GENERATORS

Git Command Builder

Pick a task — undo a commit, rename a branch, squash, cherry-pick, recover a deleted branch, clean up, rebase — and get the exact git command with your branch, file or commit filled in, a plain-English note, a danger flag for destructive ones, and a flag-by-flag explanation.

What this tool does

Choose a task from the list and it shows the exact git command (or sequence of commands) to run, with your branch name, file path or commit hash substituted in. Each task has a short note explaining what it does, and destructive tasks are flagged.

The explanation panel

Every token in the generated command is annotated — what the subcommand does and what each flag changes — so you understand the command before you paste it.

Destructive commands

Commands that permanently discard work (reset --hard, clean -fd, push --force) are marked with a warning. Most "lost" work is actually recoverable from the reflog for about 90 days — there is a task for that too.

Privacy

Nothing runs and nothing is uploaded. The tool only assembles text.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does this run git commands?

No. It only builds the command text for you to copy and run yourself in a terminal.

Which commands are marked dangerous?

Anything that can permanently lose uncommitted or unpushed work — reset --hard, checkout -- ., clean -fd, branch -D, push --force, and interactive rebases.

I ran a dangerous command — can I get my work back?

Often yes. Commits (even "lost" ones) stay in the reflog for ~90 days. Use the "Recover a deleted branch or lost commit" task. Uncommitted changes that were never staged are usually gone.

Why force-with-lease instead of force?

force-with-lease refuses the push if someone else has pushed to the branch since you last fetched, so you cannot silently overwrite a teammate. Plain --force has no such check.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The tool is entirely client-side.
