20 Git Commands Every Developer Should Know

20 Git Command I Use All The Time — Git CheatSheet

A month or two ago, I wrote an article called How to Get Started with GitHub and Git [FoolProof]. If you have no experience with Git or GitHub, I strongly recommend you read it. By the end of that article, you should have a thorough understanding of how to use these tools for your own projects.

In this article, I just want to lay down a quick cheat sheet. It will include commands that I shared in that first article, but it will also include some new git commands. Recently, for various senior projects, I have been collaborating with different teams. There are a few commands that have become a staple for me.

So let’s get started:

1. git init This command is used to initialize a project as a git repository.

2. git remote add origin <link-to-github-remote-repo> Example:

git remote add origin https://github.com/kyledeguzmanx/sample-repo.git

This command is used to add or connect to a remote repository.

3. git remote This command is used to view connected remote repositories.
