What is Git Bisect used for?

Git Bisect performs a binary search through your commit history to quickly identify the specific commit that introduced a bug or regression.

Can I use this to recover deleted branches or commits?

Yes, the skill includes detailed instructions on using Git Reflog to identify and restore work that appears to be lost or accidentally deleted.

How does this skill help with messy commit history?

It provides step-by-step guidance for interactive rebasing, allowing you to squash, reword, and reorder commits into a clean, professional history before merging.

Is it safe to use rebase on public branches?

The skill emphasizes best practices, specifically warning against rebasing public branches to avoid disrupting the workflows of other collaborators.

How does the Worktree feature benefit my workflow?

Git Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories, eliminating the need to stash changes when switching to an urgent task.
