    The most useful git technique I've learned is understanding how it works internally (what is a commit and how it is stored, that a branch is pretty much a pointer to a commit etc). This allows for much more flexibility when it comes to managing your local repo. At work I'm constantly juggling commits between local branches, mixing and squashing them as I need them to. There is no problem in running cherry-pick on a branch to get its' top commit or pushing your previous commit to remote while current one is not ready.
    And also reflog.

    One operation that I use quite a lot is "git add -p", which basically allows me to review each piece of code I changed/added/deleted in order to have more granular control over what I want to include in the next commit, and maybe squash the changes I didn't include, for later.

There is a distinction between unique masterpieces created by master craftsmen (such as the Mona Lisa), or the original ship's drawing of Titanic, and forced perfect replication, originally conceived to drive slave clocks from a master pendulum. The original reference is discussed in [1] R. Eglash, “Broken Metaphor: The Master-Slave Analogy in Technical Literature,” Technology and Culture, vol. 48, no. 2, pp. 360-369, 2007, doi: 10.1353/tech.2007.0066 where the 'master' analogy was used directly to call up the idea of slave copies.

    Oh, I was really wishing for what the bonus trick does, haha!
    Something that I do often when before opening a PR is doing ‘git reset -soft {destination-branch}’ so that my changes are not lost, and then reconstruct the commit history. This helps build a cleaner one. Then do ‘git push -f’ and that’s it. But, of course, be careful with the ‘-f’.

So that microsoft bent, because the pressure from that group was so high, that they decided to skip the word master in github's default repo settings?

      Face it: That group does not exist. Nobody, not a single person, is *honestly* being insulted by git using the word master for its default branch. Just like not a single woman in Germany is insulted by the word Wissenschaftler (scientiest), which we may not use any more.

While with that that fancy tool you are left at the mercy of its authors.

    Hey fireship, I think these tricks for terminal git commands are all cool, but I personally believe in the supremacy of GUI's for git. Originally I fell in-love with GitKraken, ended up getting the pro version, and since then I've converted my entire team to using it. While it does bar you off from some the optional commands / flags you can use in your terminal, I feel it includes all the most important git utilities (checking out, commiting/pushing, ammending, reverting, rebasing (also interactive-ly), merging, stashing, and even more) whilst also providing you with an extremely intuitive UI for a git repository's state. About half of the tips you showed in this video I believe can be handled more cleanly in a GUI, the useful ones that I like doing in GitKraken being bisect, interactive rebase, pretty logs and stashes. Just being able to see a project's entire history, who made each commit, the relationship of all branches to one another, are all extremely valuable features on their own.

    Great video as always! I'd argue though that the first tip would eventually lead to more conflicts and add more gas to the fire than solve a problem. Often you'd be working on something and want to commit a specific set of files and only those files. -am, add ., and others will make the situation worse if you get used to it. They're useful in situations when you really need them, but in my experience that's not the case most of the time.
    As for the --force tip, you forgot to say a tiny thing that is, if you push your history and your colleagues pull your changes and work locally on them, then you force push your local history, their whole history from the point they pulled your changes may be invalidated, leading to history conflicts between your code on the remote and *everyone* else who pulled the code. This is why generally repos have the option to prevent force push altogether and pushing to master directly altogether. Of course, if you're working alone on a repo then it's fine, but I'd also argue you shouldn't get used to this option in the first place. Revert is a *much* better option.
