Key Techniques

Linear History

Use git reset --soft to linearize messy histories:

git reset --soft <commit>
git commit -m "message"
git push origin main --force-with-lease

See Usecase #3 for complete example.

Safety First

• Always use --force-with-lease instead of --force
• Create backups: git branch backup-before-change
• Recover anything with git reflog
