The Dreaded Git Reset Hard

It's 4:45 PM on a Friday, and Sarah has been working on a complex authentication feature for the past two weeks. Her git history is a mess of half-implemented ideas and debug commits with messages like "WHY" and "please work." Deciding to clean things up before the weekend, she plans to squash her commits into something presentable. She remembers reading something about git reset --hard being useful for this, and without double-checking the command's actual purpose, she runs it against the remote main branch. In an instant, her terminal refreshes and two weeks of authentication code vanishes into the digital void. The blood drains from her face as she realizes what has happened. Her weekend plans flash before her eyes, replaced by marathon coding sessions fueled by energy drinks and regret. If only she had Xferro, which would have silently committed her work to a recovery branch, allowing her to restore every single line of code with a few clicks, instead of explaining to her project manager on Monday why they need to push back the release date.
