To be honest, as someone who only very tangentially works with git – it fucking scares me.

The idea of having to dig through a reflog is scary too if you don’t have a confident intuition of how the refs work in the first place

It’s simple really. Like saving a computer game and then if something doesn’t work out you can go back to a previous save game.
It only really gets tricky when multiple people are continuing on the same save and you want progress from both when you load it. But you can leave that to the most senior person to figure out.

No no, I was joking that it was simple
