git branch -v [--list]
    get branches with hashes.

git branch -a
    show all branches

git branch -r
    show remote-only branches

git ls-remote -v
	.. remote
    show-branch

git checkout -b <branch name>
    checks out a branch [branch-to-start-from]
git branch -d <branch-to-delete>
    delete a branch
git branch -D <branch-to-delete>
    force deleting a branch despite of non-merged data
git push <remote-name> :<branch-name>
    delete a remote branch


Orphan branches:
git checkout --orphan <name>
    git rm -rf .
        to clean up staging after that
    ... gh-pages ...
    later we can access such orphan-branch from github pages via (<username>.github.com/<prjname>)

Remotes:
git remote show
    origin

    remote show <remote-name>


    remote [-v]
    origin ... (fetch)
    origin ... (push)

    remote add <remote-name> <url>



git remote add <nick> git://...repo.git
git fetch <nick>
git push <nick> master[or other branch name here]
  now git remote should list public
  git remote show public ...

Note:
    remote can be a local FS path (/...)

pull = fetch + merge
    also shows the latest branches available

Checkout:

git checkout <local-branch-name>

git checkout --track <remote>/<branch-name>
    create a branch which will track remote branch
    --track is needed if you have more than one remote, otherwise - by default


REBASE:

interactive:
git rebase -i <branch/commit/tag> 

auto:
git config --global branch.autosetuprebase always
git config branch.7.x.rebase true

protection

(to disable  git push --force):
git config --system receive.denyNonFastForwards true


Maintanance:
check the peepcode
    gbrt
ruby script (branches, sorted by time)
