Useful Git CLI Command

These are a few useful git command that I have learned:

To see all & delete the branch with prefixes, make sure to change PREFIX and $3 accordingly.

Bash

index

git branch -r | awk -F/ '/\/{PREFIX}/{print $2 "/" $3}' # To list out all the branch before delete
git branch -r | awk -F/ '/\/PREFIX/{print $2 "/" $3}' | xargs -I {} git push origin :{} # to delete

Reset commit that did not sync yet
Bash
index
```
git reset ~HEAD
```

Delete github branch

Bash

index

git push -d <remote_name> <branchname>   # Delete remote
git branch -d <branchname>               # Delete local

Rollback and completely remove previous commit

Bash

index

# 1. Move back to commit A
git checkout <commit-A-hash>

# 2. Create a new branch (optional but safer)
git checkout -b rollback-to-A

# 3. Force push to overwrite remote main branch
git push origin HEAD:main --force
