Commands

Config

git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email "your_email@youremail.com"
git config color.ui true
git config format.pretty oneline
git config --global push.default matching
  (will be default soon)

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'

The credential helper only works when you clone an HTTPS repo URL. If you use the SSH repo URL instead, SSH keys are used for authentication.

Repo config

• git config receive.denyCurrentBranch warn - allow pushing to a non-base repo

git repo-config core.sharedRepository true - allow access by multiple users

git branch -a
  list branches (including remote)
git branch <branch>
  create branch
git branch -d <branch>
  delete branch

git rebase <branch> - fast-forward merge current to <branch> (?)
git diff master <branch> - show difference between master and another branch

git branch --set-upstream master origin/master
  Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.
