On: New in Git: switch and restore

[nerfbatplz]

Except for 99% of all git day to day tasks are done with like 7 commands.

Git commit

Git checkout

Git merge

Git pull

Git push

Git rebase

Git stash

I can’t remember I needed a command that wasn’t one of those and I exclusively use the cli.

I've used git for over a decade, and I can't think of anything new I've learned in the past 4 years.

And that last new thing was when git added worktree, which I don't actually use, but I learned about.

Contrast that with almost any other program....it's impressive.

It's funny but I forgot that Git restore was a new command, it only came in 2019 but I use it all the time.

I seem to use cherry-pick at least monthly, as well as log and diff.

I was gonna say cherry-pick is farily frequent for me. Also I seem to learn new variations once in a blue moon for common commands. E.g. recently I learned about the --cherry option for git-log and it changed my life.
