I seem to be on a quest to nuke my work unintentionally. Some time ago, I did it by running "git checkout" when I intended to run "git checkout -".

In this episode, I'll introduce you to "git switch" and "git restore" -- two commands, which means that, in most cases, you do not need "git checkout" anymore.
