October Meetup | git config --make-git-work-for-you with Jordan Duabe

One of the first things you do after installing git is setting up your name and email address. What other options are available to customise your git usage?

In this talk, Jordan explores some uncommon (and interesting) git configuration settings that cover quality of life changes like autocorrect and aliases, workflow specific settings like fixup commits and autosquashing for rebase, and "Conditional Includes" for advanced use cases.

With these options you can get git to work in the way that fits your workflow.
