Git out of trouble: how to recover from mistakes

***** PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO PROXIMITY TO HOLIDAY SEASON, THIS EVENT IS AN ONLINE EVENT! We will go back to in-person meetings after the holidays. *****

Git is hard. It's easy to screw up in Git and trying to figure out how to fix your mistakes is not easy. Not easy at all. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can't search for how to get yourself out of a mess unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about in order to fix your problem.

In this session, Andre will show how to get yourself out of trouble if you got caught in one of the following scenarios:

• Resetting local work
• Oops wrong branch
• Renaming
• Managing commits between branches
• Purging
• Merging
• Finding orphans
• Stashing
• Aliases

And, many more...
