Crime Scene InvestiGITor
summary
Walks through concrete forensic moves: using git rev-list and git cat-file -p to inspect commits, blobs and trees; recovering dropped commits via git reflog and detached-checkout then recreating branches; binary-searching the bad commit with git bisect; rewinding with git reset / git revert / git checkout and explaining git gc and packfiles; rewriting history to remove secrets with git filter-branch (or recommended git-filter-repo) and the need for force-pushing and team coordination.
