IS NOW Git Legit
summary
Argues that switching to atomic commits actually cuts rebase conflict repetition by turning scattered checkpoint commits into single-purpose units, shows recorded demos of using interactive rebase, amend, reset, fixup/squash, and force-push-with-lease, and demonstrates cherry-pick, drop, and automated git bisect to find a regression; promises concrete git commands and workflows, the tradeoffs of squash merges and protected main branches, and live examples that rewrite history and then successfully force-push so you can see it work end to end.
