Refined Guide

Build 2.1.2 • Nordic Cold

Volume 01 / Phase 03

Diagnostics

Forensic repository analysis, manipulation strategies, and recovery protocols.

07. Advanced Techniques

Interactive Rebase

$ git rebase --interactive HEAD~5

Surgically rewrite, reorder, or expunge commits from the record.

Cherry-picking

$ git cherry-pick [hash]

Selectively apply discrete commits across lineages.

08. The Reflog

A low-level log recording every HEAD transition. Your ultimate recovery failsafe.

$ git reflog
e4a5521 HEAD@{0}: checklist: forensic audit
d3f11bc HEAD@{1}: commit: nordic release

09. Bisecting

Implementation of binary search to isolate the precise introduction of regressions.

$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad [commit]
$ git bisect good [commit]
