Pro Tips

Use 'git log --oneline --graph' for a visual representation of your branch structure and history.

Use 'git log -S "searchterm"' to find commits that added or removed a specific string (pickaxe search).

git blame with -L option lets you see history for specific line ranges: 'git blame -L 10,20 file.js'

Common Mistakes

Don't use git blame to assign personal blame - use it to understand context and find who can explain the code.
