In this article, we’ll take you beyond the basics and dive into advanced Git.
Git’s branching mechanism allows you to work on different features or fixes in isolation, without disrupting the main codebase.
There are two main ways to create and switch branches in Git.
Once you’ve made your changes on a branch, it’s time to merge them back into the main branch.
Merge conflicts are like the “awkward dinner conversations” of Git.
When you’re working solo or collaborating, remote repositories are your best friend.
Rebasing is a powerful tool, but it’s like the “nuclear option” for commit history — use with caution!
Ever realized you made a small mistake right after committing? Don’t worry — you don’t have to create a whole new commit to fix it. Git lets you amend the last commit.
Git is powerful, but some commands can be long and cumbersome. Instead of typing out the full command every time, you can alias them to something shorter and more memorable.
Working with Git in a team environment requires some extra care to keep everything organized.
