'git help' shows common commands in alphabetical order:

The most commonly used git commands are:
   add        Add file contents to the index
   bisect     Find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
   branch     List, create, or delete branches
   checkout   Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
   clone      Clone a repository into a new directory
   commit     Record changes to the repository
   [...]

These are common Git commands used in various situations:

start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
   clone      Clone a repository into a new directory
   init       Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize [...]

work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)
   add        Add file contents to the index
   reset      Reset current HEAD to the specified state

examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions)
   log        Show commit logs
   status     Show the working tree status

   [...]
