git log -10 --pretty --oneline

git switch -c "new_branch"
Did you make the changes in the wrong branch?
This command creates a new branch and moves all your changes to the newly created branch.
git switch "branch_name
The same as above, but it moves the changes to an existing branch.
git log --graph --oneline --decorate --all
An ASCII art tree of all the branches, decorated with the names of tags and branches.
git commit --amend
Edit the last commit message and save the commit. If you have already pushed the code, push again by using --force flag to make changes to remote repository.
Create shorter git commands with git aliases.
To add new ones, use the following command git config --global alias.[insertYourShortcut] [gitCommand].
These are mine:
git config --global alias.c checkout
git config --global alias.st status
git config --global alias.cm 'checkout master'
git config --global alias.b branch
git config --global alias.c checkout
git config --global alias.ci 'commit -m'
git config --global alias.p pull
git config --global alias.cb 'checkout -b'
git config --global alias.sc 'switch -c'
To easily display your git aliases run this command in your terminal - ! git config --get-regexp ^alias\. | sed -e s/^alias\.// -e s/\ /\ =\ /.
Now you can use git alias to list all the aliases you have created.
