Git articles on my blog

I often write about Git but the Git articles are mixed in with everything else. Someday I will rearrange everything. In the meantime I will try to keep a list of links on this page.

• Another Git catastrophe cleaned up
• Another trivial utility: git-q
• Automatically checking for syntax errors with Git's pre-commit hook
• git log --author=... confused me
• git log --follow enthusiastically tracks empty files
  • And what happened when I tried to fix this: Perils of hacking on mature software
• Git PSA: git-rev-parse
• Git remote branches and Git's missing terminology
• Git wishlist: aggregate changes across non-contiguous commits
• Git's rejected push error
• A hack for getting the email address Git will use for a commit
• Hacking the git shell prompt
• How I got four errors into a one-line program (prepare-commit-hook))
• How to recover lost files added to Git but not committed
• I wish people would stop insisting that Git branches are nothing but refs
• Notes on using git-replace to get rid of giant objects
• Reordering git commits (not patches) with interactive rebase
• Reordering git commits with git-commit-tree
  • And another solution to this problem
• Rewriting published history in Git
• Things I wish everyone knew about Git:
  • Srtst vrsn: Two things everyone should know about Git
  • Part I: General strategy and READ THIS
  • Part II: It's hard to lose stuff and if you do you can find it again
  • Part III: Misc (Branches are fictitious, committing partial changes; push and fetch; tracking branches)
• Why didn't git add -p work?
