My current project at work requires a lot of little changes to build locally, changes which I can't push up to master.
My workaround is to create a branch with one commit containing those changes, git cherry-pick it into my current working environment, then git rebase -i to remove it from the changes I'm going to push.
Thanks for that information. I will do quick research on that commands and will sooner add them....😀

<3 this
It helped me a lot Thank You 🙏
Glad to hear that!
I think one git stash and git stash pop are also one of the most important commands.
Yup, they are indeed but they are used occasionally when you have to save the changes temporarily somewhere else. This blog was aimed to provide a cheat sheet to the beginners and intermidiates. I am planning to write about these commands in the next blog. so stay tuned :)
