🐙 Git Version Control Mastery: Complete Curriculum Index
Welcome to the Git Version Control Mastery curriculum. This track takes engineers deep into Git's internal DAG object model, advanced branching strategies, interactive rebasing & disaster recovery, multi-worktree workflows, and automated pre-commit hook security.
Every guide in this series strictly follows a two-part learning format:
- ⚡ Quick Dive: Command cheat sheets, merge matrices, and CLI workflows for instant reference.
- 📖 Extended Guide: Complete
.gitinternal mechanics, reflog disaster recoveries, worktree topologies, and SSH signing standards.
📚 Curriculum Roadmap
| # | Guide | Primary Topics Covered |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Git Fundamentals & Object Model | The DAG content-addressable object store (blobs, trees, commits, tags), .git anatomy, staging index, and basic commands. |
| 02 | Branching Strategies & Merge Workflows | Fast-Forward (--ff) vs. True Merges (--no-ff), Squash Merging, Trunk-Based Development vs. GitFlow, and conflict resolution. |
| 03 | Interactive Rebase & Reflog Recovery | Interactive rebasing (rebase -i), squash/fixup workflows, disaster recovery with git reflog, cherry-picking, and git bisect. |
| 04 | Git Worktrees & Submodules | Simultaneous multi-branch checkouts with git worktree, nested repository management with git submodule, and sparse checkouts. |
| 05 | Git Hooks, Conventional Commits & Signing | Pre-commit/commit-msg hooks, Conventional Commits specification, automated changelog generation, and SSH/GPG cryptographic commit signing. |
