I like to use git status -sb. Basically, it gives you the clean version of git status.

I don't know, but I think it depends on whether you are a git master (if you are so good).

TIL git rebase -i HEAD~10, and edit it to either split or squash commits. Then git push -f.

git config --global core.editor 'nano' is required, if you are bad with vim. If you want to use VSCode, probably 'code -w', I think, I forgot.

• Daniel - You can update the commit message even after it's pushed.

  • You've to push changed commit forcefully.
  • git push origin <branch_name> -f
