Top Underrated Git Commands

Here are the most important commands in git , and their description .

git reset –hard origin/master 

Resets your Local Repo with HEAD

git reflog

git cherry

Note: Cherry and Cherry-pick are two different commands, Cherry displays a list of commit differences between branches/remotes

git cherry-pick

Adds a commit to your current branch.

git shortlog

git shortlog

Everyone of us must be knowing what git logs can do , Today lets trick it out a advanced feature of Git log.
Lets take an example , Some one have merged master with staging and pushed accidentally.
I want to know who did it , who merged the changes because git will say the commit author name.
To do so we need to run

git log --pretty='%T %s --Commiter: %cn --Author: %aN'

Other method would be to open gitg and check author and committer name.
Author name is who changed the content in file and commiter is who merged or changed the commit history to your branch.
