Yep, this. Exactly like the docs say, you could recover entire directories after an accidental reset, or just avoid having to ctrl+z in your file 40 times. I've been fortunate to "only" lose about 2-3 hours of work to mis-typing in git in the last year. It could have been 2 days or so if I was unlucky. For 2-3 hours of work it's maybe not worth installing this tool, but I'm definitely thinking about it because it's so much better than potentially losing 2 days. "Commit often" doesn't work for me a lot of the time, I'd spend up spending almost as much time rebasing and patch committing as I would in dev/refactor. When you're exploring you try 5 things for every one that works, and it's not apparent til later which thing you want to keep. Committing junk every 10 minutes and then committing a rollback for most of it isn't ideal.
