7 habits for better git usage

• everything begins with an issue
• always check the current branch before making any changes
• run "git pull" as often as possible
• commit as soon as possible
• commit should be referenced to the related issues
• never push changes to the main branch directly
• always keep the tree tidy by cleaning old branches

I can suggest

Make commits with atomic changes. Even better if you expand this advice to Pull Request.

and

Write good commit messages, the previous advice will make it easier. Good commit messages serve you as additional documentation.

yes, commit message should be concise, clear and meaningful. There are some rules to write good commit messages, depending on the git flow you choose. What I mentioned here are general.

Great habits!

This is the code I use for keeping local branches tidy. Sharing in case it helps anyone else.

git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^\*|master|dev)" | xargs git branch -d

What about commits message on how it should be written? and how do your format your code before you changed it? and how about branch naming? and how about git rebase to fetch last changes in the main branches :')))))))
