The Git Cheat Code — Every Daily Git Command, Explained So Simply You Can't Forget It

The companion to the 30-second video. Git is 4 boxes and 4 arrows — this is the whole map on paper, plus every command you'll actually type, one card each, in plain words. INSIDE (8 pages): (1) THE MAP — your files, staging, local repo, GitHub, and the four arrows between them; why git's three-step save is a feature, not a hazing ritual. (2) DAY ONE — git clone vs git init (you always start with exactly one), git status as your compass, git log, the one-time name/email setup, and the .gitignore do-not-track list. (3) THE DAILY LOOP — add (including add -p), commit with messages a stranger could read, push (and the -u first-push trick), pull vs fetch — and the whole workday in one line. (4) BRANCHES — switch -c, merge, the calm merge-conflict flow, and the habit that keeps main always shippable. (5) THE PANIC PAGE — undo anything calmly: restore, restore --staged, amend, revert for pushed commits, stash, and exactly when reset --hard is (and isn't) the answer. (6) THE 12 COMMANDS — the print-this recap table, each with its arrow on the map. All commands as documented at git-scm.com. Independent guide from Hyperautomation Labs.
