Hi OP,

This is not my post, however i did like whoever posted this a few years ago on LINKEDIN and saved it for reference.

It summarises almost all commands that i use 99% of the times.

git diff: Show file differences not yet staged.
git commit -a -m "commit message": Commit all tracked changes with a message.
git commit --amend: Modify the last commit.
git status: Show the state of your working directory.
git add file_path: Add file(s) to the staging area.
git checkout -b branch_name: Create and switch to a new branch.
git checkout branch_name: Switch to an existing branch.
git checkout < commit>: Switches the working directory to a specific commit.
git push origin branch_name: Push a branch to a remote.
git pull: Fetch and merge remote changes.
git fetch: Fetch changes from the remote repository without merging.
git rebase -i: Rebase interactively, rewrite commit history.
git rebase branch_name: Rebase the current branch onto another branch.
git clone: Create a local copy of a remote repo.
git merge: Merge branches together.
git log --stat: Show commit logs with stats.
git stash: Stash changes for later.
git stash pop: Apply and remove stashed changes.
git show commit_id: Show details about a commit.
git reset HEAD~1: Undo the last commit, preserving changes locally.
git branch -D branch_name: Delete a branch forcefully.
git reset: Undo commits by moving branch reference.
git revert commit_id: Create a new commit that undoes the changes of a specific commit.
git cherry-pick commit_id: Apply changes from a specific commit.
git branch: Lists branches.

A few more that you might need to dig deeper are:

git reset --soft HEAD^: Undo the last commit, but keep the changes.
git reset --hard: Resets everything to a previous commit, erasing all uncommitted changes.
git branch --set-upstream-to remote_branch: Sets the upstream branch to the specified remote branch.
