Can this skill recover files I haven't committed yet?

No, this skill relies on the git-branchless system which tracks Git operations and committed states. Uncommitted file changes are not tracked by the undo system.

Does this require git-branchless to be installed?

Yes, this skill is a wrapper for the git-branchless suite and requires the underlying tool to be installed in your environment to manage the undo history.

What is the difference between quick undo and interactive undo?

Quick undo immediately reverts the very last Git operation performed, while interactive undo (-i) allows you to navigate through a timeline of previous states to find a specific point in time.

Is it safe to use on commits I have already pushed to a remote?

You can use it to restore local states, but it will not affect the remote repository. Undoing pushed commits can lead to history divergence, so it is recommended for local workflow corrections.

Developer Tools

Recovers from Git mistakes and restores previous repository states using the powerful git-branchless undo system.

The Git Branchless Undo skill provides a safety net for complex Git operations by leveraging the git-branchless 'smartlog' and undo history. It allows developers to browse past repository states interactively, recover commits lost during messy rebases, and hide experimental work from the commit graph. This skill is essential for developers managing complex feature stacks who need a reliable, visual way to revert to stable states without the complexity of traditional git reflog commands.
