Simple Git Hacks that do the Job

=> CHANGE COMMIT MESSAGE

  • Change commit message if not pushed to remote repo yet(local repo)
    --> git commit --amend -m "New commit message."

  • but if pushed to remote repo already:
    --> git rebase -i HEAD~3

  • the above code shows the last 3 commits and an interactive window opens up for you to edit the commit message.(if it is vim, you can use 'i' to insert and 'esc' to exit insert mode and ':wq' to save and quit)

--> git push --force origin main

  • the above code pushes the changes to remote repo with the new commit message.

=> REMOVE FOLDER FROM A REMOTE REPO

--> git rm -r --cached FOLDERNAME
--> git commit -m "FOLDERNAME removed from remote repo"
--> git push origin main

=> Undo a change with "git add ."

--> git reset
