git

Git is a popular version control system.

Tricks

Concise and consistent length and form
Communicate clear context about a change to fellow developers. Ensurethat other developers understand why a change was made.

Separate subject from body with a blank line if the body is to beused.
Limit subject line to 50 characters
Capitalize subject line
Do not end with period
Use imperative mood; I 'do' this. Rationale: If applied, the commitwill change these aspects of the code. Git's own built-in conventionsuse this form.
Wrap at 72 characters
Use the body to explain 'what' and 'why' as necessary

github organization:

managing research notes: ??? i am thinking a single org file for allof this

It's a good idea to reformat commits to make them more readable.

git reset HEAD~${number of commits to go back}

This did change the commit time for my latest commit, which is somethingto watch out for.

A git repository can have multiple working trees - allowing you tocheck out more than one workspace at a time!
- Among other things, this allows you to work on multiple branches atonce without having multiple copies of the file, and maps gitbranches or tags to other directories on your system. Use it tocheck on different efforts on projects without messing up yourcurrent editing environment - to look at code from other brancheslocally and simultaneously, for example!
\`git worktree add \$PATH\` :: Adds a new branch with a nameassociated with the final component of \$PATH. \`git worktree remove\`and \`git worktree prune\` both allow you to cut off externalworktrees.
Flow example: latest develop, latest branch of work, and a third forreviewing pull requests and/or the work from other developers.
