22) Show difference:

git diff source-branch target-branch

23) To view the log/changes:

git log

git help
Git

27) To go back to the previous commit/changes:

git reset --hard
Git

28) List stashed files:

git stash list
Git

29) Come out of stash (write working from the top of stash stack):

git stash pop
Git

30) Discard stashed changes:

git stash drop
Git

31) Going back to HEAD:

git reset --soft HEAD
Git

32) Going back to the commit before HEAD:

git reset --soft HEAD^
Git

33) Equivalent to "^":

git reset --soft HEAD~1
Git

34) Going back two commits before HEAD:

git reset --soft HEAD~2
Git

35) To see the list of available tags:

git checkout v0.0.1
Git

36) To set the current tag to v0.0.1:

git tag -a v0.0.3 -m “version 0.0.3”
Git

37) To create a new tag:

git push –tags
Git

38) To delete the file from your working directory:

git rm file-name
Git

39) To show the metadata and content changes of the specified commit:

git show commit-name
Git

40) To delete a branch:

git branch -d branch-name
Git

41) To delete a branch forcefully:

git branch -D branch-name
Git

Note: This will force deletion of the branch, even if it contains unmerged/unpushed commits.

42) Search the working directory for "add()":

git grep "add()"
Git

43) List of branches:

git branch
git branch --list
Git

44) Undo the changes:

git log --oneline
git revert commit-id
Git

45) To delete a file forcefully:

git rm -rf file-name
Git

To get the Git version:

git --version
Git

How to add a project to GitHub Repository?

  • Create a project on your local machine.
  • Create a GitHub Repository 
  • Open the Git Bash go to the path where the project folder exists and type these commands,
    git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repository-name.git
[Note : Make sure you are in correct repository using : git remote -v]
git add .
git commit -m "commit-message”
git push origin master --force
[provide your username and password]
    Git
  • Now go to GitHub Repository and check your Repository. 

Conclusion

In this article, we have seen the list of commonly used Git commands. Hope you find this helpful. In addition to these commands, there are a lot of other commands including different options. Comment below with the commands you frequently use. Thank you

What is Gini Impurity?

  Gini Impurity A measurement used to build Decision Trees to determine how the features of a dataset should split nodes to form the tree. What is Gini Impurity? Gini Impurity is a measurement used to build Decision Trees to determine how the features of a dataset should split nodes to form the tree. More precisely, the Gini Impurity of a dataset is a number between 0-0.5, which indicates the likelihood of new, random data being misclassified if it were given a random class label according to the class distribution in the dataset. For example, say you want to build a classifier that determines if someone will default on their credit card. You have some labeled data with features, such as bins for age, income, credit rating, and whether or not each person is a student. To find the best feature for the first split of the tree – the root node – you could calculate how poorly each feature divided the data into the correct class, default ("yes") or didn't default ("no&quo

Artificial Neural Network Interview Questions

  Artificial Neural Network Interview Questions 1. Explain Neural Network?  Neural Network is a sequence of an algorithm that gives its best to recognize the underlying relationship in a data-set through a process. The artificial neural network has several differences from biological brains. These networks play a crucial role in deep learning.    2. Explain Biological Neural Network and Artificial Neural network? Biological Neural Network  is prepared with the help of real neurons. Our nervous system is made via neurons and brain. A biological neural network is our nervous system in which neurons are linked with each other. Human has a mind to understand and can operate any task in a particular situation, but how can a robot do that? For that purpose, an artificial brain is designed, which is known as  Neural Network . The human brain has neurons to transfer the information or data. Similarly, the neural network has nodes to perform the task. Nodes are the mathematical functions. 3. Wh

20+ Questions to Test your Skills on Logistic Regression

Image
1. What do you mean by the Logistic Regression? It’s a classification algorithm that is used where the target variable is of categorical nature. The main objective behind Logistic Regression is to determine the relationship between features and the probability of a particular outcome. For Example,  when we need to predict whether a student passes or fails in an exam given the number of hours spent studying as a feature, the target variable comprises two values i.e. pass and fail. Therefore, we can solve classification problem statements which is a supervised machine learning technique using Logistic Regression. 2. What are the different types of Logistic Regression? Three different types of Logistic Regression are as follows: 1. Binary Logistic Regression:  In this, the target variable has only two 2 possible outcomes. For Example,  0 and 1, or pass and fail or true and false. 2. Multinomial Logistic Regression:  In this, the target variable can have three or more possible values witho
