8 Tips to help you work better with Git
Feb 19, 2015Patricio Cano

Summary
This post provides practical tips for improving Git workflow efficiency. It details how to configure Git aliases for common commands (`checkout`, `commit`, `branch`), use `git stash` to temporarily store uncommitted changes, compare commits using `git diff` and `git difftool`, reset files to previous states with `git reset --hard HEAD` or `git checkout HEAD -- path/to/file`, and use `git blame` more efficiently with flags like `-w`, `-M`, and `-C`. It also advises on frequent pulling from the master branch to avoid merge conflicts and committing often without pushing every commit, recommending pushing only after changes are tested and tests pass.
