I finally started using Git more heavily a few years ago when I first began building some of my bigger side projects. Now, it’s true that typing git status and git push is pretty easy, but if you’ve got some Git experience you know some commands can get rather long. The one that always got me was: $ git commit --amend --no-edit This amends your staged changes into your most recent commit without changing its commit message (so Git won’t open a text editor!).
