Additional Git Features
Johan Abildskov · Apress eBooks · 2020
In this chapter, I have a lovely amalgam of Git features for you – features that I could not find any place to put. The reason they ended up here might be that where they would have originally fit, we had not established the right mental models, or that they are slightly tangential to the rest of the content in this book. These are features that might help you in your work but should not come into play on an everyday basis. Being aware of their existence might key you in for those dire situations where they are just the right thing for you. We cover figuring out what specific commit introduced a discrepancy using Git bisect. We use Git Submodules to manage dependencies between repositories. And we are going to use Git Large File Storage or Git LFS for short. If you made it this far, congratulations. You have completed the Practical Git curriculum and mastered the foundations. The rest is the icing on the cake.
