git-flight-rules is a collection of curated guidelines, operational resources, and a command reference for managing version control with Git. It provides a set of procedure-based rules and best practices designed to organize code history, branches, and collaborative development.
The project distinguishes itself by providing structured workflows for complex history manipulation and data recovery. This includes specific guidance on rewriting commit history to remove sensitive data, using the reference log to recover lost work, and employing binary searches to isolate regressions.
The resource covers a broad range of capabilities, including repository management, collaboration workflows for syncing forks and pull requests, and auditing tools for inspecting historical file states. It also addresses repository optimization through size reduction and the management of nested submodules.
