I like using IDEA, PyCharm's and Webstorm's "local history" feature to compensate for gaps in my git knowledge.
A constant, instant backup of all files, independent of the repo, has been my saving grace for small projects.
+ it shows you a diff with the ability to revert individual changes in code
I recently did something like that—I think I did a reset of the repo and lost all of my changes. Was able to piece it back together using local history. Took me another 20 minutes, but at least all of my data was there.
