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.

Goddamit… It’s ref log, not re flog. I thought this was related to blame and never touched it lmao
I guess “git sanasaryan-han-torture” was an overkill sometimes…
Re flog is when your devs don’t follow your guides and mess uo git history again.
I legit thought it was to publicly call out a user to be (metaphorically) flogged
And while it’s not how I do things, I totally understand the impulse. Tell me that doesn’t sound like something that could exist
