  • Git Merge and Rebase. Plus Interactive Rebasing and Why It's Not So Scary.
    Oct 7 2025

    Today, I'm stepping beyond the nine essential Git commands you need to know that I covered in the previous episode by talking about Git merge, rebase, and interactive rebasing.

    These are commands that you need to become comfortable with (well, maybe not interactive rebasing) if you want to use Git in any meaningful way. I hope that, after listening to this episode, you feel that interactive rebasing, when used thoughtfully, properly, is your friend, and nothing to be afraid of.

  • Do you prefer using Git on the command-line or with a GUI?
    Sep 15 2025

    Do you prefer using Git on the command-line or with a GUI? That's what I'm keen to find out in this episode of the podcast.

    Why? Because I’m an avid Git command-line user, and have been for over 10 years! But, recently, I’ve been experimenting with some of the GUI tools available for Git to see if if I’m missing out on anything, and how the experience differs from the command line.

    In this episode, I share with you what it's like using Git Tower, and Git GUIs in general, as a long-time command-line user, and some of the pros and cons of each approach.
