FAQPage Schema
How do I restore a WIP commit in git to resume work?▼

To restore a WIP commit, run /context-restore to find the most recent work-in-progress commit on your current branch and perform a mixed reset. This unpacks saved changes back into the working tree so you can resume exactly where you left off.

What happens if I have uncommitted changes when restoring a WIP commit?▼

When uncommitted changes exist in your working tree, the restoration process detects them and warns you. It provides guidance to save those changes before proceeding with the WIP commit restoration to prevent losing your current work.

Does context-restore work across different git branches?▼

Yes, it supports resuming work across branches after a context-save. It implements branch detection to locate the most recent WIP commit on your current branch, ensuring you restore the correct saved context for that specific branch.

How does a mixed reset preserve my changes when restoring a git branch?▼

A mixed reset moves the branch pointer to the WIP commit while keeping all changes in the working tree rather than committing them. This preserves your modifications so you can continue working on them immediately after restoration.

Can I see what was restored after resuming a WIP commit?▼

Yes, after applying the mixed reset the tool displays a concise status output. This status confirms exactly what was restored from the WIP commit, helping you verify the working tree matches your previous context before continuing.

What is the best way to save and resume work-in-progress across git branches?▼

Use a context-save to commit your WIP state, then run /context-restore on the target branch. It detects the latest WIP commit, checks for uncommitted changes, and performs a controlled reset to restore your working tree exactly as you left it.
