git clean – a nice addition to git reset
Anybody working with git is probably well familiar with the way to undo the non-committed changes:
git reset --hard
As useful as the above command is, it still leaves some room for improvement. The above command will only undo non-committed changes on the files that git is tracking. Often, this would leave a whole bunch of files and directories in place, which are not tracked by git. So far, I’ve been using a really complicated approach for removing them, which involves git status, grep, cut, xargs, and rm. Yuck.
Turns out there is a better way, which I found in “Stupid git tricks” article:
git clean -df .
This one will forcefully remove all untracked files and directories from the current directory. Combining these two commands together results in all non-committed changes being undone, no matter if they are on tracked files or not. Cool!

Here’s an interesting article on why SQLite does not use git. The core reason is simple – the main developer of the SQLite just doesn’t like git, and there is nothing wrong with it. But in the article there are a few specific technical reasons of why not git, and why Fossil.
Oh sh*t, git!
Oh sh*t, git! is a collection of git problems, their solutions, and some explanations of how that happened and how to get out of it.
Git is hard: screwing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is f*cking impossible. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can’t search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know aboutin order to fix your problem.
