In Git, the small things matter more than you think. One wrong command — and you've overwritten someone's work, wiped your own history, or pushed something that should never have left your machine. It's not always the big decisions that break a project. Sometimes it's just: → using git reset --hard when you meant --soft → force pushing to main without thinking → not knowing git cherry-pick exists when you needed it most I put together a simple, no-fluff Git command reference — every command explained with when to use it, not just what it does. I've also modified and shared it here so it's easy to read and quick to refer back to whenever you feel stuck, AMEN 📎 https://lnkd.in/dr2YvYPb #Git #GitHub #VersionControl #Developer #SoftwareDevelopment #CodingTips #Programming
