Description
Benjamin Kadel, Principal Platform Engineer for Android at Babel, explores Git's internal workings and advanced commands through a "Crime Scene Investigator" theme. The talk covers Git objects, the command line interface, and techniques for time-traveling through repository history to solve problems like broken unit tests. It delves into commands like `git checkout`, `git revert`, `git reset`, `git reflog`, `git bisect`, and `git filter-branch` for debugging and history manipulation.
