> Or to use the name git gives to that concept, "refs." Thus reflog :)

A command name that I read as re-flog for the longest time :D. I really wondered about the strange, strange name for quite a while before I bothered to look up what it does and found out that I should read it as ref-log and that it is, indeed, a very useful thing.



The humans will be flogged and reflogged until they understand the distributed version control


I had the same experience for the longest time until one day I'd have to "re-flog" my local git because I reset some commits that I shouldn't have. Turns out that flogging isn't a real thing in git let alone re-flogging the commits again.
