+There is a lots of guide/docs on internet but there are too big and confusing. You will find here a mini guide to use git with a minimal number of command and parameters. You won't find any details or explication of git internal mechanism here.
+
+## Remote Transfer or how to communicate with the world
+* Get a fresh repository: git clone `<remote>`
+* Update current repository to latest: git fetch -v 
+* Update current repository with commit from a fork: git fetch -v `<remote>` `<branch>`
+* Send your new commit to the remote: git push
+
+## Commit or how to communicate with your local repository
+* staged your change: git add/rm -p `<file>`
+* commit your change: git commit
+* uncommit previous commit: git reset --soft HEAD~1
+* unstage your change: git reset HEAD --
+* discard your change **forever**: git checkout -p -- `<file>`
+
+## Stash or how to save your precious work
+Stash is very useful. For example, your will use it before/after (push/pop) merge/rebase action 
+* Push pending update on the stack: git stash
+* Get back your update: git stash pop
+* view content of your stash: git stash show -p `stash@\{0\}`
+
+## Rebase or how to screw the history
+**Never** rebase commits that were pushed remotely. Rebase can be used to improve your current patch set, or to fast-forward-merge after a fetch.
+* The rebase command: git rebase -i
+* Cancel it : git rebase --abort
+* Resolve conflict: git mergetool `<file>`
+* Continue rebase: git rebase --continue
+
+## Branch or how to separate your work by feature
+Please note that master is actually the default branch
+* List branches: git branch -v
+* Switch to another branch: git checkout `<branch_name>`
+* Creates: git branch `<branch_name>`
+* Delete branches: git branch -d `<branch_name>`
+* Set the base reference of the branch (for rebase): git branch --set-upstream-to=`<remote>` `<branch_name>`
+
+## Branch use case
+Let's say you want to rebase your current branch topic-v1 to topic-v2 with new addition. Note topic-v1 could also be master too.
+* Go to current branch: git checkout topic-v1
+* Create a new one: git branch topic-v2
+* Go into the new branch: git checkout topic-v2
+* Set the reference: git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master topic-v2 
+* Rebase: git rebase -i
+* ...
