Abstract
Git is an engineer’s tool, built by engineers. This means that while Git works a certain way out of the box, the real power is unleashed when we start customizing Git to match our way of working. With Git, we can do a lot in terms of simple configurations, creating shortcuts for the tasks that we often use, or have repository-specific configurations to help us manage the different contexts in which we work.
