Summary

In this chapter, we enhanced our knowledge about Git and its wide set of commands. We discovered how configuration levels work, and how to set our preferences using Git by, for example, adding useful command aliases to the shell. Then we looked at how Git deals with stashes, providing the way to shelve then and reapply changes.

Furthermore, we added some other techniques to our skill set, learning some things we will use as soon as we start to use Git extensively. Some simple tricks provide a way to stimulate the curiosity of the reader: Git has a lot more commands to explore.

In the next chapter, we will leave the console for a while, and talk about strategies to better organize our repositories. We will try to learn how to make significant commits, and we will get to know some of the adoptable flows to reconcile Git with our way of working.
