What happens if I accidentally delete a branch or perform a hard reset?

This skill guides you through using the git-reflog to locate the commit hashes of deleted work, providing a 90-day safety net for data recovery.

Is it safe to use these commands on shared repositories?

The skill emphasizes safety-first practices, such as using --force-with-lease and creating backup branches, to ensure that history rewriting doesn't disrupt your team.

How does this skill help with messy commit histories?

It provides structured patterns for interactive rebasing, allowing you to squash, reword, or drop commits to create a clean, logical history before merging into your main branch.

Can I use this to find out which commit broke my code?

Yes, the skill includes detailed workflows for git-bisect, including how to use automated scripts to rapidly identify the exact commit that introduced a bug.
