The Accidental File Discard

Miguel has been perfecting an algorithm for three hours straight, tweaking variables and optimizing loops in a single file. He's been making steady progress, and the code is finally starting to perform at acceptable speeds. During a quick review with his senior developer, they decide to try a completely different approach. Miguel, eager to start fresh, instinctively right-clicks the file in his git client and selects "Discard Changes." It's only after he's stared at the empty file for a full thirty seconds that the horror of what he's done sinks in. Three hours of meticulous optimization, gone in a single click. He frantically searches through his local history and temp files, but finds nothing. He even checks the recycle bin, despite knowing git changes don't end up there. As panic sets in, Miguel realizes he's going to have to recreate everything from memory, likely missing crucial details he discovered during his optimization journey. With Xferro, this nightmare scenario would never happen—every iteration of his algorithm would be safely preserved in a dedicated branch, allowing him to retrieve any version with complete confidence, even after an accidental discard.
