git branch <branch_name> # Create a new branch

git checkout <branch_name> # Switch to a branch

git checkout -b <branch_name> # Create and switch to a new


branch

git merge <branch_name> # Merge a branch into the current


branch

git branch -d <branch_name> # Delete a branch


git branch -D <branch_name> # Force delete a branch

5. Working with Remote Repositories

git remote -v # View remote repositories

git remote add origin <url> # Add a remote repository

git push -u origin main # Push to a remote repository (first


time)

git push # Push changes to the remote repo

git fetch # Fetch latest changes from remote

git pull # Pull latest changes from remote

changes

git revert <commit_id> # Create a new commit to undo a

git diff # Show changes in working directory

git diff --staged # Show changes staged for commit

git diff <branch1>..<branch2> # Compare branches

10. Cherry Picking

git cherry-pick <commit_id> # Apply a commit from another


branch

11. Git Rebase & Squash

git rebase <branch> # Reapply commits on top of another


branch

git rebase -i HEAD~3 # Interactive rebase (squash commits)
