Important GIT Techniques
To find the names of all files that were changed (deleted, modified or added) in a given commit git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r bd61ad98 To save those files' names to output.txt git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r bd61ad98 > output.tx ========================== Using diff2html-cli for generating preety diff between two commits: Install diff2html-cli: Install node first, In command line brew install node Then install diff2html-cli, in command line type: npm install -g diff2html-cli Run the command to find the diff.html file: git diff 8f8428f0d da63cef6c | diff2html -i stdin ============================= Scenario: You have cloned a project from github, you were working locally on it, changed the projects and commited to new local branch(Eg PostMethod). Now you want to also create a remote branch by same name(PostMethod) and push the local changes to that branch. git branch --set-upstream-to PostMethod origin/PostMethod
