5 Underused Git Commands for Faster Problem-Solving

Short summary

A practical guide to five underused Git commands: interactive rebase for clean commit history, bisect for binary-search bug hunting, worktrees for parallel branch work, reflog for recovering lost commits, and interactive staging (git add -p) for partial commits. Each command includes a code snippet and a real-world scenario. The content is straightforward and useful for mid-level developers looking to level up their Git workflow.

• •git rebase -i lets you squash, reorder, and reword commits before pushing
• •git bisect binary-searches through commits to find where a bug was introduced
• •git reflog tracks 90 days of actions to recover accidentally deleted branches or force-pushed changes
