Get the Git Commit ID via Command Line
I know just enough git to be dangerous. I'm not doing advanced bisecting but I can stash, rebase, and reset with the best of them. One new trick I learned from my boss, Luke Crouch, saves me loads of time: getting the commit ID via command line. For years I would merge a PR, go the project's main page, and copy the commit ID so that I could push code to staging and production.
