Git Hotkeys

This page lists 83 keyboard shortcuts for Git on macOS. All shortcuts fall under the General category, so the page covers core command-line interactions rather than a specific workflow area.

Start with the shortcuts you already type most often as plain commands, such as staging, committing, and checking status. Learning the keyboard equivalents for those first gives you an immediate return without having to memorize the full list.

No, the shortcuts listed here are documented for macOS only. If you work on Linux or Windows, key mappings may differ and are not reflected on this page.

Start with General. Those sections usually cover the actions people repeat most often, then move into the more specialized groups as you need them.
