How do I create the perfect commit?

—To create the perfect commit, add the right changes that pertain to a single topic and compose a concise commit message summarizing the changes.

What are some popular branching strategies?

—Two popular branching strategies are GitHub Flow, which emphasizes a single long-running branch, and Git Flow, which introduces more structure with multiple long-running branches for features and releases.

How do pull requests work?

—Pull requests allow for code review and collaboration. Developers can propose changes in their forks and request the integration of the changes into the main repository.

How should I handle merge conflicts?

—Merge conflicts occur when integrating changes from different sources. They can be resolved by carefully reviewing conflicting lines of code and making the necessary changes to ensure a successful merge.

What are some advanced Git workflow techniques?

—Advanced Git workflow techniques include interactive rebasing, cherry picking, and using stashes to manage code changes more efficiently.
