Common Operations

# View status
git status

# Stage changes
git add .                    # All
git add path/to/file         # Specific

# Commit
git commit -m "type: message"

# View history
git log --oneline -20

# See who changed a line
git blame path/to/file

# Undo last commit (keep changes)
git reset --soft HEAD~1

# Stash changes
git stash
git stash pop

# Rebase on main
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main

Golden Rules

• Never commit directly to main
• Keep commits atomic (one logical change)
• Write meaningful commit messages
• Review diff before committing
• Pull/rebase before pushing
