### Adding Branches

* local: `git checkout -b <branch>`
* remote: `git push --set-upstream <remote> <branch>`
* track remote: `git checkout --track <origin>/<branch>`

### Deleting Branches

* local: `git branch -d <name>`
* remote: `git push -d <remote> <name>`
* realize remote deletes: `git remote prune  <remote>`

### Non-Standard Activities

* merge only a single file into another branch `git checkout <branch> -- <file>`
* delete from repo and file system `git rm <file>`
* set current branch to track remote `git branch -u <origin>/<branch>`

Config

* set line ending behaviour `git config --global core.autocrlf true`
* store credentials `git config credential.helper store` or `git config credential.helper cache`
