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

Super. Thanks for sharing

git log --oneline --graph

Thanks for sharing

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.

Love it. Although I know this one already

Understood, tested it. ☑️

Thanks, Daniel.

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

Ah classic. I know that one, too. Don't forget to force push. Thanks for sharing

May I please know what exactly the above command does ?

i like this:
git update-index --assume-unchanged filename

Awesome. Never used it before. Will try. Thanks for sharing
