Good pull requests are small, test-backed, and easy to revert; good reviews focus on design and risk, not style nitpicks. Practices for authors and reviewers when Git history is shared on a protected main branch.
Git glossary
Git and GitHub terms used across the series—blob, index, rebase, pull request, and more—each defined briefly and linked to the chapter that explains the idea in depth.
GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions runs workflows on Git events—push, pull request, schedule— using YAML in .github/workflows. This overview covers jobs, steps, runners, reusable actions, secrets, matrices, caching, and a complete Node CI pipeline you can adapt.
Pull requests with and without GitHub
Review and integrate changes through pull requests on GitHub—or through email patches and git request-pull when no host is involved. Covers forks, the PR lifecycle, merge strategies, branch protection, and the gh CLI.
Working with remotes
Clone a repository, add a remote, fetch and push commits, and set upstream tracking branches—the mechanics of sharing history with GitHub or any Git server, plus pitfalls when pulling or force-pushing with teammates.
Searching in GitHub
GitHub search spans code, paths, commits, issues, and pull requests with qualifiers such as in:file, language, and repo—plus links to the docs when you need the full query syntax.
