Gitting things done
summary
Explains concrete Git practices: treat every fork as its own truth, use short-lived branches with issue-number or PR prefixes, and make reviewers happy with atomic commits that include tests and a why-rich message. Demonstrates tools and workflows: git amend, interactive rebase (reorder, squash, fixup, reword), git bisect, reflog, cherry-pick, reset vs revert, .gitignore/.git/info/exclude and gitattributes. Advises force-push rules, and claims using a GUI tripled productivity and improved PR acceptance from roughly 20% to about 99.5%.
