Git features you aren’t using
In this session we'll take a tour of some features that you might or might not have heard of, but can significantly improve your workflow and day-to-day interaction with Git.
Git continues to see improvements daily. However, work (and life) can take over, and we often miss the changelog. This means we don't know what changed, and consequently fail to see how we can incorporate those in our usage of Git.
In this session we will look at some features you are probably aware of, but haven't used, alongside new features that Git has brought to the table. Examples include:
- Rebase and interactive rebase
- restore/switch and when to use them
- worktrees
- shallow-clones
- Git's filesystem monitor
By the end of this session, you will walk away with a slew of new tools in your arsenal, and a new perspective on how this can help you and your colleagues get the most out of Git.
