A quick cheatcheet for common git commands

new repo

1. Create repo:
    git init
2. Add all files in directory:
    git add .
3. Commit changes with message:
    git commit -m "message"
4. Add remote repo:
    git remote add origin git@<host>:repo.git
5. Push to remote server: 
    git push -u origin master

reset to most recent commit

git reset --hard

set name/email

You can configure an individual repo to use a specific user / email address.

git config user.name "Your Name Here"
git config user.email your@email.com

set global name/email

The default user / email is configured in your ~/.gitconfig

git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email your@email.com

nuke and restart

This will overwrite everything. Be careful.

1. Delete the .git directory locally. 
2. Recreate the git repostory
    $ cd <project-directory>
    $ git init
    $ <add some files>
    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m 'commit message'
3. Push to remote server, overwriting. `
    git remote add origin <url>
    git push --force
