External enrichment​

  • Git Documentation: git-reflog (official_docs_companion) - Useful when the learner needs to recover state safely and should rely on exact command behavior.
  • Git Documentation: git-reset (official_docs_companion) - Important when recovering work, because vague summaries are less useful than the real command semantics.
