Everyone can commit. Almost nobody can undo.
68 git entries with the part every other cheat sheet leaves out — why you reach for it, and the specific way it bites you. 64 examples were executed against real repositories on git 2.43, including recovering a commit after a hard reset.
Sound familiar?
If any of these are costing you time right now, keep reading.
- You hard reset, realised, and thought the work was gone
- reset --soft, --mixed and --hard are three words you have never been able to separate
- You committed to main instead of your branch and had to ask someone
- A rebase went sideways and you deleted the folder and re-cloned
- You have used --force on a shared branch and got away with it, so far
- reflog is a word you have heard and never typed
There's a simpler way.
The Git & GitHub Cheat Sheet — 68 entries. Not a list of commands — what each one does, why you reach for it, and the way it bites you.
Everything inside
- handbook.pdf — 68 entries across 10 sections, 77 pages
- wall-sheet.pdf — the whole toolkit on one page, built for printing
- examples/ — 68 ready-to-use files, one per entry, grouped by section
- Captured output on 64 examples — what git 2.43 actually printed
- A mental-model paragraph opening every section
- "Watch out" on every entry — the specific way each one bites people
- "See also" on every entry — the related flags worth knowing next
- Licence covering commercial use of every example file
- Free updates to the 2026 edition
Committing is the easy part. The moment something goes wrong — a hard reset you did not mean, a commit on the wrong branch, a rebase halfway through — most people either guess or delete the folder and clone again.
Most cheat sheets do not help with that, because a list of flags tells you what to type and never why. This one is built the other way round. Every entry answers four questions:
What it does — one sentence, in plain English.
Why you reach for it — the model underneath, so the next command becomes obvious instead of needing another search.
What it looks like — a complete, self-contained example.
How it bites you — the specific mistake people actually make with this one.
Every example was actually run. 64 of the 68 examples in this handbook were executed on git 2.43 while it was being built, and the box underneath each one shows exactly what the machine printed — not what somebody typed from memory. The same examples ship as files you can run yourself.
68 entries across 10 sections:
01 — Starting out and the three areas
02 — Seeing what changed
03 — Branching
04 — Merging and rebasing
05 — Resolving conflicts
06 — Undoing things
07 — Stash and temporary work
08 — Remotes and GitHub
09 — Pull requests and collaboration
10 — Digging yourself out
What you get:
handbook.pdf — 68 entries, 77 pages, a mental-model paragraph opening every section
wall-sheet.pdf — the whole toolkit on one printable page, built to live next to your monitor
examples/ — 68 ready-to-use files, one per entry, grouped by section
Your own licence — the example files are yours to use in your own work, including paid client work
Written for developers and students who use git every day and still hold their breath before pressing enter.

Questions people ask before buying
How is this different from the free Git & GitHub cheat sheets online?
Free cheat sheets are lists. They tell you what to type and nothing else, which is why you end up looking the same thing up every few weeks. Every entry here explains why you would reach for it and how it goes wrong, and every section opens with the model behind it. That is the part that makes it stick.
Is this for beginners?
No, and it does not pretend to be. It assumes developers and students who use git every day and still hold their breath before pressing enter — if you have never written any Git & GitHub, start with a tutorial and come back.
Were the examples actually tested?
Yes — 64 of the 68 were executed on git 2.43 while this handbook was built, and the output printed in the book is what those tools returned. The same examples are in the download as files you can run yourself and check.
What exactly do I get after I pay?
A single zip with four things: handbook.pdf (77 pages), a printable one-page wall sheet, an examples/ folder with 68 ready-to-use files, and your licence. Instant download, no waiting.
Can I use the example files in my own projects?
Yes. The licence covers using, modifying and building on every example file in your own projects and in paid client work. The only thing you cannot do is resell the handbook itself.
P.S. Still deciding?
It's a one-time payment of ₹49, delivered instantly. If it saves you even one afternoon, it has paid for itself.
