Notes about git "advanced" use (1/2)

Some useful features of git that are rarely used
objects/info/alternates
This allows to access objects from another dir
Prefer this over $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES

"git remote"  to have local references to other repositories
You can fetch all branches from a remote to a safe place
You can manually specify how to fetch and push to a remote
"git cherry-pick" to take an individual commit from a local branch
This is especially useful if you commit by file
Note that upstream want commits by feature
"git show <commit>:pathname"
"git show <hash>"
You can recover any file from any commit or any diff
"git diff <commit> <pathname>
You can diff an individual file
"git diff <hash> <hash>"
You can diff releases or files
