Git: Undoing Things and recovering from Mistakes
summary
Covers concrete recovery recipes: use git checkout to discard file edits or restore deleted files, git reset --hard to wipe uncommitted work, git commit --amend to fix the last commit (only if not pushed), and git revert to create a correcting commit without rewriting history. Shows git reflog to recover resets, git cherry-pick to move a commit to another branch, git branch -vv / git log flags to see what will be pushed, and explains Git LFS pointers plus a quick demo with the Tower GUI.
