Narration: This one Git command can wipe a week of work You think your code is safe in Git.
It’s not.
One command destroys everything instantly.
That command is git reset hard.
It nukes uncommitted changes without warning.
Your terminal shows no error.
Your files vanish.
A week of edits.
Gone.
Here’s what happens on your screen.
You type the command.
Press enter.
The cursor blinks.
Your code directory empties.
No recovery dialog.
No confirmation prompt.
Just silence.
The fix is simple.
Use git reset soft instead.
Or commit your work first.
Always.
Your future self will thank you when you’re not staring at an empty text editor at midnight.
