Git Problems and Solutions

Nava Whiteford over at 41j has a useful list of common Git problems and their solutions. It’s almost like a mini-recipe book. For example, what if you made a mistake in your commit message? Whiteford tells you to use the Git amend command. Or worse, what if you want to get rid of your last commit? Again, Whiteford tells you what to do.

The list is a great resource and should be especially helpful if you are a casual Git user. It’s easy to handle almost everything you need to do with Magit (say) using a very few basic commands. Occasionally, you find yourself in an unfamiliar position that you need to escape from. It doesn’t happen often enough that you become familiar with the solution and that’s when a list like this is irreplaceable.

In keeping with the git recipe book theme, we also have this list of git recipes from Casper Beyer. It fits right in with Whiteford’s list.
