Essential Git Fu for tech writers
summary
Shows concrete git aliases and bash functions that replace messy sequences—examples include git newbranch (creates branch instead of checkout -b), git remember (fetches and checks out a remote branch), and a work-in-progress alias that saves changes as WIP commits and later reverts them. Demonstrates undoing commits, renaming/deleting branches, finding branches by substring, syncing with origin/master, and a show-modified-files helper. All snippets are shareable via a gitconfig snippet, and the workflow reports fewer keystrokes and fewer human errors.
