🐙 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 .git internal 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.
