Git command generator

A searchable, task-first Git cheat sheet: describe what you want to do — create a branch, undo the last commit, stash your work, squash, rebase, cherry-pick, force-push safely — and get the exact command with editable placeholders. Each is colour-coded by risk so you know which ones rewrite history or delete data.

Frequently asked questions

What is Git command generator?

A searchable, task-first Git cheat sheet: describe what you want to do — create a branch, undo the last commit, stash your work, squash, rebase, cherry-pick, force-push safely — and get the exact command with editable placeholders. Each is colour-coded by risk so you know which ones rewrite history or delete data.

What does a concrete case look like?

git reset --soft HEAD~1 — the tool shows every step in between, not just the final figure.

What does it take into account?

It factors in describe what you want to do — create a branch, undo the last commit, stash your work, squash, rebase, cherry-pick, force-push safely — and get the exact command with editable placeholders. Each is colour-coded by risk so you know which ones rewrite history or delete data. Change any of them and the output follows immediately.

When would I actually use this?

Finding out how big a thing will be before you make it: how many gigabytes an hour of footage takes, how long a file needs on the connection you have, how large a photo prints before it goes soft, what bitrate fits the budget you were given.

What is the most common mistake?

Taking the advertised connection speed as the transfer speed. A 100 Mb/s line is megabits, the file is in megabytes, and the eight-fold difference between them is where most download estimates go wrong — before overhead and contention take their own share.

What else is filed next to it?

ASCII Table Reference, Aspect ratio calculator and Audio file size calculator share its section. They are not variants of it — being filed together is not the same as being alike — but that is where to look if this turned out not to be the tool you wanted.

Where do the figures come from?

Byte prefixes follow the IEC convention where a kibibyte is 1 024 bytes and a kilobyte is 1 000 — drive makers use the second, operating systems often report the first, and a disk that shrinks on arrival is that gap and nothing else. Print sizing assumes 300 dpi unless you change it.
