💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --branches does not show deleted branches.

Using --deleted is not a valid git reflog option.

The git reflog --all command shows the history of all references, including deleted branches.

2fill in blank

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using -d deletes a branch instead of creating one.

Using -m renames a branch, not creates.

To recover a deleted branch, you create a new branch with a name pointing to the commit hash.

3fill in blank

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'commit' tries to create a commit, not switch branches.

Using 'branch' lists or creates branches but does not switch.

To switch to a branch, use git checkout <branch-name>.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create and switch to a new branch from a commit hash.

Git

git [1] -b [2] <commit-hash>

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Acheckout

Bbranch

Cnew-branch

Dreset

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'branch' with -b is invalid.

Using 'reset' does not create a branch.

The command git checkout -b new-branch <commit-hash> creates and switches to a new branch at the given commit.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to recover a deleted branch by finding the commit hash, creating the branch, and switching to it.

Git

git reflog [1] && git branch [2] [3] && git checkout [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A--all

B<branch-name>

C<commit-hash>

D--deleted

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --deleted is not a valid reflog option.

Mixing up branch name and commit hash positions.

First, git reflog --all shows all commits. Then, git branch <branch-name> <commit-hash> creates the branch. Finally, git checkout <branch-name> switches to it.
