GIT tricks

Rebase squashing

git rebase -i e417ef2d # commit to the last commit before the ones you want to squash

Ignore locally without using gitignore

Add file to .git/info/exclude

Then run

git update-index --assume-unchanged file

Branches

Delete branch

Locally

git branch -d branch-name

Remote

git push -d origin branch-name

Reset local branch to origin

git reset --hard origin/master

Tags

Delete tag

Locally

git tag -d tagname

Remote

git push --delete origin tagname

Push tags after commit

git push origin --tags

List tags ascending

git tag --sort -v:refname
