Flight rules for Git

Flight rules for Git is a practical reference repository that collects essential tips, best practices, and rescue procedures for using Git effectively in real-world project workflows. It’s organized as a series of “rules” that codify common operations, troubleshooting patterns, and strategic guidelines that can help both new and seasoned developers avoid common pitfalls with version control. Rather than being a tutorial or beginner’s guide, it focuses on higher-leverage advice like how to recover lost commits, manage rebases safely, handle merge conflicts, and maintain a clean commit history. Each rule is written in a concise, example-oriented style so users can quickly understand what to do and why it matters when they encounter a specific situation. The repository serves as both a learning tool and a quick lookup for urgent scenarios, making Git less intimidating and more predictable.
