Collection of useful Git Tips to get started

I thought it was time to collect some of my most useful findings when working with Git.

These are typically from situations where I found a useful way, which I wanted to jot down. Also I have answered and asked some questions on StackOverflow. The good thing about it, is that I am always able to find it again this way.
