Handling Git mistakes is a crucial skill for any developer. Recently, I found myself in a situation where a simple feature branch turned into a mess—too many commits, merge conflicts, and unclear history. Instead of starting over, I took the time to properly fix it.
Here’s what helped:
✔️ git reset — Undo unnecessary commits
✔️ git cherry-pick — Apply specific changes cleanly
✔️ git reflog — Recover lost commits
✔️ git stash — Save work without committing
Learning to manage Git efficiently makes PRs easier to review and keeps repositories clean.
