This cheatsheet has been moved to Obisidian for now. Don't make edits here!!!!! Cheatsheet for git, rails, unix etc.

Jsonb AR querying:

  • Open load all github files that are not loaded.
document.querySelectorAll('.load-diff-button').forEach(node => node.click())

Git

  • Version of git

    git --version

  • View user name and email for current user:

    git config user.name

    git config user.email

  • Change user name and email for current repository:

    git config user.name "Gagan"

    git config user.email "blah@blah.com"

  • Change user name and email for all repositories:

    git config --global user.name "Gagan"

    git config --global user.email "blah@blah.com"

  • Set the colors for git:

    git config --global color.ui true

  • Set default pager for git

    #Default is less. Setting to '' will stop the use of pager
    git config --global core.pager ''
    
Remote
  • Add a git remote:

    git remote add <remote-name> gt@giturl.git

  • Remove a git remote:

    git remote rm <remote-name>

  • View git remotes: git remote -v

Pulling, adding, committing and related commands
  • To add the same file in patches, so that they can be committed under different commits:

    git add filename -p

  • To stage all the files that are delete locally:

    git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)

  • To see the difference of files that are staged

    git diff --cached or git diff --staged

  • To see more context than just 3 lines in a git diff

    git diff -U7

  • To change your last commit message do

    git commit --amend

  • To push from a branch to github do

    git push origin <local-branchname>(:<remote-branchname>)

  • Dry run your push

    git push --dry-run origin <local-branchname>(:<remote-branchname>)

    It is often better to test out what changes will happen with you push. The options to use to do that is --dry-run

Listing files
  • deleted files:

    git ls-files --deleted

  • all untracked files:

    git ls-files -o

  • all files that git has ignored:

    git ls-files --exclude-standard

  • untracked files that git doesn't ignore (i.e. all new files):

    git ls-files --other --exclude-standard

  • Files that match a pattern:

    git ls-files vendor*

  • Removing ignored file from the repository:

    To delete a file from the repository but keep it in your working directory (this might come in handy when the file has been ignored)

    git rm --cached <file>

Clean

Remove untracked files dry run: git clean -n

clean untacked files

git clean -f

OR rm -r $(git ls-files --other --exclude-standard)

clean untracked files and directories

git clean -f -d

git clean untraced files including ignored files

git clean -f -x

options -d removes directory -n dry-run, -f force, -x remove files ignored by .gitignore

Reverting
  • To revert changes done to a particular file in a particular commit you can use the command.

    git checkout <sha-of-commit> <path-to-file>

Checkout
  • When in the middle of conflict while merging branches

    And you want to keep the changes in a file as the were in the trunk:

    git checkout --ours index.html

    or you want to keep changes in a file as they were in the branch:

    git checkout --theirs layouts/default.html

tagging
  • Adding a tag git tag -a '<tag-number>' -m 'tag-message'

  • push all tags git push --tags

  • delete tag locally git tag -d <tag-number>

  • delete a tag in the repository that has been remove locally git push origin :refs/tags/<tag-number>

  • add a tag to the sha git tag <tag-number> <sha-of-commit> -m "message of tag"

branching & merging
  • To see all branches including all branches (ie local and remote):

    git branch -a

  • To create a new branch from a particular commit that exists in the log of current branch

    git branch branchname sha-of-commit

  • Delete a branch in repository that is deleted locally

    git push origin :feature/sass i.e. add colon before the branch name

  • Create a branch from a previous commit: git branch branchname <sha1-of-commit>

  • List existing remote branches: git ls-remote --heads

  • Use a mergetool to help resolve conflicts git mergetool

gui
  • Git's Graphical user interface git gui
bisect
  • Find the commit that introduces a bug using git bisect. See http://robots.thoughtbot.com/git-bisect git bisect start

    git bisect good <sha-of-good-commit>

    git bisect bad <sha-of-bad-commit>

    git bisect run rspec spec/features/my_broken_spec.rb #To automate the bisect feature.

Log
  • To view recent commit on the current branch with each commit on one line git log --pretty=oneline

    git ref log

  • View changes in one branch that do not exist in the other git log branch1 --not branch2

  • You can use the -- option in git log to see the commit history for a file, even if you have deleted the file git log -- [file_path]

    See http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Git/article.html#retrievefiles_finddeletedfile

    You can use the above to find the commit which deleted a file and the browse the code at that commit in github.

Heroku:

  • To push develop to heroku

    git push heroku develop:master

  • Add a remote to heroku repo url

    heroku git:remote -a appname

  • Get a local dump for a pg database on heroku:

    curl -o latest.dump $(heroku pgbackups:url)

  • Get pgbackup url

    heroku pgbackups:url

  • Restore pg database from a url:

    • NOTE: If you are going to restore a whole database from a dump, it makes sense to first clobber the existing one using heroku pg:reset. You can potentially hit some migratino problems otherwise.

    heroku pgbackups:restore CRIMSON 'http://s3.url.com' --remote staging

  • To drop / reset the database

    heroku pg:reset DATABASE

  • Deleting precompiled assets to force all assets to get precompiled again

    heroku repo:purge_cache -a <appname>

  • If you have the following errors when pushing to heroku:

    error: RPC failed; HTTP 500 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error
    

    use heroku repo:reset -a <appname>

  • See running sql statements on the database:

    heroku pg:ps --app dg-api-production

Node and npm

  • Upgrading npm

    [sudo] npm i -g npm

  • To make sure my local npm files are in alignment with the the files in the respository:

    npm i -g npm
    rm -rf node_modules/
    npm i
    
    • To install a package to a specific version and update package.json and package-lock.json see following example:
      npm install eslint@4.18.2
    

    Learn more about --save and --save-dev to make updates locally to node_modules when running the aforementioned command.

    • Audit security issues:
    npm audit
    

    To fix security issues use

    npm audit fix
    
    • Running eslint I had trouble running eslint using npm run eslint. I also had trouble runniing it with ./node_modules//bin/eslint . .

    I had to run it using ./node_modules/bin/eslint app/ --ext es6.

3k3:3

  • Listing all tables
