Here is list and syntax of some important git commands that every developer must konw to use git version control effectively

• Syntax
• Example

*** get checkout from git repository ***

- git add .
- git commit -m "your comment"
- switch to branch(if required)
- git checkout branch_name

*** create and switch to new branch: ***

- git checkout -b new_branch_name
- git add .
- git commit -m "your comment"
- git push origin branc_name

*** to push code ***

- git add .
- git commit -m "your comment"
- git push origin branc_name

*** pull code (to get latest code) ***

- git add .
- git commit -m "your comment"
- git pull origin master

*** init new repo ***

- cd existing_folder_name
- git init
- git remote add origin "url that end with .git"
- git add .
- git commit -m "Initial commit"
- git push -u origin master

*** create a new repository on the command line. ***

- git init
- git remote add origin https://github.com/my_company/my_app.git
- git add README.md
- git commit -m "first commit"
- git branch -M master
- git push -u origin master

*** push an existing repository from the command line. ***

- git remote add origin https://github.com/my_company/my_app.git
- git branch -M master
- git push -u origin master

*** remove remote origin. ***

- git remote remove origin

*** change/update remote origin. ***

- git remote set-url origin git://new.url.here

*** reomve local commit from history. ***

- git reset --soft HEAD^1

*** delete local and remote branch ***

-Rename the local branch to the new name
    -If you are on the branch you want to rename:
     git branch -m new-name

    -If you are on a different branch:
     git branch -m old-name new-name
 
-Delete the old branch on remote - where <remote> is, for example, origin
  git push <remote> --delete <old_name>

-Or shorter way to delete remote branch [:]
  git push <remote> :<old_name>

-Prevent git from using the old name when pushing in the next step.
 Otherwise, git will use the old upstream name instead of <new_name>.
  git branch --unset-upstream <new_name>

-Push the new branch to remote
  git push <remote> <new_name>

-Reset the upstream branch for the new_name local branch
  git push <remote> -u <new_name>
