List all tags

Remove local repository

delete directory :)

Revert changes

# Revert changes to modified files.
$ git reset --hard

# Remove all untracked files and directories. (`-f` is `force`, `-d` is `remove directories`)
$ git clean -fd

Git stash

-- Stash the changes in a dirty working directory away

--  saves your local modifications away and reverts the working directory to match the HEAD commit.

$ git stash apply -- restore stashed files - you need to call git stash drop to remove files from stash!

$ git stash pop -- move files from stash into branch
