As you advance in your development career, mastering Git becomes increasingly important. Beyond the basic commands like commit
, branch
, and merge
, there are more advanced techniques that can help you manage your codebase more efficiently. This cheatsheet focuses on three powerful Git techniques: Rebase, Cherry-Pick, and Interactive Staging. Understanding and using these commands can significantly enhance your workflow, making it easier to maintain a clean and organized Git history.
Rebasing is a way to integrate changes from one branch into another. Unlike merge
, which creates a new commit to combine the histories of the two branches, rebase
moves or combines a sequence of commits to a new base commit. This can help keep your commit history linear and more readable.
