Git Best Practices

Chapter 5 was one of the most important ones in this book. Make sure to return to it whenever you have doubts about commits. At this point, you should be able to create, review, and amend project snapshots without problems. Now that you know the basic features of Git, it’s time to learn the best practices to make your life (and your teammates') easier. These are the things that I wish I knew when I first used Git. This chapter covers commit messages, the dos and don’ts of Git, and a list of the most common mistakes beginners make. It finishes with a reminder of how Git works.
