I think irreversible or very critical operations in git should have a prompt that explains what the user is about to do, the implications, and a confirmation if they would like to continue or not.

I recently did 'git reset --hard' because I was having problems pushing my work to Github. Comrades, that's how I lost my hard-written technical articles. Articles that took days and nights. I can't cry because the tears aren't even coming.

I have tried using recovery softwares to get back the files but I can't afford those for now. My advice so you don't end up like me? NEVER USE A GIT COMMAND YOU DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT DOES.

I hate commands, I'd rather use GUI
That's why I don't use git, I just drag and drop my project/files in the GitHub website

Ooops sorry about that.

Always run your git status, before you use any reset command.

Thanks. Just unfortunate I learned this the hard way.

Oh lawd.

If you are concerned about security, commands are always the best to use.

Sorry but how did you not back up your written article?

Who uses reset —hard on git without knowing the implications?

If you have problem pushing to git, you check the error you’re getting before checking your status then check your remote origin, etc.

personally, you don’t have to learn them in any particlular order.
First things first, install git and get a git-GitHub training guide (YouTube, udemy etc).
