Git Advanced Operations

Cherry-pick, interactive rebase, reflog, and bisect — the toolkit for selectively porting commits, cleaning up messy history, recovering seemingly lost work, and hunting down exactly which commit introduced a regression.

Learning objectives

  • Advanced: Use cherry-pick to apply a specific commit from one branch onto another without merging the entire branch.
  • Advanced: Use interactive rebase to squash, reorder, and edit commits before they're shared.
  • Advanced: Recover a commit that no branch or tag points to anymore using reflog.
  • Advanced: Use bisect to binary-search a commit range and identify exactly which commit introduced a regression.
