Git GudA modern, straightforward Git workflow.

For developers who'd rather ship code than fight with branches.
A clean history isn't a nice-to-have; it's the foundation of a healthy codebase.

A cleaner Git history, less drama ​

Git can get noisy fast: unreadable commit messages, feature branches that haven't been touched since the last ice age, and develop turning into such a tangled mess of meaningless merge commits that it's impossible to track what actually shipped.

This documentation teaches a simple Trunk‑Based Development workflow so your main stays linear and readable-a history that tells a coherent story - without requiring a PhD in graph theory.

Use short‑lived branches to get work done, adopt standards for your commit messages, and automate as much as possible so reviews stay focused and merges are clean, making releases predictable and debugging faster.

This site distills what I’ve learned as a developer and DevOps engineer maintaining repositories, coaching teams, and solving the daily Git paper cuts. The opinions are mine; the commands, checklists, and habits are yours to steal.
