🚨 We Lost Three Weeks of Code with One Git Command — Here’s What Saved Us
A late night.
A force push.
And suddenly, three weeks of hard work on a critical feature branch… GONE!
We weren’t newbies — just tired developers doing late-night cleanup.
It all started with this:
git reset --hard origin/main
git fetch
git push -f
We stared at the terminal in disbelief.
Our feature branch had synced with main
, erasing everything, nothing left in git log
, no open PRs, and no backup.
But we weren’t ready to give up — and one powerful (and underrated) Git command became our savior.
đź’ˇ Instead of panicking, we prompted ChatGPT and got the working solution.
đź§ We turned the whole experience into a story:
A real-life guide, filled with lessons, visuals, and one magical Git command every dev needs in their toolkit.
