My own personal top hit is:

Pretty sure I've got the command down by now, but it's embarassing how many times I forgot the exact syntax. It was especially bad before the "--delete" syntax was introduced.

TIL --delete, I still `git push origin :branchname`'d just this morning.

Though at least now github provides easily access buttons.

Gotta be honest, when I use git without tab completion for extended amounts of times I end up with a 'delete' branch eventually.
