Use this reference to understand Git workflows and internals, from staging changes and managing branches to merging, rebasing, and working with remotes. It also covers diffs, hooks, worktrees, submodules, configuration, and commands for inspecting or recovering repository state.
Use when working with Git — object model, references, index, branching, merging, rebasing, remotes, diffs, config, hooks, worktrees, submodules, and plumbing commands. Triggers on: "git", "git branch", "git commit", "git merge", "git rebase", "git checkout", "git stash", "git reset", "git submodule", "git worktree", "git blame", "git bisect", "git reflog", "git hooks", "git config".
