Frequently Asked Questions
How do I undo the last Git commit without losing my code changes?
Use `git reset --soft HEAD~1` to undo the commit while leaving your files modified and staged.
What is the difference between git merge and git rebase?
`git merge` creates a merge commit joining two branch histories; `git rebase` rewrites history by applying your branch commits on top of another branch.
How do I save temporary uncommitted changes without committing?
Use `git stash` to save uncommitted work to a temporary stack, and `git stash pop` to restore it later.
Is it free?
Yes, 100% free.
How do I change the last commit message?
Use `git commit --amend -m "New commit message"` to update the previous commit message.
How do I delete a local and remote Git branch?
Delete local branch with `git branch -d branch_name`; delete remote with `git push origin --delete branch_name`.
