About this tool

Git is powerful but unforgiving, and the moments you most need it — an accidental commit, work on the wrong branch, lost changes — are exactly when it is hardest to remember the right command. This explorer is a searchable, scenario-based cheat sheet: describe the situation and it gives you the step-by-step commands to fix it safely, from undoing a commit to recovering a lost branch with the reflog.

Rather than a flat list of commands, it is organised around the problems people actually hit, so you find the fix by what went wrong rather than needing to know the command’s name already. It also flags the safer approach where a destructive command could lose work, which matters when you are stressed and about to run something irreversible.

It runs in your browser as a reference — it does not touch your repository. Use it to get out of a Git emergency, learn a recovery technique, or double-check a command before you run it.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of Git problems does it cover?
Common scenarios like undoing commits, recovering lost branches or commits with the reflog, moving work to the right branch, squashing commits and discarding uncommitted changes.
How do I find the right command?
You search by the situation you are in rather than the command name, and it returns the step-by-step commands to resolve it.
Will it help me avoid losing work?
Yes. It points to safer approaches where a command could be destructive, so you are less likely to lose changes during a recovery.
Does it run commands on my repo?
No. It is a reference that gives you commands to run yourself; it does not access or modify your repository.
