How Effective Teams Use Git
summary
Practical, actionable Git habits: install a git-aware prompt such as starship or posh-git, pipe diffs through diff-so-fancy, and set merge.conflictStyle=diff3 to see three‑way conflicts. Use git add -p to make autonomous commits, git stash --keep-index and git rebase --exec 'dotnet build' to ensure every commit is correct, squash and reorder with rebase -i for incremental history, enable rerere to reuse conflict resolutions, and enforce 50‑char summaries plus client-side hooks for whitespace and commit‑message checks. Branches: keep public long‑running branches mergeable, rebase private topic branches and map branches to environments for releases.
