How One Engineer Repaired a Corrupt Git Repository Without Losing History

When a junior developer force-pushed over a shared branch and corrupted the entire git history, most teams would panic. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down how one engineer rescued a 14-month-old codebase using git reflog, filter-repo, and careful cherry-picking. They walk through the specific commands, the decision tree for when to rewrite history versus when to accept it, and the single backup practice that saved the team from losing 900 commits. If you've ever wondered what to do when git itself seems broken, this is the episode for you. #Git #VersionControl #GitReflog #GitFilterRepo #CodeRecovery #EngineeringBestPractices #DevOps #SourceControl #SoftwareEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CodeRescue #HistoryRewrite #CherryPick #ForcePush #Debugging #DeveloperTools Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
