Using rebase and reflog really taught me a lot about git, because it "rewrites" history and exposes you to some nuance. Like: basically nothing in git is ever gone if it was at one point committed to the repository, that includes branches you delete and never pushed, it also includes commits that are removed with git reset --hard. Once I learned about how to find references, refer to them, and manipulate them, everything else made a lot more sense.
