Git Hidden Gems
summary
Nine concrete Git tricks are demonstrated, including a custom git log format that shows abbreviated hashes and refs, using Delta as core.pager for syntax-highlighted diffs, selective staging with git add -p and git restore hunks, stash --keep-index to test staged-only changes, pickaxe (-S) and -L for function-level history searches, automated workflows with rebase --autosquash and auto-stash, reflog for undoing rebases, and rerere to record and replay conflict resolutions.
