Getting more from Git
summary
Claim: clean, atomic history and meaningful messages make debugging and future work faster. Demonstrated tools: git add -p to stage hunks, git commit --amend to fix the last commit, git reset <sha> (soft and hard) to rewind safely using the reflog, and git rebase -i to squash, reword, or delete commits. Emphasises Git’s distributed branching model, warns to rebase only unpublished branches, and shows resolving a real merge conflict while rewriting nursery-rhyme commits.
