- param_name: user.name, user.email, core.editor
git config --list
- lists current configuration parameters
git config <param_name>
- lists the current value for the given parameter
git add
- updates the index using the current content found in the working tree, to prepare the content staged for the next commit
git reset
- resets current HEAD to the specified state
git fetch
- fetches named heads or tags from one or more other repositories, along with the objects necessary to complete them.
git push
- updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects necessary to complete the given refs
git pull
- Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch. In its default mode, git pull is shorthand for git fetch followed by git merge FETCH_HEAD.
