Scott Chacon - So you think you know GitAdvanced Git Tips and Tricks - DevWorld 2024
Explore advanced Git tips and tricks with Scott Chacon, covering topics like Git LFS, worktrees, and obscure commands to simplify workflows and improve performance.
-
git diffcan be used on binary files by running files through an intermediate and then diffing that. - Smudge and clean filters can be used to manipulate file contents before committing and after restoring.
- Git LFS (Large File Storage) allows storing large files in a separate repository, and can be used to improve performance when working with large files.
-
The
checkoutcommand is very versatile and can be used to switch between branches, restore files, and undo changes. -
The
resetcommand can be used to reset the index, unstage changes, and move the head reference. - Worktrees allow multiple branches to be checked out in the same directory, making it easier to work on multiple features at the same time.
- Hooks can be used to automate tasks and enforce coding standards, and can be executed at different points in the Git workflow.
- Git has many obscure commands and options that can be used to simplify workflows and improve performance.
- Scaler is a binary that can be used to clone large repositories and set up worktrees.
-
The
switchandrestorecommands are new in Git and allow for more flexible branching and restoration of files. - Hooks can be used to enforce coding standards and automate tasks, and can be configured using a YAML file.
- Git LFS can be used to store large files and improve performance when working with large files.
