Git should store the commands that "did" the operations on a repo. Git should never ever let you lose work. I should always be able to go "backward" and recover previous states. I guess that is what the "Git undo" proposal is about.

I'm a very visual person so I tend to use Git Graph on VSCode. But I still get in trouble. Especially things like Cherry Picking, or reverting.

Another thing that is not so easy is switching branches without having to do a commit. Stashing, yeah, but then figuring out whether stashes have been applied or not, diffing between branches, picking some changes from a diff.

In the end I stick to some basic commands that don't get me in trouble so that I don't lose half a day to recover my work via Dropbox.
