Git is an incredibly powerful tool for managing your code, but it can be tricky to master. Developers often make avoidable mistakes that can lead to headaches down the line. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the most common Git mistakes and how to prevent them. Whether you’re new to Git or an experienced user, these tips will help keep your workflow smooth and efficient.

Problem: Inconsistent or unclear naming of files, variables, and commit messages can lead to confusion and disorganization.

Solution:

  • Stick to a convention: Follow a consistent naming convention such as:
  • camelCase for variables
  • PascalCase for classes
  • kebab-case or snake_case for file names
  • Use descriptive commit messages: Clearly describe what changes were made and why in each commit.
  • Document your conventions: Keep a style guide for reference so that everyone on your team follows the same practices.
