So you think you know Git: Advanced Git Tips and Tricks
summary
Rapid-fire, practical Git tricks: set aliases and conditional configs for per-project identities; use git maintenance start to enable prefetch, commit-graph and fsmonitor for much faster fetch/log/status on huge repos (Windows: ~3.5M files, 300 GB; Chromium example half‑million files); run git blame with -w and multiple -C to recover authors after refactors; use force-with-lease (or force‑if‑includes) to avoid accidental history rewrites; leverage worktrees and fixup/--autosquash for patch series; use partial clone with filter=blob:none to shrink clones from 4.5 GB to ~1.5–0.6 GB.
