Pro Tips
Use 'git status' frequently to understand the current state of your working directory and staging area.
Create a .gitignore file early in your project to prevent accidentally committing sensitive or unnecessary files.
Use 'git add -p' to interactively stage specific chunks of changes, keeping your commits focused and atomic.
Common Mistakes
Never commit sensitive data like API keys, passwords, or private certificates. Once pushed, they remain in git history.
Avoid using 'git add .' blindly - always review what you're staging to prevent unwanted files from being committed.
