gpd-undo

To safely revert a GPD git commit, you can use a guided undo workflow that creates a safety checkpoint first. This process verifies the commit is not a merge, presents a diff for review, and updates STATE.md to keep your project synchronized.

A safety checkpoint in git version control is a reversible save state created before modifying project history. You need one when reverting commits to ensure you can restore the exact project state if the undo operation causes unexpected issues.

No, you cannot undo a git commit through this workflow if it is a merge commit. The process explicitly checks for and blocks non-merge commits, preventing risky operations that could destabilize your version control history.

To preview the impact of reverting a git commit, the undo workflow presents a diff of the proposed changes. It requires your explicit confirmation before performing the clean revert, ensuring you understand the exact modifications.

Yes, reverting a GPD commit automatically updates your research project state when affected. The workflow specifically modifies STATE.md during the clean revert process to keep your research state synchronized with the version control changes.

The best way to reverse a git revert is to use the safety checkpoint created at the start of the workflow. This checkpoint ensures complete reversibility, allowing you to restore the project to its exact state before the undo was applied.
