The Git you don't know

" summary

Shows concrete Git fixes: step-by-step use of interactive rebase to split and reorder commits and when to use reset vs squash; how shallow clones can be tuned — clone with commits only, metadata-only, or full trees for different workflows and the cost of on-demand object fetches; why submodules can leave origins pointing at local-only commits and how that breaks coworkers; practical LFS migration and history-rewrite strategies (mirror clone backup, filter-branch/BFG), plus using git bisect with scripts and worktrees to reproduce and fix regressions.
