Exam Grade Distribution

● git cherry-pick <commit>● Like a mini rebase● It applies the changes of one commit to

your location● Can be used to select a single bug-fix

git cherry-pick

● Given branch with 3 commits● git rebase -i HEAD~3● Doesn’t work as you would expect● --root

Rebasing with the First Commit

● The reflog keeps track of updates to branches

● Allows us to reconnect dangling branches

git reflog

Undoing Rebase????!?!?!?!? WHAT!

● <commithash> or <partialcommithash>● <refname>● @{} - uses reflog

○ @{yesterday} ○ @{n}

● ^{n} - nth parent● ~{n} - nth generation ancestor

● A..B select commits in a range

Specifying Commits

● Hashing● Hooks● Bisect● Filter-branch● github pages
