You Don’t Know Git

You use git every day; every developer does. It’s been the most popular version control system for more than a decade. Some people use just the basics of the tool: fetch, add, commit, push. But there’s more - much more - to the tool. Even if you’re familiar with advanced features like rebase, there’s a host of hidden git features and functionality. Edward unpacks some of the lesser known functionality in git and introduces some things you don’t know about, so that you can be even more productive with the tool that you use daily.
