Interactive rebase is the Swiss Army knife of Git history editing.
Common Operations:
pick: Keep commit as-isreword: Change commit messageedit: Amend commit contentsquash: Combine with previous commitfixup: Like squash but discard messagedrop: Remove commit entirelyBasic Usage:
# Rebase last 5 commits
git rebase -i HEAD~5
# Rebase all commits on current branch
git rebase -i $(git merge-base HEAD main)
# Rebase onto specific commit
git rebase -i abc123
Apply specific commits from one branch to another without merging entire branches.
# Cherry-pick single commit
git cherry-pick abc123
# Cherry-pick range of commits (exclusive start)
git cherry-pick abc123..def456
# Cherry-pick without committing (stage changes only)
git cherry-pick -n abc123
# Cherry-pick and edit commit message
git cherry-pick -e abc123
Binary search through commit history to find the commit that introduced a bug.
# Start bisect
git bisect start
# Mark current commit as bad
git bisect bad
# Mark known good commit
git bisect good v1.0.0
# Git will checkout middle commit - test it
# Then mark as good or bad
git bisect good # or: git bisect bad
# Continue until bug found
# When done
git bisect reset
Automated Bisect:
# Use script to test automatically
git bisect start HEAD v1.0.0
git bisect run ./test.sh
# test.sh should exit 0 for good, 1-127 (except 125) for bad
Work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or switching.
# List existing worktrees
git worktree list
# Add new worktree for feature branch
git worktree add ../project-feature feature/new-feature
# Add worktree and create new branch
git worktree add -b bugfix/urgent ../project-hotfix main
# Remove worktree
git worktree remove ../project-feature
# Prune stale worktrees
git worktree prune
Your safety net - tracks all ref movements, even deleted commits.

# Recover lost commits
git reset --hard def456
# Or create branch from lost commit
git branch recovery def456
When to Rebase:
When to Merge:
# Update feature branch with main changes (rebase)
git checkout feature/my-feature
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main
# Handle conflicts
git status
# Fix conflicts in files
git add .
git rebase --continue

# Later, fix something in that commit
# Stage changes
git commit --fixup HEAD # or specify commit hash
# Make more changes
git commit --fixup abc123

gh) EssentialsUse the official GitHub CLI to manage repos, PRs, and releases directly from the terminal without relying on the web UI.
# Launch guided auth (pick HTTPS + GitHub.com, paste PAT if prompted)
gh auth login
# Verify current identity + scopes
gh auth status
# Clone via gh
gh repo clone org/project
# View repo details / open in browser
gh repo view --web
# Create issue or PR from current branch
gh issue create --title "Bug: race condition" --body "Steps to reproduce..."
gh pr create --fill --base main --head feature/xyz
# Check PR status, checkout locally, and merge
gh pr status
gh pr checkout 123
gh pr merge 123 --squash --delete-branch
# Draft and publish release from annotated tag
gh release create v1.4.0 --title "v1.4.0" --notes-file CHANGELOG.md
# Upload artifacts to release
gh release upload v1.4.0 dist/*.tar.gz
# Manage repo secrets (requires admin on repo)
gh secret set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --body "$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"
gh secret delete AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
# Delete a remote repository (requires delete_repo scope)
gh repo delete org/project --confirm
# Transfer repo ownership
gh repo transfer org/project new-owner
Always double-check repo names and required scopes before running destructive commands. The CLI respects your Git credential helper, so log out (gh auth logout) on shared machines.
When initializing a new git repository, follow these company-specific guidelines to ensure proper setup and compliance with our infrastructure requirements.
# 1. Initialize the repository
git init
# 2. Configure repository settings
git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email "your.email@company.com"
# 3. Add all project files
git add .
IMPORTANT: The first commit in any repository must follow our company's initialization commit format. This enables our CI/CD pipeline to properly detect new repositories and configure automated workflows.
The initial commit message must use this exact format:
chore(init): initialize repository
Project: <project-name>
Team: <team-name>
Classification: <internal|public|confidential>
Example:
git commit -m "chore(init): initialize repository
Project: user-authentication-service
Team: platform-engineering
Classification: internal"
name: git-advanced-workflows description: "Master advanced Git workflows including rebasing, cherry-picking, bisect, worktrees, and reflog to maintain clean history and recover from any situation.

# Git Advanced Workflows
Master advanced Git techniques to maintain clean history, collaborate effectively, and recover from any situation with confidence.
## When to Use This Skill
- Initializing a git repository with our company specific guidelines
- Cleaning up commit history before merging
- Applying specific commits across branches
- Finding commits that introduced bugs
- Working on multiple features simultaneously
- Recovering from Git mistakes or lost commits
- Managing complex branch workflows
- Preparing clean PRs for review
- Synchronizing diverged branches
## Core Concepts
### 1. Interactive Rebase
Interactive rebase is the Swiss Army knife of Git history editing.
**Common Operations:**
- `pick`: Keep commit as-is
- `reword`: Change commit message
- `edit`: Amend commit content
- `squash`: Combine with previous commit
- `fixup`: Like squash but discard message
- `drop`: Remove commit entirely
**Basic Usage:**
```bash
# Rebase last 5 commits
git rebase -i HEAD~5
# Rebase all commits on current branch
git rebase -i $(git merge-base HEAD main)
# Rebase onto specific commit
git rebase -i abc123
```
### 2. Cherry-Picking
Apply specific commits from one branch to another without merging entire branches.
```bash
# Cherry-pick single commit
git cherry-pick abc123
# Cherry-pick range of commits (exclusive start)
git cherry-pick abc123..def456
# Cherry-pick without committing (stage changes only)
git cherry-pick -n abc123
# Cherry-pick and edit commit message
git cherry-pick -e abc123
```
### 3. Git Bisect
Binary search through commit history to find the commit that introduced a bug.
```bash
# Start bisect
git bisect start
# Mark current commit as bad
git bisect bad
# Mark known good commit
git bisect good v1.0.0
# Git will checkout middle commit - test it
# Then mark as good or bad
git bisect good # or: git bisect bad
# Continue until bug found
# When done
git bisect reset
```
**Automated Bisect:**
```bash
# Use script to test automatically
git bisect start HEAD v1.0.0
git bisect run ./test.sh
# test.sh should exit 0 for good, 1-127 (except 125) for bad
```
### 4. Worktrees
Work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or switching.
```bash
# List existing worktrees
git worktree list
# Add new worktree for feature branch
git worktree add ../project-feature feature/new-feature
# Add worktree and create new branch
git worktree add -b bugfix/urgent ../project-hotfix main
# Remove worktree
git worktree remove ../project-feature
# Prune stale worktrees
git worktree prune
```
### 5. Reflog
Your safety net - tracks all ref movements, even deleted commits.
```bash
# View reflog
git reflog
# View reflog for specific branch
git reflog show feature/branch
# Restore deleted commit
git reflog
# Find commit hash
git checkout abc123
git branch recovered-branch
# Restore deleted branch
git reflog
git branch deleted-branch abc123
```
## Practical Workflows
### Workflow 1: Clean Up Feature Branch Before PR
```bash
# Start with feature branch
git checkout feature/user-auth
# Interactive rebase to clean history
git rebase -i main
# Example rebase operations:
# - Squash "fix typo" commits
# - Reword commit messages for clarity
# - Reorder commits logically
# - Drop unnecessary commits
# Force push cleaned branch (safe if no one else is using it)
git push --force-with-lease origin feature/user-auth
```
### Workflow 2: Apply Hotfix to Multiple Releases
```bash
# Create fix on main
git checkout main
git commit -m "fix: critical security patch"
# Apply to release branches
git checkout release/2.0
git cherry-pick abc123
git checkout release/1.9
git cherry-pick abc123
# Handle conflicts if they arise
git cherry-pick --continue
# or
git cherry-pick --abort
```
### Workflow 3: Find Bug Introduction
```bash
# Start bisect
git bisect start
git bisect bad HEAD
git bisect good v2.1.0
# Git checks out middle commit - run tests
npm test
# If tests fail
git bisect bad
# If tests pass
git bisect good
# Git will automatically checkout next commit to test
# Repeat until bug found
# Automated version
git bisect start HEAD v2.1.0
git bisect run npm test
```
### Workflow 4: Multi-Branch Development
```bash
# Main project directory
cd ~/projects/myapp
# Create worktree for urgent bugfix
git worktree add ../myapp-hotfix hotfix/critical-bug
# Work on hotfix in separate directory
cd ../myapp-hotfix
# Make changes, commit
git commit -m "fix: resolve critical bug"
git push origin hotfix/critical-bug
# Return to main work without interruption
cd ~/projects/myapp
git fetch origin
git cherry-pick hotfix/critical-bug
# Clean up when done
git worktree remove ../myapp-hotfix
```
### Workflow 5: Recover from Mistakes
```bash
# Accidentally reset to wrong commit
git reset --hard HEAD~5 # Oh no!
# Use reflog to find lost commits
git reflog
# Output shows:
# abc123 HEAD@{0}: reset: moving to HEAD~5
# def456 HEAD@{1}: commit: my important changes
# Recover lost commits
git reset --hard def456
# Or create branch from lost commit
git branch recovery def456
```
## Advanced Techniques
### Rebase vs Merge Strategy
**When to Rebase:**
- Cleaning up local commits before pushing
- Keeping feature branch up-to-date with main
- Creating linear history for easier review
**When to Merge:**
- Integrating completed features into main
- Preserving exact history of collaboration
- Public branches used by others
```bash
# Update feature branch with main changes (rebase)
git checkout feature/my-feature
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main
# Handle conflicts
git status
# Fix conflicts in files
git add .
git rebase --continue
# Or merge instead
git merge origin/main
```
### Autosquash Workflow
Automatically squash fixup commits during rebase.
```bash
# Make initial commit
git commit -m "feat: add user authentication"
# Later, fix something in that commit
# Stage changes
git commit --fixup HEAD # or specify commit hash
# Make more changes
git commit --fixup abc123
# Rebase with autosquash
git rebase -i --autosquash main
# Git automatically marks fixup commits
```
### Split Commit
Break one commit into multiple logical commits.
```bash
# Start interactive rebase
git rebase -i HEAD~3
# Mark commit to split with 'edit'
# Git will stop at that commit
# Reset commit but keep changes
git reset HEAD^
# Stage and commit in logical chunks
git add file1.py
git commit -m "feat: add validation"
git add file2.py
git commit -m "feat: add error handling"
# Continue rebase
git rebase --continue
```
### Partial Cherry-Pick
Cherry-pick only specific files from a commit.
```bash
# Show files in commit
git show --name-only abc123
# Checkout specific files from commit
git checkout abc123 -- path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py
# Stage and commit
git commit -m "cherry-pick: apply specific changes from abc123"
```
## Best Practices
1. **Always Use --force-with-lease**: Safer than --force, prevents overwriting others' work
2. **Rebase Only Local Commits**: Don't rebase commits that have been pushed and shared
3. **Descriptive Commit Messages**: Future you will thank present you
4. **Atomic Commits**: Each commit should be a single logical change
5. **Test Before Force Push**: Ensure history rewrite didn't break anything
6. **Keep Reflog Aware**: Remember reflog is your safety net for 90 days
7. **Branch Before Risky Operations**: Create backup branch before complex rebases
```bash
# Safe force push
git push --force-with-lease origin feature/branch
# Create backup before risky operation
git branch backup-branch
git rebase -i main
# If something goes wrong
git reset --hard backup-branch
```
## Common Pitfalls
- **Rebasing Public Branches**: Causes history conflicts for collaborators
- **Force Pushing Without Lease**: Can overwrite teammate's work
- **Losing Work in Rebase**: Resolve conflicts carefully, test after rebase
- **Forgetting Worktree Cleanup**: Orphaned worktrees consume disk space
- **Not Backing Up Before Experiment**: Always create safety branch
- **Bisect on Dirty Working Directory**: Commit or stash before bisecting
## Recovery Commands
```bash
# Abort operations in progress
git rebase --abort
git merge --abort
git cherry-pick --abort
git bisect reset
# Restore file to version from specific commit
git restore --source=abc123 path/to/file
# Undo last commit but keep changes
git reset --soft HEAD^
# Undo last commit and discard changes
git reset --hard HEAD^
# Recover deleted branch (within 90 days)
git reflog
git branch recovered-branch abc123
```
## GitHub CLI (`gh`) Essentials
Use the official GitHub CLI to manage repos, PRs, and releases directly from the terminal without relying on the web UI.
### Authenticate Once
```bash
# Launch guided auth (pick HTTPS + GitHub.com, paste PAT if prompted)
gh auth login
# Verify current identity + scopes
gh auth status
```
### Daily Repo Tasks
```bash
# Clone via gh
gh repo clone org/project
# View repo details / open in browser
gh repo view --web
# Create issue or PR from current branch
gh issue create --title "Bug: race condition" --body "Steps to reproduce..."
gh pr create --fill --base main --head feature/xyz
# Check PR status, checkout locally, and merge
gh pr status
gh pr checkout 123
gh pr merge 123 --squash --delete-branch
```
### Manage Releases & Secrets
```bash
# Draft and publish release from annotated tag
gh release create v1.4.0 --title "v1.4.0" --notes-file CHANGELOG.md
# Upload artifacts to release
gh release upload v1.4.0 dist/*.tar.gz
# Manage repo secrets (requires admin on repo)
gh secret set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --body "$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"
gh secret delete AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
```
### Dangerous Operations (Use Carefully)
```bash
# Delete a remote repository (requires delete_repo scope)
gh repo delete org/project --confirm
# Transfer repo ownership
gh repo transfer org/project new-owner
```
Always double-check repo names and required scopes before running destructive commands. The CLI respects your Git credential helper, so log out (`gh auth logout`) on shared machines.

## Repository Initialization Guidelines
When initializing a new git repository, follow these company-specific guidelines to ensure proper setup and compliance with our infrastructure requirements.
### Standard Initialization Procedure
```bash
# 1. Initialize the repository
git init
# 2. Configure repository settings
git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email "your.email@company.com"
# 3. Add all project files
git add .
```
### First Commit Rule
**IMPORTANT:** The first commit in any repository must follow our company's initialization commit format. This enables our CI/CD pipeline to properly detect new repositories and configure automated workflows.
The initial commit message must use this exact format:
```
chore(init): initialize repository
Project: <project-name>
Team: <team-name>
Classification: <internal|public|confidential>
```
Example:
```bash
git commit -m "chore(init): initialize repository
Project: user-authentication-service
Team: platform-engineering
Classification: internal"
```
