A 1000x this. I'm unfortunately that guy. I've learned never to use rebase and to copy and paste important code to a separate text editor (or use my IDE's separate undo cache) before trying a complex merge, and then just trying all over again if I fuck up.

That's easier than trying to get git working right, lol. It feels like every git command is a PhD rabbit hole. All I know is that if I screw something in git, trying to fix it will just screw it up worse. Reset early and often and it usually works in the end. Lol, it's terrible...
