Git on steroids

Are you struggling to keep up with the complexities of version control? Do you find yourself lost in a maze of commits and branches? If so, then this episode of Git Gurus is for you! We’re diving deep into the world of Git, covering essential commands, tips, and techniques to make you a Git master.



We’ll begin with the fundamentals, explaining how to create and configure a Git repository. You’ll learn how to craft meaningful commit messages by following conventional commit structures. We will discuss the use of commit types such as build, ci, chore, docs, feat, fix, perf, refactor, revert, style, and test. You'll see how to use git config to customize your settings.



Next, we will explore advanced techniques, such as using git sparse-checkout to work with specific directories in a monorepo. We'll explain the use of --fixup to automatically combine commits prior to an interactive rebase. We will uncover the secrets of rebasing, squashing, and interactive staging. Learn how to effectively review changes with git diff and get tips on handling merge conflicts. We will cover the use of git reset and git revert. We also will touch on git stash.



You'll also get insights into collaborating with others. We will shed light on the use of pull requests, as well as git request-pull and even how to send patches via email.
