All religions, including Hinduism have multiple commandments. However, the key ones are -
1. Dharma - The path of righteousness, which includes "common-sense" / ethical ways of living and acting. These include speaking the truth, avoiding violence, helping the needy, etc.
2. Karma - Building your 'score' in terms of good deeds done and paying off for sins in your past life by helping people and or penance
3. Bhakthi - Devotion towards God (Lord Vishnu / Lord Shiva) to cleanse the soul and attain salvation
4. Yoga - Stay fit and perform your duties with the right technique. There are multiple scientific principles and approaches that are aggregated under the term yoga, including fitness techniques
The closest Hindu equivalent would be the Purusharthas. Roughly translated they are the four basic "human purposes" of life.
