Hi, Sometimes, I messed-up with git repository and lost works due carelessness. This includes reset a branch instead of other, drop the stash etc by mistake. I wonder, is there way to a get an interactive confirmation prompt (which ask for yes/no option) before executing those commands when users can possibly lose their work? Like, some UNIX commands have support for an interactive prompt (like 'rm -i', 'mv -i', 'cp -i', etc) for ex: before deleting and overwriting a file a confirmation is prompt and asking for users permission. If there would no such feature available in git, so how do other people avoid these kind of mistakes? Obviously, one them would be recheck the command carefully before executing it and repo status but, I think sometimes people also do these kind of mistakes. For now, to minimize some of these kind problems I've modified my bash shell prompt to show all kind information related to a git repository by sourcing "git-prompt" script (provided with git package) and turn on all of flags provided by it which significantly increase my productivity and less mistakes than earlier. But, anything else I can do to avoid these kind of mistakes at first place or increase my productivity (it includes adopting some best practices, using some command line tools etc). I searched it on the Internet and found that there are many GUI tools available which help with these problems but don't want to use GUI tools because most of time I work in command line environment and love using command line tool than GUI one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. PS: Sometimes, I would recover my work by seeking some help mostly on #git IRC but, it would be better avoid this kind of mess at first place. Cheers, Vipul
