Do you know Git? Of course you do! Today, I’ve got a few of my favorite Git commands for you. When I was a junior developer, my tech lead taught me most of them (hi Wojtek, if you’re reading this 👋) and later, I started teaching the same commands to my own junior and mid-level developers.
I’ve actually been meaning to write this article for months. But you know how it is. It’s evergreen content, it requires a bit of work, and meanwhile I kept coming up with other ideas, so I kept postponing it. What finally motivated me was @francistrdev, who recently published his own article about Git commands.
My article will be a little different, though. If you’re completely new to Git and still learning the basics, check out Francis’s Git Gud! article first. But if add, commit, pull, and push are already second nature to you, this article is for you.
These are, let’s say, intermediate-level commands. Useful ones. The kind you actually need at work, but not yet senior-level Git magic like:
Type three lines into your terminal and a spaceship will appear in your repository.
