Mastering Git in 6 minutes: A beginner's guide to Git commands

In real-time projects, Git is our best friend — but sometimes it becomes a puzzle! Here are some common Git issues teams face in day-to-day DevOps work 👇 🚫 Merge Conflicts — when multiple people change the same file or line. 💥 Detached HEAD State — happens when you checkout a commit instead of a branch. 🔁 Rebase gone wrong — leads to overwritten commits or lost changes. 🕵️ Wrong branch commits — pushing code to main instead of your feature branch. 🔒 Permission errors — while pushing or pulling due to access or SSH key issues. ✅ Tip: Always take a backup branch before doing a rebase or reset, and pull the latest changes before committing. Git is powerful — mastering it saves hours in debugging and helps maintain clean version control in any DevOps pipeline. #Git #GitHub #DevOps #VersionControl #CICD

💡The .gitignore file in Git helps you keep your repo clean by excluding unnecessary files like logs, temporary files, build outputs, or system-generated files from being tracked. It’s a simple yet powerful way to maintain a professional and clutter-free project repository. 🚀 #DevOps #Git

Just ran into a neat workflow solution for Docker builds in Git repos. Have you ever wanted to build an image from your code but only include committed changes? Stashing changes works, but there's a cleaner way. Git worktrees are brilliant for this. You can create a separate worktree from your committed code while keeping your current branch untouched. No need to stash, commit, or revert - just build directly from the committed version. This has saved me from more than one "oops, didn't mean to include those debug prints" moment in CI/CD pipelines. What's cool is how it solves a subtle but important problem: the mental load of managing temporary changes. As a full-stack developer, anything that reduces context switching helps me stay in the flow. It's these small workflow tweaks that add up to significant productivity gains over time. If you're building Docker images from Git repos, definitely give this approach a try. Clean builds, less mental overhead, and fewer surprises in production. #Docker #Git #DevOps #Productivity #FullStack
