# to show commits that changed file
git log --follow [file]

# to show diff on A that are not on B
git diff branchB...branchA

# to show any object in human readable format

#to show all commit logs with indication of any paths that moved
git log --stat -M

Share and Update:

# add git URL as an alias

# to fetch all the branches from that git remote
git fetch [alias]

# to merge remote branch into current branch

# to transmit local brach commits to remote repo brach 
git push [alias] [brach]

# to fetch and merge any commits
git pull

Rewrite History:

# apply any commits to current brach ahead of specified one
git rebase [branch]

# to cleare staging area, rewrite working tree from spcified commit
