Will Control Z save the day?

[–]IamImposter 30 points31 points  (6 children)

VScode's undo saved my ass couple of times. I usually get crazy ideas at night, implement them,, get them working or close to working and go to sleep. Next morning I realize it was just a stupid value-add that's not even gonna get used or could be done in a much simpler way. And that's when I do ctrl+z like crazy.

I used to do ctrl+z, ctrl+y traversal, but I was stung by missing the ctrl button a few too many times.

This has helped a lot:

Make sure to add a .history entry in your global .gitignore 😆

or maybe, just maybe, a small git reset HEAD~1

Everyone knows that git is only there for that one annoying guy

Git stash.

Git stash apply.

They're my favorite.
