you absolutely need to this, it will delete everything from branches to commits.

git reset --hard HEAD | This will bring you back to your last commit and will ignore any new changes made after.

git branch -d branch-name' | Deletes a branch.
