Tips on learning Git as I moved my primary toolchain to Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2



## Getting started

- [Atlassian Git tutorials](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials)
- [Git beginners guide](https://youtu.be/3FKrszHcIsA) - at 11 hours, it's much more than a beginner's guide

## Tips and tricks

- Rename a local branch: 
```shell
git branch -m <old_name> <new_name>
```
- Reset local repository branch to be just like remote repository HEAD:
```shell
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
```
- Show just the files which changed in each commit:
```shell
git log --name-only --oneline
```
- [Dangit, Git!?!](https://dangitgit.com/)
- A brilliant "choose your own adventure style" tree [On undoing, fixing, or removing commits in git](https://sethrobertson.github.io/GitFixUm/fixup.html) - I find myself drawn to it, given it has questions like:
> Are you trying to find that which is lost or fix a change that was made?
- [Git commit message template](https://dev.to/easyaspython/form-habits-by-making-the-right-thing-easiest-p75)
