I hear people praise git reflog a lot, but when do y’all use this? Most I’ve ever needed is git log --graph for history checking. Maybe if I was in a situation where I knew the code on local branch X was working on Friday, but not anymore on Monday, then I could use git reflog to go back to Friday for that local branch right? Is that the idea?

That’s awesome! I also have a trail with some fallen branches and sticks - been thinking of taking into my own hands ⚒️

Idempotent code/repositories are great - I love making everything as reproducible as possible. Particularly in make where every ‘all’ type command should have a corresponding ‘clean’ command. Many times I’ll see code bases where they skip defining the ‘clean’ command… or worse, have no ‘all’ command to begin with and rely on the developer knowing all the build and environment setup commands…
