Advanced Git

Welcome to the Advanced Git module. Here, you will move beyond add, commit, and push to master the tools that allow you to rewrite history, recover lost work, and debug complex regressions.

Module Contents

1. Interactive Rebase

Learn how to surgically alter your commit history. Squash work-in-progress commits, reorder features, and fix typos using git rebase -i. Includes an Interactive Rebase Simulator.

2. Rewriting History

Understand the differences between git reset (–soft, –mixed, –hard) and git revert. Learn when to rewrite history and when to preserve it. Includes a Reset Visualizer.

3. Reflog and Recovery

Discover Git’s safety net. Learn how to use git reflog to recover “lost” commits and restore deleted branches. Includes a Reflog Explorer.

4. Git Bisect

Stop linear debugging. Use binary search to find the exact commit that introduced a bug in seconds, not hours. Includes a Bisect Simulator.
