 How to do stuff with git
 
+Staging a subset of changes in a file
+-------------------------------------
+
+    git add -p
+
+    y - stage this hunk
+    n - do not stage this hunk
+    q - quit; do not stage this hunk or any of the remaining ones
+    a - stage this hunk and all later hunks in the file
+    d - do not stage this hunk or any of the later hunks in the file
+    g - select a hunk to go to
+    / - search for a hunk matching the given regex
+    j - leave this hunk undecided, see next undecided hunk
+    J - leave this hunk undecided, see next hunk
+    k - leave this hunk undecided, see previous undecided hunk
+    K - leave this hunk undecided, see previous hunk
+    s - split the current hunk into smaller hunks
+    e - manually edit the current hunk

+
+Splitting a commit
+------------------
+
+From [docs](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_splitting_commits):
+
+- Start an interactive rebase with `git rebase -i <commit>^`, where `<commit>`
+  is the commit you want to split.
+- Mark the commit you want to split with the action "edit".
+- When it comes to editing that commit, execute `git reset HEAD^`. The effect
+  is that the HEAD is rewound by one, and the index follows suit. However, the
+  working tree stays the same.
+- Now add the changes to the index that you want to have in the first commit
+  (`git add`)
+- Commit the now-current index with whatever commit message is appropriate now.
+- Repeat the last two steps until your working tree is clean.
+- Continue the rebase with `git rebase --continue`.
+
+
+Merge 2 repos
+-------------
+
+```sh
+$ ls -1
+repo_A
+repo_B
+$ cd repo_B
+$ git remote add repo_A ../repo_A
+$ git fetch repo_A --tags
+$ git merge --allow-unrelated-histories repo_A/$BRANCH
+$ git remote remove repo_A
+```
