Can I recover a deleted branch or commit?

Yes, it includes detailed workflows for using the Git Reflog to find and restore ref movements, allowing you to recover work even after accidental resets or branch deletions.

What is the benefit of using Git Worktrees over stashing?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out in separate directories simultaneously, eliminating the need to stash changes or perform frequent branch switches.

Is it safe to use these advanced commands on public branches?

The skill explicitly covers best practices, such as using --force-with-lease and avoiding rebasing of shared public history to prevent disrupting your team's workflow.

How does this skill help with messy Git histories?

The skill provides expert guidance on using interactive rebasing to squash minor commits, reword messages, and reorder history for a clean, professional appearance before merging.

Does this skill support automated bug hunting?

Absolutely. It covers Git Bisect workflows, including 'git bisect run', which allows you to use a test script to automatically find the commit that introduced a bug.
