Git Good with Advanced Git

" summary

Shows Git internals and exact CLI plumbing used to manipulate them: creating blobs and trees with hash-object and storing objects in the .git/objects layout (first two hash chars as folder), inspecting with cat-file, and building commits with commit-tree. Demonstrates practical workflows: git stash vs branch, stash push/apply/pop and naming; using reflog and `git reset` to rewind local history; and live interactive rebase examples that squash, reorder and drop commits. Emphasizes SHA-1 hashes, local-only rewrites before push, and working demos that all execute successfully.
