Git Mastery

This isn't a command cheat sheet. It's a 22-module Git curriculum built around how senior engineers actually use Git on real teams - language fundamentals plus the depth most platforms never reach: the object database, how the index really works, the wire protocol, garbage collection, and the production workflows that survive long-running release branches under deadline.

You'll work through the fundamentals (init, clone, staging, commits, .gitignore), the everyday tools (history, undo, branching, merging, rebasing, remotes, tags), team and collaboration patterns (Gitflow, GitHub Flow, trunk-based development, pull requests and code review, cherry-picking), and the depth that separates mid from senior engineers: Git internals, submodules, performance at large-repo scale, hooks, commit hygiene, production workflows, repository governance, and the data-model deep dive - closing with an advanced power-user module and a capstone synthesis topic.

Every module and every topic in this course is free. The course is written ensemble-style with each topic carrying a named AlgoInsight-founder byline and a first-person story from production work at Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Stripe, and more.
