It has been a while since I posted an article, and even more since I posted an article about my workflow. Let’s fix this.
Git is a powerful tool. It helps us keep the history of our projects, which is useful in the case we want to go back in time, still support an old version, or simply have traceability. It also helps us collaborate with others, by providing a way to share changes to the code and integrate them. It helps to find bugs, by allowing bisecting on which change it has been introduced. But it can also seem to be very messy to use when first approaching it.
I’ve been there, so I feel the pain of newcomers, and the vast amount of information there is to understand about Git before being really comfortable with it. Something clicked when I read the Pro Git book, which I advise you to read because it explains very well all the concepts behind Git. I’ve also read a lot of articles explaining different workflows, good practices, and tips, which are now an integral part of my daily workflow.
