Git

Git is the foundation of modern software. In 2025, features like Sparse Checkout and Scalar (for monorepos) are becoming mainstream.

When to Use

Always: Use it for everything. Text files, config, code.
Bisect: Finding bugs by binary search.

Core Concepts

Graph

Commits form a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph).

Rebase vs Merge

Merge: Preserves history, creates bubbles.
Rebase: Rewrites history, linearizes.

Worktrees

Checkout multiple branches of the same repo in different folders simultaneously.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

Use
git switch
/
git restore
: The modern alternatives to the overloaded
```
git checkout
```
.
Use
git maintenance
: Speed up fetch/clone in the background.
Sign Commits: Use SSH keys to sign commits (
```
Commit Signing
```
).

Don't:

Don't force push to shared branches:
```
git push --force-with-lease
```
is the safer alternative.
