How I Use Git (thorstenball.com)
Recently I tried to explain to a colleague my mental model for when to put something in the same pull request and when not to. I caught myself saying “well, except…” a few times, I decided to write down how I use git — to examine my idiosyncracies, see where I could improve, and possibly share something useful.

The Many SHAs of a GitHub Pull Request (kenmuse.com)
Many people don’t realize it, but pull requests actually have multiple “identities” when an Action workflow runs. There are actually multiple SHAs that represent different parts of the lifecycle during a continuous integration build. This can be confusing for teams that are trying to implement advanced processes, and it often lead to mistakes. In some cases, it leads to a misunderstanding – thinking that the build is testing the branch itself instead of a simulated merge to the target branch.
