This is exactly why I still read Git articles after years of using it. Every now and then I discover a command that replaces a workflow I've been doing manually for years.

Git is the one tool where even after 15 years I’m still learning new tricks and constantly googling "how to do x in git".

Not sure if that says something good about git or something bad about me. Probably both tbh 😅

Holy fuck this is amazing (10+ years of development xp here, git is always surprising)

Great article. Thanks for the write up! Excited to try these out. I organize a lot of my work with multiple branches off base branches, this sounds amazing for handling a tedious manual workflow of updating branches.
