The progression

Every deck is graded 1 to 6: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.

1. Level 18 moves

   Check what's changed and staged in the working tree

   git status

   the look-before-you-leap command; pros run it constantly

   …and 7 more at this level

2. Level 211 moves

   Create a new branch and switch to it

   git switch -c <name>

   branch-per-change is the default workflow; this starts one

   …and 10 more at this level

3. Level 316 moves

   List local branches

   git branch

   the which-branch-am-I check; run it before anything branchy

   …and 15 more at this level

4. Level 417 moves

   Delete a branch that's fully merged

   git branch -d <name>

   merged branches pile up; -d only deletes what’s safely merged

   …and 16 more at this level

5. Level 524 moves

   Force-push a rebased branch without clobbering teammates

   git push --force-with-lease

   refuses the push if someone else added commits, unlike the reckless plain --force

   …and 23 more at this level

6. Level 62 moves

   Move the cursor back one word

   Alt+B

   hopping by words lands on the flag or path you need far faster than arrows

   …and 1 more at this level
