ssh-add -l
ssh-agent -k
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-add -l
git push

auto completion when you press tab key try to complete branch name

This is when you type tab key after enter some keyword , e.g. TK-12, which you expect the full branch name e.g. TK-1234-fix to be filled in command line automatically.

git remote remove origin
git remote add origin https://xxx

  • (2) Another reason would be your password or authentication expired, trying to create new token and add to your github account: take a look at : https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account

git ls-files -u

One line command to add, commit and push one changed file

git status --short | awk '{split($0, a);print a[2]}' | xargs git add && git commit -m 'commit changes' && git push origin BRANCH_NAME

to show files committed but not pushed

git diff --stat --cached origin/feature/BRANCH_NAME

git log --pretty=format:"%h [%an] %s" --graph --since=7.days --committer todd
  • -S keyword_of_filter_files
