What’s on the Git: Everyday Commands poster
A 10-row table: Command · What it does.
The loop is: change files, stage them, commit, push. Everything else is navigation.
- git status — What has changed and what is staged
- git add -p — Stage changes hunk by hunk, reviewing each
- git commit -m "..." — Record the staged changes
- git push — Send commits to the remote
- git pull --rebase — Fetch and replay your work on top
- git switch -c name — Create a branch and move to it
- git switch main — Move to an existing branch
- git log --oneline -10 — The last ten commits, one line each
- git diff — Unstaged changes
- git diff --staged — What a commit would contain
Commit messages explain why. The diff already shows what.

- Who is the Git: Everyday Commands poster for?
- Git: Everyday Commands belongs to the Computing section rather than to a school year, because computing is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning tools can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Git: Everyday Commands poster?
- Run status before and after anything you are unsure of. It is the cheapest habit in version control. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Git: Everyday Commands belongs on the wall where that computing work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Git: Everyday Commands?
- Code Review, Debugging Method and Docker Basics sit alongside Git: Everyday Commands in the Computing section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Code ReviewDebugging MethodDocker Basics
- Is the Git: Everyday Commands poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Git: Everyday Commands downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Computing section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Git: Everyday Commands poster print at?
- Git: Everyday Commands is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Git: Everyday Commands loses nothing.Printing guide
