Although many of these tips might seem trivial and obvious, I've often seem developer who self-identified as 'senior' not follow these practices.

Git and Github are communication channels and you should think about effectively communicating with your audience when you are using them. Very much in the same way that you are when you are writing emails.

The other interesting point about Git is that, very often, you are your own audience when you're revisiting the history of particular months after you've written the original code. You should definitely start thinking about your workflow a little more.
