GIT Cheatsheet

Just a list of some git commands that can be useful in daily work. Very often it can be rather hard to remember all this commands and where this cheatsheet can be helpful. It covers only those commands and combinations that i consider usefull for me and defenitly there more amd more commands that someone else may consider irreplaceable.
