Git Advanced Workflows FAQs

Question 1

Is it safe to use interactive rebase on public branches?

Accepted Answer

No, you should generally only rebase local commits that haven't been pushed or shared yet, as rebasing rewrites history and can cause major synchronization issues for your collaborators.

Question 2

How can I recover a commit I accidentally deleted?

Accepted Answer

You can use the Git Reflog feature within this skill to view a history of all branch head movements, find the hash of the lost commit, and restore it to a new branch.

Question 3

What is the benefit of using Git Worktrees?

Accepted Answer

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches of the same repository checked out in different directories simultaneously, letting you handle urgent bug fixes without stashing or interrupting your current feature work.

Question 4

Can Claude automate the bug-finding process?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this skill provides the workflow for 'git bisect run', which uses a test script to automatically walk through your history and identify the specific commit where a test first started failing.

Question 5

Why should I use --force-with-lease instead of --force?

Accepted Answer

--force-with-lease is a safety mechanism that only allows a force push if no one else has updated the remote branch since your last fetch, preventing you from accidentally overwriting a teammate's work.
