Manually upgrading the vulnerable packages and running npm audit fix –force is going to have the same results. The only difference is that manually upgrading our packages will allow us to upgrade a single package, test for a breaking change, then update the next package, instead of just upgrading all of the packages at once, find a breaking change, then having no idea which package decided to screw things up.

ALways Set Details
Always set your details before you create or clone repositories on a new system. This requires two commands in a terminal window:
git config –global user.name “Your Name”
git config –global user.email “you@your-domain.com”
The *global* option means that the setting will apply to every repository that you work with in the current user account.
To enable colors in the output, which can be very helpful, enter this command:
git config –global color.ui auto

https://blog.prototypr.io/git-for-beginners-12-commands-you-need-to-know-e084cce9cc94
Basic Workflow Commands:
git clone <url>
You’ll need to do this just once for each repository you work with. You can use SSH or HTTPS. It makes an exact copy of the entire repository on your local machine.
\2. git status
This is the most important Git command for beginners (arguably for all Git users). It can prevent you from getting into a lot of trouble. It will also help you gain a deeper understanding of how Git works, because it allows you to see what is happening behind the scenes.
What does git status
do? It shows you everything you need to know about your current branch. It will show you:
- what branch you are currently on
- if your branch is up-to-date with the origin
- if you have any unstaged changes
- if you have any changes in your staging index that are ready to be committed (we will talk more about what a staging index is later)
- if you have any changes that have been committed but not merged
- useful tips on what to do with this information (Git can be very polite sometimes)
A quick look at my command line history shows that I run git status
about every third command. I have a lot of favorite things— my favorite amino acid is proline, my favorite color of Sour Patch Kids is yellow (I know, I’m a monster), and my favorite Git command is git status
.
Fig.1. Here, git status
shows me that I have modified two files (style.css and index.html) and added them to my staging index. I have also modified game.js (but I have not yet added those changes to my staging index).
\3. git diff
This will show you all the unstaged changes you have made. It’s different from git status
which just shows you the names of the unstaged files you have changed.
Pretty cool, huh? You can also do git diff --color-words
to see only the words you have changed. This can be helpful if you have made a lot of changes, because git diff
alone will highlight the entire line that has been changed. The output of git diff --color-words
is easier on the eyes.
If you add all your files to your staging index, and you run git diff
, you won’t see your change anymore. Don’t worry, you can run git diff --staged
to see all the changes to the files in your staging index.
\4. git checkout -b <branch-name>
This is how you make a new branch and switch to that new branch, all in one command. Your branch names should be short but meaningful.
If you made a typo in your branch name, or otherwise just want to rename it, you can do git branch -m <new-branch-name>
and that will rename your current branch.
\5. git add <file_name>
and git add .
Warning: use git add .
with caution! Never run git add .
without looking at your git status
first.
How does git add <file_name>
work? It adds your modified file to your staging index. If you have modified more than one file, git add .
will add all the files your have edited to your staging index.
With some twisted kind of Git sorcery, I have in the past accidentally added a whole bunch of files, including a whole bunch of changes that I didn’t actually make, to my staging index. This was terrifying. It’s not a huge deal, because you can unstage them with git reset HEAD <file_name>
, but it is avoidable by running git status
before adding anything to your staging index.
What the hell is a staging index? It’s where Git stores all your changes that are ready to be committed. If you’re into baseball, you can think of your staging index as being “on deck” and all your unstaged changes as being “in the hole” (if you’re not into baseball, forget I said that).
\6. git commit -m "<descriptive but short message about my commit>"
After running git add <file_name>
or git add .
, you must run git commit -m "<message>"
(or you can unstage your changes if you don’t want to commit them, see above). Most likely, you’re going to want to commit your changes.
What’s this message thing about? You must provide a message with your commit. This can be very helpful for you and your fellow programmers if you provide a quality commit message. Here are some guidelines about commit messages:
- keep commit messages short (under 50 characters)
- make your commit messages descriptive
- use the imperative mood (this just means make them sound like commands, so instead of “fixed, fixing, or fixes” just say “fix” )
Here are some examples of bad commit messages:
- “Fix stuff” (this tells me nothing, please don’t do this)
- “Adds test fixture” (this doesn’t use imperative mood, and it’s only slightly more descriptive than “fix stuff”)
Here are some examples of good commit messages:
- “Fix typo in contact us section of landing page”
- “Add test fixture for Canadian customer”
- “Update CSS button class to make buttons rounded”
\7. git push
This will push all your changes to the remote repository. You can think of this as uploading your changes.
After you git push
, you will probably (depending on your workflow) have to submit a pull request, get approval, and merge your changes to a master branch. This can all be done in a web browser with a program like GitHub or Bitbucket.
\8. git pull
If you think of git push
as uploading your changes, you can think of git pull
as downloading everyone else’s changes. Remember: you always pull down (download) before pushing up (upload).
After you have pushed your changes, it’s probably a good idea to hop on the master branch (you do this by running git checkout master
) and doing a quick git pull
, so you can develop on the most current version of master.
Tip: you can do both of these in one command by running git checkout master && git pull
. This will execute both commands in that order.
Workflow Summary:
You now have everything you need to successfully clone a repository, create a branch, make changes, and push those changes up to a master branch. Your workflow should look something like this:
git clone <url>
(clone a Git repository)- cd (change directory) into your newly cloned repository
git checkout -b <branch-name>
(create and switch to your new branch)git status
(the output of this should be pretty boring right now)- make your changes
git status
(you should see a list of the files you changed now)git diff
(make sure you actually want these changes)git add
(add your changes to your staging index)git status
(yes, it’s my favorite command, do it)git commit
(commit your changes)git push
(push your changes up to the remote branch)- merge your changes in Bitbucket or GitHub
git checkout master
(switch back to the master branch)git pull
(pull down the changes your just merged)git status
(just to make sure everything is nice and clean)- repeat! (except step 1, you only need to clone once)
Other Helpful Commands:
These won’t make-or-break your workflow, but they will make your life easier.
\9. git checkout -
The git checkout -
command lets you switch to the last branch you were on without actually typing the branch name. It’s like the “last” button on your remote control.
Warning: do not confuse git checkout —
with git checkout .
that would be a terrible mistake
\10. git checkout .
and git checkout <file-name>
This can be a bit confusing, because earlier I told you that git checkout -b <branch-name>
would create a new branch and switch you to that new branch. The git checkout .
command does something very different.
Let’s say you write a lot of code in many different files, and you decide it’s all garbage. The git checkout .
command will erase all your work. If you just want to erase all your work in one file, you can use git checkout <file-name>
.
Note that these two commands will only revert your unstaged changes. If you run git checkout .
, the files in your staging index will be untouched.
\11. git grep "<something you want to find>"
This command is invaluable, git grep
has saved my life so many times. It’s most helpful if you are working in a very large codebase. The git grep
command is like doing a Google search within your repository. GREP is short for “globally search a regular expression and print.”
Note: you can run grep
without the git
in front of it. I don’t recommend doing this unless you specifically want to search all the files that are gitignored in your codebase. It’s slow. It’s painfully slow. It moves like pond water.
Want something even faster? I recommend installing the Silver Searcher. I like the output better than git grep
, and you can do convenient things like ignore files you never want to search.
\12. git cherry-pick <sha-value>
This command will pick a commit from another branch and put it onto your current branch. It’s helpful if the changes you are making are dependent on changes in a different branch that haven’t been pushed up to master. It’s also helpful if something goes terribly wrong on your branch, and you need to create a new branch to get out of the dark Git hole you have found yourself in, but you want to keep the changes you have made.
Now is a good time to explain what a SHA value is — I thought about explaining it above, when I introduced the git commit -m "<message>"
command, but I went on a rant about imperative mood and commit messages instead.
A SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) value is generated every time you make a commit. You might also hear it referred to as a checksum or a hash value. It’s just a long string of letters and numbers that is unique to each commit (I’m writing about SHA values like they’re no big deal, but they are actually very cool — if you want to nerd out, you should go read more about SHA values).
If you do git log
, you will see a list of all the most recent commits in your repository and their corresponding SHA values. It will look something like this:
@:~/trivia-game <master>$ git log
commit 22b620b516f6157224b6d862e7b625e0f201ebb6 (HEAD -> master)
Author: Patricia Penton
Date: Fri Sep 29 09:33:22 2017 -0700Create assets directory and index.html
To cherry-pick a commit, you don’t even need the entire SHA value. You can use the first few characters, like so: git cherry-pick 22b620b51
(this will cherry-pick the commit from the example above).

Git Tutorial: 10 Common Git Problems and How to Fix Them
Published Oct 20, 2014Last updated Dec 19, 2018
Learning Git? This Git tutorial covers the 10 most common Git tricks you should know about: how to undo commits, revert commits, edit commit messages, discard local files, resolve merge conflicts, and more.
1. Discard local file modifications
Sometimes the best way to get a feel for a problem is diving in and playing around with the code. Unfortunately, the changes made in the process sometimes turn out to be less than optimal, in which case reverting the file to its original state can be the fastest and easiest solution:
git checkout -- Gemfile # reset specified path
git checkout -- lib bin # also works with multiple arguments
In case you’re wondering, the double dash (--
) is a common way for command line utilities to signify the end of command options.
2. Undo local commits
Alas, sometimes it takes us a bit longer to realize that we are on the wrong track, and by that time one or more changes may already have been committed locally. This is when git reset
comes in handy:
git reset HEAD~2 # undo last two commits, keep changes
git reset --hard HEAD~2 # undo last two commits, discard changes
Be careful with the --hard
option! It resets your working tree as well as the index, so all your modifications will be lost for good.
3. Remove a file from git without removing it from your file system
If you are not careful during a git add
, you may end up adding files that you didn’t want to commit. However, git rm
will remove it from both your staging area, as well as your file system, which may not be what you want. In that case make sure you only remove the staged version, and add the file to your .gitignore
to avoid making the same mistake a second time:
git reset filename # or git remove --cached filename
echo filename >> .gitignore # add it to .gitignore to avoid re-adding it
4. Edit a commit message
Typos happen, but luckily in the case of commit messages, it is very easy to fix them:
git commit --amend # start $EDITOR to edit the message
git commit --amend -m "New message" # set the new message directly
But that’s not all git-amend
can do for you. Did you forget to add a file? Just add it and amend the previous commit!
git add forgotten_file
git commit --amend
Please keep in mind that --amend
actually will create a new commit which replaces the previous one, so don’t use it for modifying commits which already have been pushed to a central repository. An exception to this rule can be made if you are absolutely sure that no other developer has already checked out the previous version and based their own work on it, in which case a forced push (git push --force
) may still be ok. The --force
option is necessary here since the tree’s history was locally modified which means the push will be rejected by the remote server since no fast-forward merge is possible.
5. Clean up local commits before pushing
While --amend
is very useful, it doesn’t help if the commit you want to reword is not the last one. In that case an interactive rebase comes in handy:
git rebase --interactive
# if you didn't specify any tracking information for this branch
# you will have to add upstream and remote branch information:
git rebase --interactive origin branch
This will open your configured editor and present you with the following menu:
pick 8a20121 Upgrade Ruby version to 2.1.3
pick 22dcc45 Add some fancy library
# Rebase fcb7d7c..22dcc45 onto fcb7d7c
#
# Commands: # p, pick = use commit
# r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
# x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell
#
# These lines can be re-ordered; they are executed from top to bottom.
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
#
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#
# Note that empty commits are commented out
On top you’ll see a list of local commits, followed by an explanation of the available commands. Just pick the commit(s) you want to update, change pick
to reword
(or r
for short), and you will be taken to a new view where you can edit the message.
However, as can be seen from the above listing, interactive rebases offer a lot more than simple commit message editing: you can completely remove commits by deleting them from the list, as well as edit, reorder, and squash them. Squashing allows you to merge several commits into one, which is something I like to do on feature branches before pushing them to the remote. No more “Add forgotten file” and “Fix typo” commits recorded for eternity!
6. Reverting pushed commits
Despite the fixes demonstrated in the previous tips, faulty commits do occasionally make it into the central repository. Still this is no reason to despair, since git
offers an easy way to revert single or multiple commits:
git revert c761f5c # reverts the commit with the specified id
git revert HEAD^ # reverts the second to last commit
git revert develop~4..develop~2 # reverts a whole range of commits
In case you don’t want to create additional revert commits but only apply the necessary changes to your working tree, you can use the --no-commit
/-n
option.
# undo the last commit, but don't create a revert commit
git revert -n HEAD
The manual page at man 1 git-revert
list further options and provides some additional examples.
7. Avoid repeated merge conflicts
As every developer knows, fixing merge conflicts can be tedious, but solving the exact same conflict repeatedly (e.g. in long running feature branches) is outright annoying. If you’ve suffered from this in the past, you’ll be happy to learn about the underused reuse recorded resolution feature. Add it to your global config to enable it for all projects:
git config --global rerere.enabled true
Alternatively you can enable it on a per-project basis by manually creating the directory .git/rr-cache
.
This sure isn’t a feature for everyone, but for people who need it, it can be real time saver. Imagine your team is working on various feature branches at the same time. Now you want to merge all of them together into one testable pre-release branch. As expected, there are several merge conflicts, which you resolve. Unfortunately it turns out that one of the branches isn’t quite there yet, so you decide to un-merge it again. Several days (or weeks) later when the branch is finally ready you merge it again, but thanks to the recorded resolutions, you won’t have to resolve the same merge conflicts again.
The man page (man git-rerere
) has more information on further use cases and commands (git rerere status
, git rerere diff
, etc).
8. Find the commit that broke something after a merge
Tracking down the commit that introduced a bug after a big merge can be quite time consuming. Luckily git
offers a great binary search facility in the form of git-bisect
. First you have to perform the initial setup:
git bisect start # starts the bisecting session
git bisect bad # marks the current revision as bad
git bisect good revision # marks the last known good revision
After this git will automatically checkout a revision halfway between the known “good” and “bad” versions. You can now run your specs again and mark the commit as “good” or “bad” accordingly.
git bisect good # or git bisec bad
This process continues until you get to the commit that introduced the bug.
9. Avoid common mistakes with git hooks
Some mistakes happen repeatedly, but would be easy to avoid by running certain checks or cleanup tasks at a defined stage of the git
workflow. This is exactly the scenario that hooks were designed for. To create a new hook, add an executable file to .git/hooks
. The name of the script has to correspond to one of the available hooks, a full list of which is available in the manual page (man githooks
). You can also define global hooks to use in all your projects by creating a template directory that git will use when initializing a new repository (see man git-init for further information). Here’s how the relevant entry in ~/.gitconfig
and an example template directory look like:
[init]
templatedir = ~/.git_template
→ tree .git_template
.git_template
└── hooks
└── pre-commit
When you initialize a new repository, files in the template directory will be copied to the corresponding location in your project’s .git
directory.
What follows is a slightly contrived example commit-msg
hook, which will ensure that every commit message references a ticket number like “#123
“.
ruby
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
message = File.read(ARGV[0])
unless message =~ /\s*#\d+/
puts "[POLICY] Your message did not reference a ticket."
exit 1
end
10. When all else fails
So far we covered quite a lot of ground on how to fix common errors when working with git
. Most of them have easy enough solutions, however there are times when one has to get out the big guns and rewrite the history of an entire branch. One common use case for this is removing sensitive data (e.g. login credentials for production systems) that were committed to a public repository:
git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch secrets.txt' \
--prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all
This will remove the file secrets.txt
from every branch and tag. It will also remove any commits that would be empty as a result of the above operation. Keep in mind that this will rewrite your project’s entire history, which can be very disruptive in a distributed workflow. Also while the file in question has now been removed, the credentials it contained should still be considered compromised!
GitHub has a very good tutorial on removing sensitive data and man git-filter-branch
has all details on the various available filters and their options.
Git - Why a fresh clone is not showing you most current version
I think your basic issue here is that you're misinterpreting and/or misunderstanding what git does and why it does it.
When you clone some other repository, git makes a copy of whatever is "over there". It also takes "their" branch labels, such as master
, and makes a copy of that label whose "full name" in your git tree is (normally) remotes/origin/master
(but in your case, remotes/upstream/master
). Most of the time you get to omit the remotes/
part too, so you can refer to that original copy as upstream/master
.
If you now make and commit some change(s) to some file(s), you're the only one with those changes. Meanwhile other people may use the original repository (from which you made your clone) to make other clones and change those clones. They are the only ones with their changes, of course. Eventually though, someone may have changes they send back to the original owner (via "push" or patches or whatever).
The git pull
command is mostly just shorthand for git fetch
followed by git merge
. This is important because it means you need to understand what those two operations actually do.
The git fetch
command says to go back to wherever you cloned from (or have otherwise set up as a place to fetch from) and find "new stuff someone else added or changed or removed". Those changes are copied over and applied to your copy of what you got from them earlier. They are not applied to your own work, only to theirs.
The git merge
command is more complicated and is where you are going awry. What it does, oversimplified a bit, is compare "what you changed in your copy" to "changes you fetched from someone-else and thus got added to your-copy-of-the-someone-else's-work". If your changes and their changes don't seem to conflict, the merge
operation mushes them together and gives you a "merge commit" that ties your development and their development together (though there is a very common "easy" case in which you have no changes and you get a "fast forward").
The situation you're encountering now is one in which you have made changes and committed them—nine times, in fact, hence the "ahead 9"—and they have made no changes. So, fetch
dutifully fetches nothing, and then merge
takes their lack-of-changes and also does nothing.
What you want is to look at, or maybe even "reset" to, "their" version of the code.
If you merely want to look at it, you can simply check out that version:
git checkout upstream/master
That tells git that you want to move the current directory to the branch whose full name is actually remotes/upstream/master
. You'll see their code as of the last time you ran git fetch
and got their latest code.
If you want to abandon all your own changes, what you need to do is change git's idea of which revision your label, master
, should name. Currently it names your most recent commit. If you get back onto that branch:
git checkout master
then the git reset
command will allow you to "move the label", as it were. The only remaining problem (assuming you're really ready to abandon everything you've don) is finding where the label should point.
git log
will let you find the numeric names—those things like 7cfcb29
—which are permanent (never changing) names, and there are a ridiculous number of other ways to name them, but in this case you just want the name upstream/master
.
To move the label, wiping out your own changes (any that you have committed are actually recoverable for quite a while but it's a lot harder after this so be very sure):
git reset --hard upstream/master
The --hard
tells git to wipe out what you have been doing, move the current branch label, and then check out the given commit.
It's not super-common to really want to git reset --hard
and wipe out a bunch of work. A safer method (making it a lot easier to recover that work if you decide some of it was worthwhile after all) is to rename your existing branch:
git branch -m master bunchofhacks
and then make a new local branch named master
that "tracks" (I don't really like this term as I think it confuses people but that's the git term 🙂 ) the origin (or upstream) master:
git branch -t master upstream/master
which you can then get yourself on with:
git checkout master
What the last three commands do (there's shortcuts to make it just two commands) is to change the name pasted on the existing label, then make a new label, then switch to it:
before doing anything:
C0 - "remotes/upstream/master"
\
\- C1 --- C2 --- C3 --- C4 --- C5 --- C6 --- C7 --- C8 --- C9 "master"
after git branch -m
:
C0 - "remotes/upstream/master"
\
\- C1 --- C2 --- C3 --- C4 --- C5 --- C6 --- C7 --- C8 --- C9 "bunchofhacks"
after git branch -t master upstream/master
:
C0 - "remotes/upstream/master", "master"
\
\- C1 --- C2 --- C3 --- C4 --- C5 --- C6 --- C7 --- C8 --- C9 "bunchofhacks"
Here C0
is the latest commit (a complete source tree) that you got when you first did your git clone
. C1 through C9 are your commits.
Note that if you were to git checkout bunchofhacks
and then git reset --hard HEAD^^
, this would change the last picture to:
C0 - "remotes/upstream/master", "master"
\
\- C1 --- C2 --- C3 --- C4 --- C5 --- C6 --- C7 - "bunchofhacks"
\
\- C8 --- C9
The reason is that HEAD^^
names the revision two up from the head of the current branch (which just before the reset would be bunchofhacks
), and reset --hard
then moves the label. Commits C8 and C9 are now mostly invisible (you can use things like the reflog and git fsck
to find them but it's no longer trivial). Your labels are yours to move however you like. The fetch
command takes care of the ones that start with remotes/
. It's conventional to match "yours" with "theirs" (so if they have a remotes/origin/mauve
you'd name yours mauve
too), but you can type in "theirs" whenever you want to name/see commits you got "from them". (Remember that "one commit" is an entire source tree. You can pick out one specific file from one commit, with git show
for instance, if and when you want that.)
N Behind 1A
If your branch is behind by master then do:
git checkout master (you are switching your branch to master)
git pull
git checkout yourBranch (switch back to your branch)
git merge master
After merging it, check if there is a conflict or not.
If there is NO CONFLICT then:
git push
If there is a conflict then fix your file(s), then:
git add yourFile(s)
git commit -m 'updating my branch'

Before you begin, if you are uncomfortable with a command line, you can do all the following steps using SourceTree, GitExtension, GitHub Desktop, or your favorite tool.
To solve the issue, you might have two scenarios:
1) Fix only remote repository branch which is behind commit
Example: Both branches are on the remote side
ahead === Master branch
behind === Develop branch
Solution:
-
Clone the repository to the local workspace: this will give you the Master branch which is ahead with commit
git clone repositoryUrl
-
Create a branch with Develop name and checkout to that branch locally
git checkout -b DevelopBranchName // this command creates and checkout the branch
-
Pull from the remote Develop branch. Conflict might occur. if so, fix the conflict and commit the changes.
git pull origin DevelopBranchName
-
Merge the local Develop branch with the remote Develop branch
git merge origin develop
-
Push the merged branch to the remote Develop branch
git push origin develop
2) Local Master branch is behind the remote Master branch
This means every locally created branch is behind.
Before preceding, you have to commit or stash all the changes you made on the branch that is behind commits.
Solution:
-
Checkout your local Master branch
git checkout master
-
Pull from remote Master branch
git pull origin master
Now your local Master is in sync with the remote Branch but other local branches, that branched from the local Master branch, are not in sync with your local Master branch because of the above command. To fix that:
-
Checkout the branch that is behind your local Master branch
git checkout BranchNameBehindCommit
-
Merge with the local Master branch
git merge master // Now your branch is in sync with local Master branch
If this branch is on the remote repository, you have to push your changes
git push origin branchBehindCommit

Git rev-list
rev-list is a very essential Git command, since it provides the ability to build and traverse commit ancestry graphs. For this reason, it has a lot of different options that enables it to be used by commands as different as git bisect and git repack.
rev-list walks backwards through history, including or excluding commits based on whether --full-history and/or parent rewriting (via --parents or --children) are used. The following settings are available.
Git rev-list will list commits in one branch that are not in another branch. It is a great tool when you're trying to figure out if code has been merged into a branch or not. Using the --oneline option will display the title of each commit. The ^ operator excludes commits in the specified branch from the list.
