Show Notes

In this episode, host Brian Okken and guest Adam Johnson explore essential Git features, highlighted by Adam's updated book, "Boost Your Git DX." 

Key topics include 

  • "cherry picking" for selective commits
  • "git stash" for managing in-progress work
  • "git diff", and specifically its `--name-only` flag, which provides a streamlined method for developers to identify which files have changed, which can be used to determine which tests need to be run
  • "git bisect" for efficiently pinpointing bugs. 

This conversation offers valuable strategies for developers at any skill level to enhance their Git proficiency and optimize their coding workflows.
