I know you're probably just trolling but I'll take the bait — I'd put all of these six before any of those three:

    git pull
    git clone
    git status
    git commit -a
    git push
    git diff
I mean, the ones you mentioned are pretty useful, but if you don't have a repo in the first place, even git-log isn't going to be very useful; and if you're branching and rebasing, you probably have to commit first.

(I actually prefer Magit, to the point where I sometimes run Emacs just for Magit when I'm using a different IDE.)



I'm not trolling, and to assume that I am doesn't exactly "assume good faith." [0]

The comment I replied to says:

> Like they know enough to commit and push but that's about it.

In that vein, I was suggesting what I consider to be the most basic git commands outside of the "clone, commit, push" workflow.

Oh, I didn't know you meant to imply that qualifier; I was responding only to what you said, which was absurd, not what you meant, which I now see was reasonable.
