GitHub Desktop or Git CLI?

I don’t understand git anyway
fckreddit, Well, you learn four commands and hope for the best.
Valmond, fetch, reset --hard, checkout -b and cherry-pick?
:-D
muix, (edited ) More like clone, pull, commit, and push --force
>:-D
Valmond, push origin head
^^
xmunk, Nah,
rebase -i,squash,fsckandreflog
Valmond, reflog saved my life once after a stupid misshap.
All rebase are belong to us (onto, rebase, and ofc interactive) but what’s fsck (I don’t squash personally)?
xmunk, Fsck is File System Check - realistically you should never need to use it.

Must be an interesting work if you never
add,commitorpush.Edit: How the hell did you get the repo without
clone?
xmunk, Pshaw, real programmers write out the contents of
.gitby hand.(Also, it was a joke, the last two commands I listed are ones you’ll ideally never need in your life)
overcast5348, I was scared of reflog too. Had to use it for the first time recently after I accidentally’d a branch that I hadn’t pushed to remote yet. I was so glad that I could recover it all in <5 commands.

Title text: If that doesn’t fix it, git.txt contains the phone number of a friend of mine who understands git. Just wait through a few minutes of ‘It’s really pretty simple, just think of branches as…’ and eventually you’ll learn the commands that will fix everything.
popcar2,
- git pull
- git add *
- git commit -m “Some stuff”
- git push
And occasionally when you mess up
- git reflog
- git reset HEAD@{n} (where n is where you wanna roll back to)
And occasionally if you mess up so hard you give up
- git reset --hard origin/main
And there you go. You are now a master at using git. Try not to mess up.

RePierre, I was looking for someone to mention Magit. It just rocks!

This + org-mode are enough for me to switch to Emacs.
