GitHub’s web UI is great, but it can feel slow when you live in a terminal. In this guide we introduce the GitHub CLI (gh), walk through installation and authentication, and show a few everyday commands that bring issues and pull requests straight into your shell.
When a bug slips into production, guessing which commit caused it is a fast way to lose hours. git bisect turns that guesswork into a fast, repeatable binary search through your history, helping you pinpoint the first bad commit using simple “good” and “bad” tests—manually or fully automated.
git worktree lets you keep multiple branches checked out at once without cloning the same repo over and over. In this article we show how to use worktrees for code review, hotfixes, and long-running feature branches so your Git workflow stays clean, fast, and production-friendly.
Turn noisy diffs into crisp reviews. These five git diff tricks—smart comparisons, word-level views, targeted searches, merge-base diffs, and noise-reduction—make meaningful changes pop.
A solid .gitignore saves your team from noisy diffs, slow clones, and accidental secret commits. This guide explains core patterns (globs, directory rules, negations), repo vs. global ignores, and stack-specific snippets for Node.js, Python, PHP/WordPress, and Java. You’ll also learn how to untrack files already committed, debug rules with git check-ignore -v, and handle large artifacts with Git LFS.
