3-8. Working with reflog
Problem
The procedure of saving the log with SHA-1 names, which was necessary in Recipes
3-5 and 3-6, is very cumbersome. If you know how to use reflog this can be avoided.
You will want to create a repository as shown in
Figure 3-9
. Next, you want to restore
the working directory to every commit with the
$ git reset --hard
[REVISION]
command. Instead of copying and pasting SHA-1 names you may
prefer to use reflog.
