- cryptonector 4y ago`git reset` is analogous to filesystem restore from backup. Next question. Note that the analogy to filesystems is not exact. The point is that you can understand higher-level operations in terms of lower level ones / gain insight into higher level operations from knowledge of the lower level concepts. As opposed to the cognitive burden of incomprehensible magic, where every time you get in trouble you've no idea what to do.
