+# Some useful notes:
+
+# Better Commit messages:
+#   Key to Effective Debugging
+#   For the commit message to help in debugging effectively, ensure that it is short and use an imperative 
+#   mood (spoken or written as if giving a command or instruction) when constructing them.
+#   Also use feature tense for commit messages.
+#   The first word in your commit message should be one of these:
+#   Add
+#   Create
+#   Refactor
+#   Fix
+#   Release
+#   Document
+#   Modify
+#   Update
+#   Remove
+#   Delete etc...
+
+# About resetting:
+#   Use git revert instead of git reset in shared repositories
+#   git revert creates a new commit that introduces the opposite changes from the specified commit.
+#   Revert does not change history the original commit stays in the repository
+
+
+# Difference between ~ and ^ in git:
+#   > ^ or ^n
+#       >no args: == ^1: the first parent commit
+#       >n: the nth parent commit
+
+#   > ~ or ~n
+#       >no args: == ~1: the first commit back, following 1st parent
+#       >n: number of commits back, following only 1st parent
+#   note: ^ and ~ can be combined
