Git Cheat Sheet

Seeing all the files changed, when seemingly nothing changed?

Ignore File Permission changes in Linux

git config core.fileMode false

Getting stuck with pulls?

When pulling, if you have unstaged changes:

git pull --rebase --autostash

Delete all local branches

git branch --merged | grep -v \* | xargs git branch -D

Do not want to see line endings?

Just set them as-is.

git config --global core.autocrlf input

... or for windows:

git config --global core.autocrlf true
