What I learned on the plane
I’ve been using git a lot recently but probably only about 10% of it; just enough to enable me to do what I need in order to manage several different lines of development. The Rubyist has a few git tricks in it that I really like. Here are a few that were new to me.
Your local git history is called the reflog
You can find individual commits locally by specifying the branch and a time:
$ git show master@{yesterday}
Or go back in sequence:
$ git show master@{5}
The rev-parse command, returning the SHA value of the commit:
$ git rev-parse master

Handy.
