git-workflow

Features and purpose

Git is deceptively simple to learn and incredibly hard to master. The difference between a team that ships and a team that fights merge conflicts all day comes down to workflow discipline. Your git history is documentation - make it tell a story future you can understand. This skill covers branching strategies (trunk-based, gitflow, GitHub flow), commit hygiene, merge vs rebase, conflict resolution, and the commands you actually need. Key insight: most git disasters come from not understanding what you're about to do. 2025 lesson: Trunk-based development with short-lived branches has won. Long-lived feature branches are a code smell. If a branch lives more than a few days, something is wrong with your architecture or process. Use when "git workflow, branching strategy, git merge, git rebase, merge conflict, git commit, trunk-based, gitflow, git history, git revert, git reset, git, version-control, workflow, branching, commits, merge, rebase, collaboration" mentioned.
