+
+Github's [Git 'Hello World'](https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/)
+is a good place to get started if you're new to git.
+
+### How to commit files
+
+```bash
+git add ./path/to/file1
+git add ./path/to/file2
+git commit -m "my summary for this commit"
+```
+
+### How to ignore common files
+
+In your project repository create a `.gitignore` file with patterns of fies to
+ignore
+
+```txt
+.env*
+*.bak
+*.tmp
+.*.sw*
+```
+
+### How to create a branch
+
+This will branch from the branch you're currently on.
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b my-branch-name
+```
+
+### How to rebase
+
+Rebase when fetching new updates
+
+```bash
+git pull --rebase origin master
+```
+
+Rebase a feature branch from master before a merge
+
+```bash
+# update master
+git fetch
+git checkout master
+git pull
+
+# go back to your feature branch
+git checkout my-feature
+
+# start the rebase
+git rebase master
+
+# fix conflicts if you need to, and then continue
+git add ./my-merged-file
+git rebase --continue
+```
+
+### How to authenticate git with deploy tokens
+
+Abbreviated from
+[The Vanilla DevOps Git Credentials & Private Packages Cheatsheet](https://coolaj86.com/articles/vanilla-devops-git-credentials-cheatsheet/):
+
+First, update `.gitconfig` to handle each type of git URL (git, ssh, and http)
+as https:
+
+```bash
+git config --global url."https://api@github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
+git config --global url."https://ssh@github.com/".insteadOf "ssh://git@github.com/"
+git config --global url."https://git@github.com/".insteadOf "git@github.com:"
+```
+
+Next, create a `.git-askpass`:
+
+```bash
+echo 'echo $MY_GIT_TOKEN' > $HOME/.git-askpass
+chmod +x $HOME/.git-askpass
+```
+
+Finally, add the following ENVs to your deployment environment:
+
+```bash
+GIT_ASKPASS=$HOME/.git-askpass
+
+# Relpace xxxx... with your deploy token
+MY_GIT_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+In the case of Github it may be useful to create a read-only deploy user for
+your organization.
+
+This can work with Docker, Github, Gitlab, Gitea, CircleCI, and many more.
