Advanced Git Magic
summary
Covers concrete workflows: enforce atomic commits, use interactive rebase (git rebase -i HEAD~N, stash, edit, git rebase --continue) to reshape history; time travel with checkout HEAD~5 and handle a detached HEAD by creating a branch; recover dropped commits via git reflog and git reset --hard <ref>; run automated root-cause searches with git bisect (git bisect start/good/bad and git bisect run <script>), feeding a file-existence or unit test script; demoed on a tiny trogdor CLI, found the bad commit, fixed it, and squashed fix+regression into one commit.
