Git Command Builder

Build the exact git command for fifteen common tasks, with explanations and safety notes.

Git commands for common tasks are easy to half-remember and dangerous to guess. This builder produces the exact command for fifteen frequent jobs — undoing commits, renaming branches, squashing history, bisecting for a bug — with an explanation of what it does and an explicit warning wherever the operation destroys work or rewrites shared history.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between reset and revert?

Reset moves the branch pointer backwards and rewrites history, which is unsafe once pushed. Revert adds a new commit that undoes an old one, leaving history intact — that is the correct choice for anything already shared.

I ran reset --hard and lost work. Is it gone?

Committed work almost certainly is not. git reflog records every position HEAD has held for around 90 days; find the SHA there and reset back to it. Work that was never committed is genuinely gone.
