[git-bash] gitbash command quick reference

Does anyone know where I can find a quick reference for all commands in gitbash for windows? The help command covers the most important, but I can't find info on basic navigation such as getting the current directory, changing directory etc.

This question is related to git-bash

The answer is


from within the git bash shell type:

>cd /bin
>ls -l

You will then see a long listing of all the unix-like commands available. There are lots of goodies in there.

It will help you a lot Basic Git Commands


You should accept Mike Gossland's answer, but it can be improved a little. Try this in Git Bash:

 ls -1F /bin | grep '\*$' | grep -v '\.dll\*$' | sed 's/\*$\|\.exe//g'

Explanation:

List on 1 line, decorated with trailing * for executables, all files in bin. Keep only those with the trailing *s, but NOT ending with .dll*, then replace all ending asterisks or ".exe" with nothing.

This gives you a clean list of all the GitBash commands.


git-bash uses standard unix commands.

ls for directory listing cd for change directory
