In this detailed episode, we break down Git Reflog — the most underrated Git command for disaster recovery.

  • Thought your work was gone forever

This episode explains how Git Reflog works behind the scenes and how it helps you recover lost or unreachable commits safely.

We cover:
• What Git Reflog actually tracks
• How it differs from git log
• Step-by-step recovery examples
• Why commits seem to “disappear”
• How long reflog keeps your history
• When recovery is still possible — and when it’s not

Perfect for developers and designers working with Git who want confidence when things go wrong.
