Oh Shit, Git!?!

Git is hard: screwing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is fucking impossible. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can't search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about in order to fix your problem.

- I did something terribly wrong, please tell me git has a magic time machine!?!
- I committed and immediately realized I need to make one small change!
- I need to change the message on my last commit!
- I accidentally committed something to master that should have been on a brand new branch!
- I accidentally committed to the wrong branch!
- I tried to run a diff but nothing happened?!
- I need to undo a commit from like 5 commits ago!
- I need to undo my changes to a file!
- I give up
