Undo, recovery, and reflog

What you will build

Choose recovery based on whether work is committed or shared.

Understand the idea first

Choose recovery based on whether work is committed or shared.

Build it step by step

git restore path/to/file
git restore --staged path/to/file
git revert <shared-commit>
git reflog

1. Open the previous project and record its result.
2. Type the example and complete: Restore an unstaged file, unstage one, and revert a shared commit.
3. Change one input, predict, then verify.
4. Create and repair: Do not hard-reset or force-push shared history casually.

Read the important lines

• Choose recovery based on whether work is committed or shared.
• Read input, processing, and output separately.
• Verify another input and an edge case.

Common mistakes and what to check

Practice without copying

Restore an unstaged file, unstage one, and revert a shared commit.

Completion check

• I produced the required visible result
• I can explain the input, processing, and output
• I tested normal, edge, and failure cases
