TortoiseGit's Amend last commit checkbox lets you fold a forgotten change into the previous local commit before pushing. It rewrites HEAD, so it is safe only for unshared history.
Commit a subset of modified files in TortoiseGit while leaving others uncommitted in the working tree.
Fix a forgotten file or message in your most recent local commit using TortoiseGit's amend option, but only before pushing to a shared branch.
Squash, reorder, or drop work-in-progress commits before pushing, then verify the rewritten history and recover with git reflog if needed.
TortoiseGit 4.0+ includes built-in Git LFS commands that route large binaries through a separate cache. Learn how the GUI handles tracking, commits, and the trade-offs you need to watch.
Learn how to enable TortoiseGit’s internal merge tool, run an interactive rebase, and resolve conflicts with a side‑by‑side visual editor to keep your feature branch history clean and error‑free.
Use TortoiseGit's Explorer context menu and TortoiseGitMerge to stage, resolve conflicts, and commit without opening a terminal.
Stop cluttering your Git history with 'WIP' commits. Learn how to use TortoiseGit's Stash feature to safely park uncommitted changes and switch branches instantly.
TortoiseGit maps submodule actions to Git commands, but the parent repository records only a commit SHA. Learn the correct Add/Update workflow, how to stage pointer changes, and why recursive updates can stall.
