Git cherry-picking is one of those features developers often learn just enough to get by—but when used properly, it becomes a powerful tool for controlled code movement, risk reduction, and clean release management. This article explains cherry-picking thoroughly, from fundamentals to real-world workflows, including edge cases and considerations that

When working on a mature codebase, Git history can quickly become hard to read and harder to reason about. Feature branches, hotfixes, release branches, and frequent merges often clutter the commit log, making it difficult to see what actually changed. This is where git log --no-merges becomes an essential tool

In fast-moving engineering environments, requirements change, experiments fail, and sometimes features must be rolled back quickly. The git revert command is one of the most reliable tools for handling these scenarios safely. This article explains in a very clear manner how to: 1. Revert a commit cleanly 2. Understand what

In every development cycle, there are moments where you realize that one commit should not go into production yet. Maybe it introduces a half-finished feature, a bug, or something that needs business approval. The problem is, this commit is already merged into your main branch alongside other valuable changes. How
