Core Features & Use Cases

  • 7 diagnostic checks across root and submodules (locks, detached HEAD, pointer drift, unmerged branches, dirty state, branch state, and remote sync) to identify issues and propose fixes.
  • Safe auto-repair workflow with non-destructive options reported for manual action when needed.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose and repair a corrupted git workspace with detached heads and submodule pointer drift?

To diagnose and repair a corrupted git workspace, run a systematic diagnostic workflow that checks git locks, detached heads, and submodule pointer drift, then applies safe, non-destructive auto-repairs or reports issues for manual action.

What is the best way to fix git locks and unmerged branches in a multi-submodule monorepo?

The best way to fix git locks and unmerged branches in a multi-submodule monorepo is using a diagnostic tool that performs seven systematic checks across root and submodules, proposing safe auto-repairs or detailed manual action reports.

Can I automatically recover a dirty git submodule state without losing uncommitted changes?

Yes, you can recover a dirty git submodule state without losing changes by using a safe auto-repair workflow that prioritizes non-destructive options and generates detailed issue reports for any manual action needed.

Does git workspace diagnostics support branch misalignment and remote sync checks across all submodules?

Git workspace diagnostics supports branch misalignment and remote sync checks across all submodules by applying seven systematic checks to both the root repository and nested submodule states.

When should I manually resolve workspace corruption instead of using automated git recovery?

You should manually resolve workspace corruption when the automated diagnostic tool detects complex unmerged branches or remote sync conflicts, reporting detailed issues that require manual action rather than safe non-destructive auto-repairs.
