Yep. Incredibly powerful, and it will not hesitate to help you blow your own legs off.

The big difference is that git will save your legs in reflog for a couple of weeks.

Learning about reflog was a game changer. Now I’m never afraid of breaking my branch. If I mess up, I can always git reset —hard to a previous state.

Another game changer was learning that a perfectly valid way of doing squash is to do git reset to an earlier commit and then do git commit -a. Saves a lot of rebasing headache.
