Comment thread
uekerman marked this conversation as resolved.

- If you rebased/merged and messed up your history, use `git reflog` to go back to a previous state
- If you only need one file from another commit or branch, use `git checkout <branch_or_sha> -- <path>`
- Use [Git LFS](https://git-lfs.com/) for big files >10 MB or for non-diffable binaries (e.g., images, media, archives, shared libraries).
