Julia Evans' Git cheat sheet (programming.dev)

submitted 1 month ago by fool@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev

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)

You should not be struggling most of the time when using the CLI. Basic uses is just as easy as any GUI. Learning the commands might be a bit more involved and you need to be a bit more proactive about it. Anything you need to do 30+ times a day you should be over the learning curve of and can just execute them just as quickly if not quicker than using GUI. Especially when you look at tab competition and the reverse history search.

But what using the CLI more often does teach you is how to lessen that initial learning curve. Making you quicker at finding the new commands you need and how they work slowly building up your tool belt of knowledge about the commands you do look up.
