Git is a must-know tool for every developer! The best way to learn Git is by using it daily in your projects. Create a GitHub profile and contribute to open-source projects. Understanding branching strategies and merge vs rebase is crucial. Also practice resolving merge conflicts as interviewers love to test this. Having an active GitHub profile itself is a plus point during interviews!
