Config

Aliases:

git config --global alias.br branch
git config --global alias.ci commit
git config --global alias.cl clone
git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.df diff
git config --global alias.lg log
git config --global alias.pl pull

Use nice editor when commit:

git config --global core.editor <editor>

Always pull rebase:

git config --global pull.rebase true

Set default branch to main:

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

Always fetch/pull prune:

git config --global fetch.prune true

Commands

Prefer rebase when pull:

git pull --rebase

Clean outdated branches:

git fetch --prune

Push force safely:

git push --force-with-lease

Rewrite history by changing last x commits :

git rebase -i HEAD~<x>

Squash last x commits to 1 commit:

git reset HEAD~<x>
git add -A
git commit

Cleanup unnecessary files:

git gc

Find common ancestor:

git merge-base <A> <B>

Log:

git log --pretty=oneline
git log --graph --pretty=oneline
git log --date=human

Changelog:

git shortlog <commit>..HEAD

Clean untracked files and folders:

git clean -fd

# If afraid
git clean -fdn
