 `git add <filename>`: Add files to the git tracking and committing system.
-
 `git status`: Check Git Status
-
 `.gitignore`: Input files that will be ignored by Git. **But if files are already inside the git tracking system, it won't delete it from git. We have to use `git rm filename` to remove it.**
-
 `git diff`: check file changed that is not staged. 
-
 `gif diff --staged`: check file changed that is staged.
-
 `git add --all`: add all changes to the git tracking.
-
 `git commit`: Submit changes to git.
-
 `git commit -a`: Submit changes with all changes. Still need to call `git add all`
-
 `git commit --amend`: Revert and re-commit the last git submission.
-
 `git rm –cached < filename >`: Delete file from git submission. But does not delete local file.
-
 `git reset – < file >`: change the current HEAD pointers to previous commits. Depends on --hard or --soft, will or will not change the local file.
-
 `git checkout -- <file>`: Change to local file to specific commits. Does not move HEAD pointer in Git.
-
 `git remote -v`: Output remote server and its URL.
-
 `git remote add <short_name> <url>`:
-
 `git remote rm <short_name>`:
-
 `git fetch <remote-name>`:  Receive the remote server's update. Will put into <remote-name>/branch.
-
 `git pull`: Automatically fetch and then merge into current.
-
 `git push <remote-name> <branch-name>`: push to the remote server.
-
 `git push <remote-name> --tags`: push to the remote server with tags information.
-
 `git tag -d <tagname>`: Delete tags information
-
 `git checkout master`: Checkout the master branch.
-
 `git merge <other_branch_name>`: Git will decide which branch will become its ancestor.
 
 If we have conflicts in merge:
-`git mergetool`: GUI tool used to fix conflicts. Then use `git merge` to merge.
 
+`git mergetool`: GUI tool used to fix conflicts. Then use `git merge` to merge.
 `git branch`: Output all branches information.
 
 It is OK to repeatedly merge other branches to one branch. For example, we can repeatedly merge *test_branch* to *master* branch. 
 
 `git push origin --delete <branch_name>` Delete remote branch.
-
 `git rebase -i HEAD~3` Change the last three commits, very useful tool to re-generate commits history.
 
 ### Added after March, 2023:
 
 `git worktree add <path> <branch_name>`: Checkout another branch in a separate folder. The current branch folder and the new checkout folder will co-exist, and sync with the updates (for different branches). 
+`git worktree list`: List all currently checkout work trees. 
+`git worktree remove <worktree>`: Remove the work tree from the file system.
+
+### Signing related:
+
+`gpg --list-keys` && `git config --global user.signingkey <your gpg key id>`: Check you gpg key and import it to your git. Make sure the gpg key email matches your git registered email. 
+`git config --global commit.gpgsign true`: Auto sign by default. 
 
-`git worktree list`: List all currently checkout worktrees. 
+### Just interesting new command: 
 
-`git worktree remove <worktree>`: Remove the worktree from the filesystme.
+`git push --force-with-lease`: Force push if the reference tree is not changed by others. Safer force push.  
+`git diff --word-diff`: Word diff instead of line diff. 
+`git config --global branch.sort -committerdate`: Sort branch based on commit date instead of alphabetic. 
+`git maintenance start`: On your most commonly used commit, auto run git maintenance jobs such as prefetching periodically. 
+`git clone --filter=blob:none`: Download the git commit tree and the latest blob, but skipped the history blob at the time. Git will fetch for blob if you ask for history commit data. 
 
+If you are working with super large monorepo, you can use `scalar` command, an alternative `git` command that wraps up some `git` commands optimized for large repos.
