Git commands

Below I list several Git commands which may be of use especially if you are a novice.

1) git init – initializes Git
2) git commit -m "commit-message" – commits changes and adds a message
3) git add -u – updates all changes
4) git branch branch-name – creates a new branch
5) git checkout branch-name – changes the selected branch to the one named in this command
6) git flow feature start my-feature – starts a new feature called "my-feature," based on 'develop', and checks out this feature
7) git flow feature finish my-feature – finishes a feature called "my-feature," that is: merges the feature into the 'develop' branch, deletes the feature branch, and checks out 'develop'
8) git stash – hide the current uncommitted changes and save them until later
9) git config --list – shows all current settings 
10) git commit --amend -m "New commit message" – amends last commit message 

Important notes:

• -m is message, and after that you add the message in inverted commas (-m "your message").
