recover/undo previous git reset --hard
- use git reflog to show history
- use git reset --hard <hash> to recover the old files
If you want to revert changes made to your working copy, do this: git checkout .
If you want to revert changes made to the index (i.e., that you have added), do this.
- Warning this will reset all of your unpushed commits to master!: git reset
reset --soft a specified file with path git reset <commitid> -- path/to/file
If you want to revert a change that you have committed, do this: (it will generate a new revert commit in git log) git revert <commit 1> <commit 2>
If you want to remove untracked files (e.g., new files, generated files): git clean -f
Or untracked directories (e.g., new or automatically generated directories): git clean -fd
checkout remote branch to local with diff name git checkout -b <local_branch_name> <remote_name>/<remote_branch_name>

Merge / Conflict

fix conflict by accepting others/ours

git checkout --theirs <conflicted_file>
git checkout --ours <conflicted_file>

stash

stash specific files
- git stash -- <file>
speed up clone: git clone https://github.com.cnpmjs.org/xxxxx/xxxxxxx.git
Fatal: Refusing to merge unrelated histories New repo was created via UI with init commit. At the same time, git add at local and with another init commit. When git pull at local, git treats those two as diff trees since they don't have same origin. Solution 1: using git clone to clone repo to local Solution 2: git pull origin [repo] --allow-unrelated-histories

force pull a repo to overwrite local changes

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull --force # not work if repo has forced push

bisect - Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug
- Get good with git: bisect

force overwrite local untracked files

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master

change message of last commit
```
git commit --amend
```

merge multiple commits into one

# approach 1
git reset --soft HEAD~n
git commit --amend
# approach 2
git rebase --interactive HEAD~n
# or
git rebase -i <commit#>
# then should pick ealy commit and squash later commit
git rebase --continue
# push to remote repository forcely
git push origin <branch> --force

edit a pushed commit message

git rebase -i '<commitno>^'
# change pick to be edit, save
git commit --amend
git rebase --continue
git push --force

edit last committed message

git commit --amend
git push --force    # if pushed already

stop tracking a file/directory

git rm [-r] --cached filename/[directory_name] # --cached will keep the removed file locally
or
git update-index --assume-unchanged filename

HTTP github clone on Windows error with message error setting certificate verify locations

git config --system http.sslverify false   # this will switch off the ssl verify for ALL http connections

checkout or pull a folder/file instead of the whole repository

mkdir myrepo
cd myrepo
git init
git remote add -f origin github/aidysun/repo.git
git config core.sparseCheckout true
echo "folder_a/" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull

roll back specific file

# undeleted files
git checkout <commit> -- path/to/file
# file were deleted and committed
#    1. find the commit deleted the file
git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- <deleted_file_path>
#    2. checkout to the previous commit of commit deleted the file
git log -- <deleted_file_path>
git checkout <delete_commit>^ -- <deleted_file_path> 
#or
git checkout <before_delete_commit> -- <deleted_file_path>

rollback a specific history commit
- git revert undo the effects of only a certain commit
- git reset is used to undo/delete all commits that came afterwards
```
# rollback to <commit> and force push, ** histories will be deleted in log as well **
git reset --hard <commit>
git push origin master --force
```
- For local changes, rollbace/rebase one commit
- git rebase -i xxxxx^

show history and diff with file names

git log --stat --oneline
git diff --name-only
git log -- file.ext     # by file
git log -p              # print patch, source diff 
git show <commit_no>    # show specific comment
git log --grep="smth"   # filter by message
git shortlog            # group my author

un-stage a file, won't delete from local workspace

git reset -- <file>


this won't actually un-stage a file, it just works for the new files that staged.
it stages the removal file from the repo but leaves the file in your working tree
git rm --cached

rename a tag

git tag new_tag old_tag
git tag -d old_tag
git push origin :refs/tags/old_tag  # this delete tag remotely, another way is git push --delete origin old_tag
git push --tags
# other to get the new tags
git pull --purne --tags

```
git cherry-pick <commit_no>
```

submodule

add - NOTE: .gitmodules should be committed for tracking
```
git submodule add http....
```

clone / update submodules

when clone

git clone --recurse-submodules https://main-repo

after clone (if --recurse-submodules was forgotten)

git submodule update --init    # which is a combination of following two steps
git submodule init
git submodule update

show submodules status
```
git config status.submodulesummary 1
```

update submodules to latest

git submodule update --init --recursive --remote [subModuleName]
git submodule update --remote     # would update existing submodule to latest

how to remove a submodule

0. mv a/submodule a/submodule_tmp
1. git submodule deinit -f -- a/submodule    
2. rm -rf .git/modules/a/submodule
3. git rm -f a/submodule

Reinit all local submodules / cleanup messed submodules
1. remove all submodules in .git/config
2. empty folder .git/modules/*
3. empty real path of submodules (may refer to the pathes in .gitmodules)
4. git submodule update --init --recursive

.git

UML

Class relationship

extension : <|--
composition : *--
aggregration : o--

Composition v.s. Aggregation

Composition
- Composite aggregation is a subtype of aggregation relation with characteristics as:
  - It is a two-way association between the objects.
  - It is a whole/part relationship.
  - If a composite is deleted, all other parts associated with it are deleted.
- The folder could contain many files, while each File has exactly one Folder parent. If a folder is deleted, all contained files are removed as well.
- Folder "1" *-- "many" File
Aggregation
- Let us consider an example of a car and a wheel.
- A car needs a wheel to function correctly, but a wheel doesn't always need a car. It can also be used with the bike, bicycle, or any other vehicles but not a particular car. Here, the wheel object is meaningful even without the car object. Such type of relationship is called UML Aggregation relation.
- Car "1" o-- "many" Wheel : aggregation

Regexp

search words not included: (?!notincludeword), (?!word\b)
search two words accross multiple lines: (?:\n.*?){0,2}
- (?:\n.*?) match anything including line break
- {0,2} match times range
- e.g. search for class....data at most 22 lines
```
(class.\{)(?:\n.*?){1,22}data
```
