I love git grep: $ git grep foo It's often faster than running regular grep and does nice things like not inspecting ignored files. I also find myself using git shortlog when preparing releases. e.g.: $ git shortlog v1.6.2.. ...and it shows me a nice summary of changes since the "v1.6.2" tag. "git diff --color-words" and "git difftool" are pretty awesome too. I wouldn't consider these advanced but they are lesser-known.
