Useful git commands

Branch

# git checkout correct-branch
​

git pull origin feature_abc
Clone
Git clone private repo
git clone https://myemail%40gmail.com:[email protected]/my-group/my-repo.git
Where:
myemail%40gmail.com means [email protected] and it is your username;
123456 is your password;
Fork
Keeping a fork up to date
Clone your fork
git clone [email protected]:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git
Add remote from original repository in your forked repository.

Manage credentials
Store credentials permanently
git config credential.helper store
Store credentials on cache
To avoid providing the same credentials every time, you may enable the Git credentials cache through the following command:
git config --global credential.helper cache
The default cache expiry timeout is 900 seconds (15 minutes) and can be changed with the --timeoutoption as follows:
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=300'
If you want the daemon to exit early, forgetting all cached credentials before their timeout, you can issue an exit action:
git credential-cache exit
Module
Remove submodule
mv a/submodule a/submodule_tmp
git submodule deinit -f -- a/submodule    
rm -rf .git/modules/a/submodule
git rm -f a/submodule
​
# or, if you want to leave it in your working tree and have done step 0
# git rm --cached a/submodule
mv a/submodule_tmp a/submodule
