Sam, that's brilliant! I'm still using SVN, but dabbling in Git, and this is just the thing to help me make the jump. Great cheat sheet!

Yes, the content is exactly what I am looking for too. It would be even better for these tired old eyes with <font size=+2pt> lol.

I'm sure that increasing the font size won't cause any problems width-wise; plenty of space in all three columns, even with Letter-sized paper. And there's space aplenty at the bottom of an A4 page so there's be even more on Letter-sized paper.

Great cheat sheet all the same!

Best GIT sheet here. Could you please add "Rename branch" (or "Move branch") to one of the blocks (probably last); `git branch -m *new* *existing*`
