Want to remove a file from Git but keep it locally? Use git rm --cached <file> — it’s like telling Git “I never meant to track that anyway.” Kind of like ghosting… but for files. 👻

Mid-rebase and found a buggy commit? Use git commit --fixup <SHA>, then git rebase --autosquash <base>. This should keep history clean while fixing the issue properly

How do I delete all git branches, which have been merged 🧐 #Git #gitbutler

Coding dinosaur, or just experienced? 🦕 Does it still matter if AI writes the code? #coding #ai #developers #git

What is Jev? 🤔 TypeSafe’s new AI API for small, fast decisions, raced against two free local models at Tetris. Guess who wins 👀 #jev #ai #llm #localllm #tetris #devtools

Coding agents know Git. But does that mean Git is the best tool for them? We ran 300 graded version-control runs across Git, Jujutsu and GitButler using Claude Code and Codex. What interested us wasn’t just whether the agents got the right answer — but how much work it took them to get there. In…

Needing to revert a `git add` before making a commit? The command `git reset` is your best ally in this situation, allowing you to unstage files. While `git add` prepares a file for the next commit, `git reset` is designed to undo that action, ensuring that your staging area reflects only the…

Needing to undo recent local commits in Git? Using `git reset --soft`, you can revert to a previous commit while preserving your staging area, or go with a straightforward `git reset` that directly manipulates the HEAD pointer.

Got a bug but no idea where it crept in? If you know what line is broken, git blame helps you name names (👀). But if all you’ve got is a gut feeling and a broken feature, git bisect lets you binary-search your way through commit history

Thinking of cloning just one branch with git clone --branch? Sure, it works — but unless you're on a tight data diet or scripting something fancy, it’s usually more trouble than it’s worth. Just clone the repo and checkout the branch you need. Your future self (and maybe your cat) will thank you. 😼🐾

Sure, just rebase -i, rewrite history, pray to the Git gods, and hope you didn’t squash the wrong thing. Or… drag & drop like it’s 2025 😉 #git #gitbutler

Renaming a local Git branch? Use git branch -m for a proper rename — or git checkout -b if you’re feeling sneaky and don’t mind a little Git cheat. 😉 #git #gitbutler
