I’ve been piling up flash cards for common use cases with git. I have them packed into my iPhone with the Anki program, and when I have some downtime (I.e. I’m waiting on someone or something) I flip through them. Actually, git is just one of my many decks on there.
I’ve found this really helpful personally, and in fact, I’ll probably release this deck to the public sometime soon. I’m always on the lookout when I’m learning things for little nuggets of syntax that would best be tucked away for rote memorization to make my life easier.
Enough of my meandering, the point I’m getting at is, if I find some common-use things that I hadn’t found in other tutorials that would make good flash cards I’ll note that as high value material to share with others. This is one of those examples. I found quite a few little “nuggets of syntax” here that I should have rote.
So without further ado…
