I dearly needed to hear that

git reflog! It gives the history of commits that your HEAD has previously pointed at.

If a rebase goes bad, you can fish out your old HEAD and recover your pre-rebase state.

When I have zero faith in myself I'm not above copying the whole committed file and pasting it.in a dm to myself in slack.

Sometimes you're in a rush and it's good to look after yourself lol.

Also reflog, but the void is calling for code.
