1. Commit early, commit often 📝
2. Write descriptive commit messages 💬
3. Always pull before push ⬇️⬆️
4. Use branches for every feature 🌿
5. Test before you commit ✅
6. Never force push to shared branches 🛡️
7. Use --force-with-lease instead of --force ⚠️
8. When in doubt, git reflog can save you 🚨
