Git Cheat sheet:

Rename a branch:

Change the name in the local repo:

• go to old_name branch: $ git branch -m new_name
• or outside that branch: $ git branch -m old_name new_name

Then change the name to the remote repo:

• $ git push origin :old_name new_name

Delete a branch:

Delete locally:

• $ git branch -d branch_name

Delete remote:

• $ git push origin --delete branch_name

Add a new branch and populate to a remote repo:

• $ git init
• $ git remote add origin (REPO_LINK)
• $ git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
• $ git push --set-upstream origin main // continue even if you get an error
• $ git add .
• $ git commit -m "message"
• $ git branch new_branch_name
• $ git checkout new_branch_name
• $ git add .
• $ git commit -m "real message"
• $ git push

Copy the main branch to new_branch

• $ git checkout new_branch
• $ git checkout main . // With period
• $ git add --all
• $ git commit -m "Copy from main to new_branch"
• $ git push -u origin new_branch

"Duplicate" a branch to another repo:

• $ git remote remove origin
• $ git remote add origin (NEW REPO LINK)
• $ git push --set-upstream origin (branch_name)

Reset local branch to original remote branch

• $ git reset --hard origin/develop

Take a remote branch to local repo:

• $ git checkout -b (local_branch_name) origin/(remote_branch_name) // creates it
• $ git pull origin (remote_branch_name) // if it didn't pull automatically from the previous step

Work with submodules:

• Add from a current local repo
• Docs
