Julia Evans' Git cheat sheet
Julia Evans' Git cheat sheet
Git cheat sheets are a dime-a-dozen but I think this one is awfully concise for its scope.
- Visually covers branching (WITH the commands -- rebasing the current branch can be confusing for the unfamiliar)
- Covers reflog
- Literally almost identical to how I use git (most sheets are either Too Much or Too Little)

git has 17 million options
proof needed /s
I wonder how many it actually is.
According to tab autocomplete...
$ git zsh: do you wish to see all 141 possibilities (141 lines)?But what about the sub options?
$ git clone https://github.com/git/git $ cd git/builtin # looking through source, options seem to be declared by OPT # except for if statements, OPT_END, bug checks, etc. $ grep -R OPT_ | grep --invert-match --count -E \ "OPT_END|BUG_ON_OPT|if |PARSE_OPT|;$|struct|#define" 1517Maybe 1500 or so?
edit: Indeed, maybe this number is too low.
git showhas a huge amount of possibilities on its own, though some may be duplicates and rewords of others.$ git show -- zsh: do you wish to see all 489 possibilities (163 lines)? $ man git-show | col -b | grep -E "^ -" --count 98An attempt at naively parsing the manpages gives a larger number.
$ man $(find /usr/share/man -name "git*") \ | col -b | grep -E "^ -" -c 1849Numbers all over the place. I dunno.
That's less than I expected. If there's 141 commands that on average comes down to 10 per.
