git

• writing good commits
• interactive tutorial
• https://nuclearsquid.com/writings/git-add/
• the git book: especially chapters 1-3, 5.1, 5.2, 7.2
• git rebase, i.e. how to rewrite git history
• tutorial for git over email
• alternative to the forking model

Notes:

• The functionality of checkout has been split into switch and restore in more recent versions, it’s better to use those.
• It’s important to craft good commits, which involves writing good commit messages, add-ing only what is needed in a commit (which might include only partially adding changes from a file), and cleaning up after yourself before pushing (rebase). Force pushing to a feature branch to clean up history before merging into master is not a bad practice.
