Git is a version control system that enables collaboration and code tracking. An important aspect is the use of branches to work on features and fixes. When working on a branch, two key commands are git merge and git rebase. The difference lies in how the history is handled. Merging preserves the history, while rebasing moves local commits on top of the latest remote changes, creating a linear history. Additionally, options like --no-ff and --squash affect how the commit history appears, with --no-ff keeping individual commits and --squash combining them into one.

Building a modern, fast, and scalable blog is easier than ever with the combination of Strapi and Next.js. Strapi, a headless CMS, allows you to manage your content effortlessly through its API-first approach. It provides flexibility, scalability, and a user-friendly interface for content creators, enabling seamless content management and localization.

On the other hand, Next.js is a powerful React framework that excels in building static and dynamic websites with minimal configuration. By integrating Static Site Generation (SSG) with Edge Caching, Next.js provides exceptional performance by pre-rendering your content and delivering it from the nearest server, making your blog blazing fast. This combination of Strapi's content management capabilities and Next.js's performance optimizations ensures a headless blog setup that's both efficient and easy to scale.

In this post, we'll guide you through setting up a headless blog using Strapi and Next.js, leveraging SSG and Edge Cache for outstanding speed and reliability.
