Thanks for the feedback, Matthias! color.ui is definitely a good thing to put on there. It isn’t because it didn’t exist yet when I made that version of the cheat sheet.

To be honest, I hadn’t really used Git much myself when I made the cheat sheet. That has changed. I might very well give it a major overhaul when I find the time.

Hey,

maybe you’d want to advertise color.ui instead of color.branch, color.diff and color.status.

I’m not sure if I would describe core.compression. I have never changed this value and consider myself a fairly advanced git user. Maybe point the user to Documentation/config.txt instead? But hey, it’s your cheat sheet and it might be of some value for my co-workers.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this one! The “big picture” really helped me to get some things clear and the reference is also very useful. Now I know immediately which man-page to read. I think I will have it in reach always :)

I certainly don’t. Thanks for considering it worth linking to. ;)

Don’t worry: the license covers only modification (reproduction) and distribution. In other words, just looking at the document is not restricted in any way. If, on the other hand, you sold copies of the document or sold your own work based directly on the contents of the document (i.e. copying substantial parts of it), that would be commercial use as restricted by the license. See sections 4b and 3 of the full license text for the gory details.

I still do not entirely understand the phrase “commercial use”. Obviously I am not allowed to sell your cheat sheet, but may I use it to look up commands when I’m working on a business project?
