I replied to an individual comment, but I would just like to comment generally too - this article is 4 years old and if I wrote the article now there would have been more advanced information.

At the time beginners in git weren't doing much of this stuff, so they were tips for people who had used git daily, but this stuff wasn't common knowledge being done by all developers.

If anyone has anything they'd like to see in an advanced article, let me know and maybe I'll consider writing a "Tips for becoming an Advanced Git User" :-)

"I think it's because they author doesn't understand git and doesn't know what they are doing."

Thanks for your kind comment...

I would like to point out that this article is over 4 years old (hence my knowledge will have increased since then) and it was also basically my notes on our training with Scott Chacon of GitHub. I'm sure you wouldn't consider him to not "know what [he is] doing". Maybe it reflected best practices at the time the training was delivered and the article was written.

Anyway, I appreciate it's resurgence in popularity...
