    Think of it like your browser history but for Git. It’s a list of the SHAs related to your recent operations.

    And because Git is a content-addressable data store, a SHA is basically like a URL. Even if a branch no longer exists, if you know the SHA it pointed to then you can still check out the exact contents of that branch. The reflog helps you find that.
