If you've ever royally fucked something up in git, that hotline is necessary
Never understood why this is such a trope. There's very little you can't recover in git (basically, only changes you never committed in the first place).
Have you ever tried a rebase?
Not sure if serious or not, but yeah I use interactive rebases every day, many times a day (it's nice for keeping a clean, logical history of atomic changes).
It's very simple to recover if you accidentally do something you don't intend (
git rebase --abortif the rebase is still active,git reflogto find the commit before the rebase if it's finished).
