In this episode, host Brian Okken and guest Adam Johnson explore essential Git features, highlighted by Adam's updated book, "Boost Your Git DX."

Key topics include

"cherry picking" for selective commits
"git stash" for managing in-progress work
"git diff", and specifically its `--name-only` flag, which provides a streamlined method for developers to identify which files have changed, which can be used to determine which tests need to be run
"git bisect" for efficiently pinpointing bugs.

This conversation offers valuable strategies for developers at any skill level to enhance their Git proficiency and optimize their coding workflows.
