git

• Initialize bare repository

  $ cd ~/src
  $ git init .
  

• Amending the commit message which is not pushed

  $ git commit --amend
  

• Amending the commit message which is pushed to remote branch

  $ git push <remote> <branch> -f
  

• Undo a git add - removing files staged for a git commit:

  $ git reset HEAD <file_name>
  

  or

  $ git rm --cached <file_name>

  $ git diff --staged

  $ git diff <branch_1> <branch_2>
