Git is the foundation of modern software. In 2025, features like Sparse Checkout and Scalar (for monorepos) are becoming mainstream.
When to Use
- Always: Use it for everything. Text files, config, code.
- Bisect: Finding bugs by binary search.
Core Concepts
Graph
Commits form a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph).
Rebase vs Merge
- Merge: Preserves history, creates bubbles.
- Rebase: Rewrites history, linearizes.
Worktrees
Checkout multiple branches of the same repo in different folders simultaneously.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use
git switch/git restore: The modern alternatives to the overloadedgit checkout. - Use
git maintenance: Speed up fetch/clone in the background. - Sign Commits: Use SSH keys to sign commits (
Commit Signing).
Don't:
- Don't force push to shared branches:
git push --force-with-leaseis the safer alternative.
