Git Beyond Push & Pull
summary
Covers concrete workflows: use git add -p to stage hunks and produce focused commits, undo with git reset or checkout-patch, and tidy history with interactive rebase and git rebase --autosquash (squash, fixup, edit). Demonstrates cherry-pick and format-patch, runs tests per-commit via rebase -x, and automates a binary search with git bisect on GCC to narrow a regression from millions of lines changed to about 50 commits, locating a spurious return and confirming the fix.
