I was scared of reflog too. Had to use it for the first time recently after I accidentally’d a branch that I hadn’t pushed to remote yet. I was so glad that I could recover it all in <5 commands.
Title text: If that doesn’t fix it, git.txt contains the phone number of a friend of mine who understands git. Just wait through a few minutes of ‘It’s really pretty simple, just think of branches as…’ and eventually you’ll learn the commands that will fix everything.
I don’t understand git anyway
Well, you learn four commands and hope for the best.
fetch, reset --hard, checkout -b and cherry-pick?
:-D
Nah,
rebase -i,squash,fsckandreflogMust be an interesting work if you never
add,commitorpush.Pshaw, real programmers write out the contents of
.gitby hand.(Also, it was a joke, the last two commands I listed are ones you’ll ideally never need in your life)

reflog saved my life once after a stupid misshap.
All rebase are belong to us (onto, rebase, and ofc interactive) but what’s fsck (I don’t squash personally)?
Fsck is File System Check - realistically you should never need to use it.
More like clone, pull, commit, and push --force
>:-D
push origin head

git pull
git add *
git commit -m “Some stuff”
git push
And occasionally when you mess up
git reflog
git reset HEAD@{n} (where n is where you wanna roll back to)
And occasionally if you mess up so hard you give up
And there you go. You are now a master at using git. Try not to mess up.
