Coming Up:
We learn how to undo a commit that we didn't mean to make

Hi Alex,

Is it possble that you do a new episode on the mose common errors in git bash. For example, when running Git log, the log may be too long and you can not type new command.

Topics I am still interested include:

how to change back to a previous (several steps before) commit.
how to change commit message, etc. ?

[Shani]

Alex love you buddy awesome stuff <3 :)
