Software development has come to rely heavily on Git for version control. But whilst it has great power, it can also be a beast to work with. 160+ commands, thousands of parameters, and the help files are a massive read.
What we offer here is a concise round up of the common problems you can face with Git. A wide ranging set of quick tips, complete with the commands you'll need to type into Git. Designed to be comprehensive but also quick to read, to get you back pushing to production as soon as possible.

Git commit --amend is a powerful tool to fix problem commits, add files and more. We show you how to use it.
Git stash is a feature in Git SCM that lets you save your work when you’re not ready to commit. Read more to find out how to use it.
