Recommended Practice Sequence

1. Use git status to understand the current state.
2. Use git add and git commit to complete one local commit.
3. Use git switch -c to create a task branch.
4. Use git diff to check changes before committing.
5. Use git push to push the branch and create a PR.
6. Use git restore to undo local changes.

Don’t Rush to Use High-Risk Commands

Use with caution during the novice stage:

git reset --hard
git push --force
git clean -fd

These commands may directly discard local changes or rewrite remote history.

If you just want to undo ordinary workspace changes, prioritize learning Undo Anything.
