Git & Version Control

Collaborative Code Management

Git is an indispensable tool in my workflow. I have used it for every significant project for nearly a decade, from solo endeavors to large-scale team collaborations. I am highly proficient with its command-line interface and use it daily for all version control tasks.

Branching Strategies & Workflows

I have experience with various branching strategies, including Git Flow and simpler trunk-based development models. I am comfortable creating and managing branches, handling merges and rebases, and resolving conflicts to maintain a clean and understandable project history.

Platform Integration

My experience extends to using Git-based platforms like GitHub and GitLab for more than just code storage. In projects like DJPConnect, we leveraged GitLab for its integrated CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, and merge request (pull request) code review processes, making it a central hub for our development lifecycle.

Key Competencies

• CLI Proficiency: Expert command of git CLI for all operations.
• Branching & Merging: git branch, git merge, git rebase, cherry-pick.
• Collaboration: Using pull/merge requests for code reviews on GitHub and GitLab.
• CI/CD: Integrating Git with CI/CD tools to automate builds, testing, and deployments.
• Troubleshooting: Resolving complex merge conflicts and using tools like git bisect to find regressions.
