1. `git rebase
  • Used to move or rewrite commits from one branch onto another.
  • Helps keep a cleaner commit history compared to git merge.
  • Example: sh git checkout feature-branch git rebase main
  • This applies all commits from feature-branch on top of main, making it look like they were developed in sequence.
  1. git stash
    • Temporarily saves your local changes without committing them.
    • Useful when you need to switch branches but don’t want to commit unfinished work.
    • Example: sh git stash
    • This saves your changes and resets the working directory.

3. git stash pop

  • Retrieves the last stashed changes and applies them back to your working directory.
  • Example: sh git stash pop
  • Unlike git stash apply, pop also removes the stash after applying it.

If you’re asking about git log in the context of a vlog (or video demonstration), here’s how you can use it effectively:

git log - Viewing Commit History**
git log` lets you see the history of commits in your repository. You can use different flags to customize the output:

Basic Usage:

git log
  • Shows a list of commits with details like commit hash, author, date, and message.

Enhanced Log Output (One-Line Format)**

git log --oneline
  • Displays commit history in a compact format: 
e5d1a0b Fix login issue
  a7f3c9d Add new feature
  1c4e7b2 Initial commit

Graph View (Great for Branch History) 

git log --oneline --graph --all --decorate
  • Displays a graph of branches and commits, useful for visualization.

Filter Commits (By Author, Date, or Message)

  • Show commits by a specific author: 
git log --author="John Doe"
  • Show commits within a date range: 
git log --since="2024-01-01" --until="2024-03-01"
  • Search commits by message: 
git log --grep="fix"

Using git log in a Vlog
If you’re making a video on git log, here are some ideas:

  1. Show a messy commit history → then clean it up with git rebase.
  2. Demonstrate branch merging → visualize it using git log --graph.
  3. Use git log --patch → show code changes alongside commits.

git commit - Saving Changes in Git

A git commit is how you save changes to your repository after staging them. It's like taking a "snapshot" of your code at a specific point.

Basic git commit Usage

  1. Stage changes (add files to be committed): 
git add file.txt
  1. Commit the staged changes: 
git commit -m "Your commit message"
  • The -m flag allows you to write a short message describing the changes.

More Advanced git commit Options

1. Commit All Changes (Without Staging) 

git commit -am "Commit message"
  • The -a flag commits all modified files (but not new files).

2. Edit the Last Commit Message 

git commit --amend -m "Updated commit message"
  • Useful if you made a typo or need to tweak the last commit.

3. Create a Multi-Line Commit Message 

git commit
  • This opens a text editor where you can write a detailed commit message.

4. Commit Without Opening an Editor 

git commit --no-edit
  • Useful when amending a commit without changing its message.

Undoing Commits

1. Undo the Last Commit (Keep Changes) 

git reset --soft HEAD~1
  • Moves the commit back to the staging area.

2. Undo the Last Commit (Discard Changes) 

git reset --hard HEAD~1
  • Warning: This deletes the last commit and all changes!

**Using git commit

If you're making a video about git commit, here are some ideas:

  1. Show how commits track progress (before and after changes).
  2. Demonstrate fixing a bad commit with git commit --amend.
  3. Explain commit best practices (clear messages, small commits).
