  • Git can be used for deployment, dependency management, dlivery pipelines, and—oh yeah—versioning.
  • Commit messages are about telling a good story. Tell your team what your commit is doing.
  • git blame foo.rb will reveal information about commits in foo.rb.
  • Reference issue/ticket numbers in commits that resolve or address issues/tickets.
  • Always work in a topic (feature) branch!
  • Rebase and compress work-in-progress commits into a single, meaningful commit when merging into master. Keeps master’s history relatively clean with valuable commit messages.
  • Use git rebase -i master for interactive rebases.
