6 Underused Git Commands That Save Time

Git is full of underused powers that most developers never discover. In this GitKon 2025 session, GitKraken Senior Product Manager Jonathan Silva reveals 6 lesser-known Git commands that solve real workflow pain points, from recovering lost commits to managing stashes strategically.

Learn how to undo commits without losing work, recover deleted branches with git reflog, cherry-pick without immediate commits, target specific stashes, see contributor breakdowns, and more. Jonathan also demonstrates how GitKraken Desktop makes these workflows visual and intuitive.

Perfect for developers who want to level up their Git skills beyond basic commit/push/pull.
