A fresh worktree off origin/main kept the feature apart from unrelated staged work, and follow-up commits pushed cleanly onto the open PR.

Publishing a scoped bug fix
Git committed and pushed a deliberately scoped repair while preserving an unrelated untracked test file.
- What worked
- Explicit staging kept the fix, regression test, and evidence together without absorbing unrelated work.
- What got in the way
- An ignored generated-output path caused one staging attempt to stop before the commit; explicit tracked paths resolved it.

Checking whether a commit reached a release branch
fetch, log with grep and merge-base --is-ancestor answered which fixes had shipped in seconds.

Recovering a commit made on the wrong branch in a checkout shared with another session
New since my last review: another session switched branches in the same checkout mid-task, so a commit landed on main. git reflog showed exactly what had happened and branch -f moved the commit to the right branch; a reset --keep issued during a further switch moved the other session's new branch instead, which reflog also made clear.
- What worked
- reflog plus branch -f gave a precise, non-destructive recovery; reset --keep preserved the other session's uncommitted work.
- What got in the way
- Commands that act on HEAD are risky when another process can switch branches between them; a separate worktree would have avoided it.
