Wow thanks Dan! Great screencast. Definitely makes some concepts easier to understand. And nice job using git to tell the tale of the dragon!

This post inspired me to record a screencast on git rebase versus merge. It’s close to 15 min, but it covers git init, commit, branch, rebase, and merge. I added autosquash just for Kaali. Enjoy, and thanks for this article: http://youtu.be/Z8kBgrF98cA

Cool write-up — I wish more companies had a tech blog like Hulu.

(Although somewhere around your edit note at the bottom, you are missing a closing italics tag, which causes the entire http://tech.hulu.com/blog/ page to be italicized below that point, at least on my Mac Chrome.)

Thanks Kaali, that's pretty cool! I'll definitely try it out.

You can improve the workflow a bit by using interactive rebase autosquash. If you prefix your commit message with "squash!" or "fixup!", git rebase -i --autosquash will automatically mark those commits as squash or fixup commits.

With Git 1.7.4, you can use the new commit aliases to make this easier, see the man for --fixup and --squash

Excellent read. I love Git, and I've always known that its power allows for techniques like these, but I've never thought about employing a workflow quite like this myself. I'll certainly be giving it a shot starting tomorrow morning.

This is awesome!!! This is something I’ve always wanted to do but was never aware that git is actually capable of all this. Thanks for the great post
