Git Hooks, Stashing, and Advanced Recovery Techniques — Forge College

Want fewer merge surprises and faster local feedback when working on Solana projects? Learn how Git hooks, stashing, and recovery tools (reflog, bisect) keep your workflow safe and debuggable before changes reach CI.

What you'll learn: This lesson shows how to add local automation with pre-commit and pre-push hooks, and how to manage ephemeral work with git stash commands (stash, stash list, stash apply, stash pop, stash branch). You'll practice recovering lost or dangling commits with git reflog and git reset, and reproduce and locate regressions using git bisect (bisect start, bisect bad, bisect good). You'll also apply corrective strategies using git cherry-pick and git revert and produce a short debugging report documenting a bisect-driven fix and a reflog recovery. Examples include where hooks live (the .git/hooks directory), writing a simple pre-commit script that blocks commits on failing checks, and stashing workflows for safe rebases and context switches.

Who this is for: Beginner developers comfortable with basic Git commands (commit, branch, checkout) who want safer local workflows and stronger recovery skills for multi-developer Solana codebases.

Key topics covered:
- Creating and installing a pre-commit hook to enforce local checks and block bad commits
- Pre-push hooks and when to use local vs. remote gating
- Stashing workflows: git stash, git stash list, git stash apply, git stash pop, git stash branch
- Recovering lost commits with git reflog and git reset, reattaching dangling work
- Reproducing regressions with git bisect and fixing them via git cherry-pick or git revert
- Building a short debugging report that documents bisect steps, reflog recovery, and the final fix
