4.4Git is powerful and most teams use maybe 10% of it — usually the wrong 10%, held together by copied commands and fear of rebase. This guide gives a small team one coherent workflow that keeps history clean, makes code review smooth, and turns merge conflicts from a crisis into a two-minute task. It covers a trunk-based branching model with short-lived feature branches, how to write commits that read like a changelog, the difference between merge and rebase and when to use each, how to resolve conflicts calmly, and the few recovery commands that get you out of almost any mess (reflog, reset, revert). Everything is shown as the exact commands you run, with the mental model behind them so you are not just memorizing incantations. After reading, your team will agree on one branching strategy, write reviewable pull requests, keep main releasable at all times, and recover from mistakes without panic or losing work. Who it is for: developers on small teams (2-10 people) who know basic add/commit/push but whose Git history is a tangle and whose conflict resolution is guesswork.
Only when you rebase shared/pushed branches. The guide gives the one rule (never rebase commits others have pulled) and shows where rebase is safe and useful, so you get clean history without breaking teammates' work.
No. The workflow uses plain Git plus the pull-request concept that GitHub, GitLab, and others all support. The commands are identical everywhere.
Yes. Short-lived branches plus frequent integration prevent most conflicts, and the guide gives a repeatable procedure for resolving the ones that remain.
