To recover a lost commit in Git, you use the reflog to find the hash of the detached HEAD and reset your branch back to that state. This Skill provides reference guides for navigating history rewriting and undoing destructive actions safely.

The safest way to undo a mistaken commit on a shared branch is using git revert instead of a destructive reset. This Skill outlines recovery workflows and best practices to avoid rewriting shared history while correcting mistakes.

Resolving conflicts during an interactive rebase involves staging fixed files and continuing the sequence. This Skill provides step-by-step command references for handling complex conflict resolution across multiple branches.

You should use cherry-pick to apply a specific commit from another branch without merging entire histories. This Skill covers advanced operations like cherry-picking across local and collaborative workflows to manage targeted changes.

Git bisect helps find a bug-introducing commit by performing a binary search through your commit history using good and bad markers. This Skill includes deep dives on using bisect and other advanced diagnostic commands.

You can safely clean untracked files using git clean with dry-run flags before execution. This Skill offers reference-driven guidance on stash, clean, and reset operations to manage your working directory confidently.
