Git Reflog shows you a lot about what's going on in your Git repositories, and let's you clean them up better than other commands can. For this reason, and because I have been known to accidentally include things in commits that I need to purge, I'm coming to love this command.
So, in this episode I'm going to give you a good introduction to the command, and step you through how I completely removed a commit from a repository I was working on recently, so that no one could ever recover an image that I'd committed with an unredacted credential.
