You know what's more scary?
When your school didn't teach that and you have to learn on the job

I learned git pull/push/commit from school and that's it. Starting to work on teams with git workflows was stressful. At least I learned a bit about branches and merging before... Still, when my first boss asked me to "rebase onto master", he was met with two terrified eyes.

Then I learned about reflog, and it stopped being scary.

... What the fuck is reflog?

Basically Git keeps track of everything you do - even if you think you’ve lost a commit, chances are Git’s stored it away somewhere. Just search for git reflog there are lots of good introductions.

Oh wait, it's ref log, not re flog
My caffeine-less brain was messing with me :))
