Worktrees
bash
# Create a worktree for a feature branch (avoids stashing)
git worktree add ../feature-auth feature/auth
# Create a worktree with a new branch
git worktree add ../hotfix-123 -b hotfix/123 origin/main
# List all worktrees
git worktree list
# Remove a worktree after merging
git worktree remove ../feature-authWorktrees let you work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or committing WIP. Each worktree has its own working directory but shares the same repository.
.gitBisect
bash
# Start bisect, mark current as bad and known good commit
git bisect start
git bisect bad HEAD
git bisect good v1.5.0
# Git checks out a midpoint commit. Test it, then mark:
git bisect good # if this commit works
git bisect bad # if this commit is broken
# Automate with a test script
git bisect start HEAD v1.5.0
git bisect run npm test
# When done, reset
git bisect resetBisect performs binary search across commits to find which commit introduced a bug. Automated bisect with is the fastest approach.
runInteractive Rebase
bash
# Rebase last 5 commits interactively
git rebase -i HEAD~5
# Common operations in the editor:
# pick - keep commit as-is
# reword - change commit message
# edit - stop to amend the commit
# squash - merge into previous commit, keep both messages
# fixup - merge into previous commit, discard this message
# drop - remove the commit entirely
# Rebase feature branch onto latest main
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main
# Continue after resolving conflicts
git rebase --continue
# Abort if things go wrong
git rebase --abortGit Hooks
bash
#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/pre-commit
# Run linter on staged files only
STAGED_FILES=$(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=d | grep -E '\.(ts|tsx|js|jsx)$')
if [ -n "$STAGED_FILES" ]; then
npx eslint $STAGED_FILES --fix
git add $STAGED_FILES
fibash
#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/commit-msg
# Enforce conventional commit format
COMMIT_MSG=$(cat "$1")
PATTERN="^(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|test|chore)(\(.+\))?: .{1,72}$"
if ! echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | head -1 | grep -qE "$PATTERN"; then
echo "Error: Commit message must follow Conventional Commits format"
echo "Example: feat(auth): add OAuth2 login flow"
exit 1
fibash
#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/pre-push
# Run tests before pushing
npm test
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Tests failed. Push aborted."
exit 1
fiRecovery Techniques
bash
# Undo last commit but keep changes staged
git reset --soft HEAD~1
# Recover a deleted branch using reflog
git reflog
git checkout -b recovered-branch HEAD@{3}
# Recover a file from a specific commit
git checkout abc1234 -- path/to/file.ts
# Find lost commits (dangling after reset or rebase)
git fsck --lost-found
git show <dangling-commit-sha>
# Undo a rebase
git reflog
git reset --hard HEAD@{5} # point before rebase startedUseful Aliases
bash
# ~/.gitconfig

- Force-pushing to shared branches without
--force-with-lease - Rebasing commits that have already been pushed and shared
- Committing large binary files without Git LFS
- Using without reviewing
git add .git diff --staged - Not using for build artifacts, dependencies, and secrets
.gitignore - Keeping long-lived feature branches instead of merging frequently
Checklist
- Worktrees used for parallel branch work instead of stashing
- automates bug-finding with a test command
git bisect run - Interactive rebase cleans up commits before merging to main
- Pre-commit hooks run linting on staged files
- Commit message format enforced via commit-msg hook
- used instead of
--force-with-leasewhen force-pushing--force - Reflog consulted before any destructive operation
- covers build outputs, dependencies, and environment files
