Well, you learn four commands and hope for the best.

fetch, reset --hard, checkout -b and cherry-pick?

:-D

Nah, rebase -i, squash, fsck and reflog

Must be an interesting work if you never add, commit or push.

Edit: How the hell did you get the repo without clone?

[–] xmunk 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pshaw, real programmers write out the contents of .git by hand.

(Also, it was a joke, the last two commands I listed are ones you'll ideally never need in your life)

I was scared of reflog too. Had to use it for the first time recently after I accidentally'd a branch that I hadn't pushed to remote yet. I was so glad that I could recover it all in <5 commands.

reflog saved my life once after a stupid misshap.

All rebase are belong to us (onto, rebase, and ofc interactive) but what's fsck (I don't squash personally)?

[–] xmunk 4 points 1 year ago

Fsck is File System Check - realistically you should never need to use it.

More like clone, pull, commit, and push --force
