Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on what you want to keep. git reset --soft HEAD~1 undoes the commit but keeps your changes staged; git reset --hard HEAD~1 discards the changes entirely. The Undo category lists both with explanations of exactly what each preserves.

Any command that rewrites history or discards work — hard resets, force pushes, clean, and some rebase operations. The tool marks these with warnings; over half its catalog includes a note about what a command can destroy.

No. It's a reference that generates command text for you to copy — nothing executes until you paste it into your own terminal, so browsing is completely safe.

Merge combines branches with a merge commit, preserving history exactly as it happened. Rebase replays your commits on top of another branch for a linear history — cleaner to read, but it rewrites commits, so avoid rebasing branches others are using.
