Routledge's publishing of the ISPS book series started in 2004. The books aim to cover many topics within the spectrum of the psychological therapies of psychosis and their application in a variety of settings. The series is intended to inform and further educate a wide range of mental health professionals as well as those developing and implementing policy.
The ISPS Book series includes books on a wide range of topics, some of which have been translated into different languages including Chinese, Italian, Russian, Spanish and/or Swedish. You can view the book series down below. A brief summary is given on each book and by clicking on their image you will be taken to a site where you can buy this book at a reduced price.

Creativity and Psychotic States in Exceptional People tells the story of the lives of four exceptionally gifted individuals: Vincent van Gogh, Vaslav Nijinsky, Jose Saramago and John Nash. Previously unpublished chapters by Murray Jackson are set in a contextual framework by Jeanne Magagna, revealing the wellspring of creativity in the subjects' emotional experiences and delving into the nature of psychotic states which influence and impede the creative process. Jackson and Magagna aim to illustrate how psychoanalytic thinking can be relevant to people suffering from psychotic states of mind.
In this unique book, Andrew Lotterman describes a creative approach to the psychotherapy of people diagnosed with schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis. Lotterman focuses on specific techniques which can be used in psychological therapy with people who have symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, ideas of reference, looseness of association and pressured speech. Formerly titled Specific Techniques for the Psychotherapy of Schizophrenic Patients, this edition updates research on the biology and psychology of psychosis and explores the many controversial issues surrounding diagnosis.
Psychosis and Emotion offers extensive clinical material and cutting-edge research with a focus on: the diverse theoretical perspectives on the importance of emotion in psychosis – the interpersonal, systemic and organisational context of recovery from psychosis and the implications for emotional distress – the implications of specific perspectives for promoting recovery from psychosis.
The second edition of this book brings together thirty-seven contributors from ten countries and a wide range of scientific disciplines. It provides an evidence-based, optimistic antidote to the pessimism of biological psychiatry. Models of Madness will be essential reading for all involved in mental health, including service users, family members, service managers, policy makers, nurses, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, psychoanalysts, social workers, occupational therapists, art therapists.
Extensive scientific research has been conducted into understanding and learning more about psychotic experiences. However, in existing research the voice of subjective experience is rarely taken into consideration. In this book, first-person accounts are brought centre-stage and examined alongside current research to suggest how personal experience can contribute to professional understanding, and therefore the treatment, of psychosis.
This book offers a new approach to understanding and treating psychotic symptoms using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT for Psychosis shows how this approach clears the way for a shift away from a biological understanding and towards a psychological understanding of psychosis. It brings together international experts from different aspects of this fast developing field and will be of great interest to all mental health professionals working with people suffering from psychotic symptoms.
Beyond Medication focuses on the creation and evolution of the therapeutic relationship as the agent of change in the recovery from psychosis. Organized from the clinician's point of view, this practical guidebook moves directly into the heart of the therapeutic process with a sequence of chapters that outline the progressive steps of engagement necessary to recovery. Both the editors and contributors challenge the established medical model by placing the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the treatment process.
Making Sense of Madness explores the subjective experiences of madness. Using clients' stories and verbatim descriptions, it argues that the experience of 'madness' is an integral part of what it is to be human, and that greater focus on subjective experiences can contribute to professional understandings and ways of helping those who might be troubled by these experiences.
Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Schizophrenic Psychoses brings together professionals from around the world to provide an extensive overview of the treatment of schizophrenia and psychosis. Divided into three parts – past, present and future – this book will provide a varied examination of treatment, and spark much-needed debate about its future.
Throughout the world, access to psychotherapeutic and psychosocial treatments for the psychoses varies significantly, with many people diagnosed with psychotic disorders receiving only medication as treatment.
Psychotherapies for the Psychoses considers ways that this gap can be bridged through theoretical, cultural and clinical integration.
This book offers an insight into the experience of psychiatric in-patient care, from both a professional and a user perspective. The editors highlight the problems in creating therapeutic environments within settings which are often poorly resourced, crisis driven and risk aversive.
Family and Multi-Family Work with Psychosis provides a practical step-by-step guide for professionals treating psychosis using family work. The authors draw on over ten years of experience working with family and multi-family groups where there are members with a psychotic disturbance. They provide helpful guidance on vital issues, including setting up initial group meetings, crisis intervention plans, group structure, problem solving and communication in the group.


This project has been rolled out to include a promotional poster, Calendar for the 2016 screenings and promotional video. The concept was based around and created from running old 32mm film reel through a light box.
The promotional video designed to play on the screens inside and around ACMI. The clip features the films directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, which are screening during the month of February. The video would be used to feature different directors each month in the same style and context as the Michelangelo Antonioni one shown.

For mains we tried the veggie burger which was sweet potato and red pepper patty, piled high with our bruschetta mix of avocado and tomato, topped with melted Emmental cheese.
Always keen to try the newest eateries York has to offer, we decided to give York's new Castlegate restaurant 'Source' a go.
We started with one of the popular planks which, as a nice touch, came balanced on two cans of Italian (of course!) tomatoes.

I was amazed at how engaged my students were in Elia's journeys. No other project ever inspired my students to write as much as when they wrote letters to Elia or responded to his blogs. As a teacher, it was exciting to have an authentic project to follow with my class that incorporated so many levels of learning

This October a team of six African women with albinism are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to demonstrate that they are powerful, capable and inspirational role models to women around the world.
Visit the Expedition Page for Daily Updates
People with albinism often face deep seated, sometimes deadly discrimination, especially in Africa. Often, they do not have the same opportunities for safety, education, health care and a future as others. Superstition and mistaken beliefs about albinism fuel this unequal treatment.
In October of 2018, Jane Waithera and award-winning filmmaker and high-alHtude mountaineer Elia Saikaly will lead a team of six East African women with albinism, and one mother with a child with albinism, represenHng the south, east, west and northern Africa, up Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.
The stories of each parHcipant will be shared in a documentary for broadcast and film fesHvals, shared on social media, in the news prior to and during the actual climb, in virtual reality, through stunning 360 photos and through live broadcasts from the mountain.
"The Climb is a great way to show or remind people that we are here, autonomous and capable. Women with albinism deserve a chance to face and conquer such a challenge." – Nodumo Ncomanzi – Climb for Albinism team member

I am writing for myself and my daughter. I need to talk to her about responsibility. What are the legal issues with children at college?
I'm still waiting for this talk from my parents. They just hoped for the best. Whether a conscious decision or not, parents are legal partners with their children. When there is a problem, mom and dad pay for it. Clearly, we live in a litigious society, with over 80% of the world's lawyers living in the USA. Annually, over 15-million civil lawsuits are filed here. A bit of knowledge about liability for your children is important to discuss.
Litigation involving negligence and vehicles is on the rise and college kids with limited driving experience are prime targets. As a parent, you're not generally liable for the negligent operation of a car by your children. However, you may be implicated if you own it.
If the car is registered in your name, there's a possibility that you'll be liable for car accidents or injury caused by reckless driving. The law varies from state to state. In New York, the owner of the car is at fault, not the driver. Do your research and be aware of where you stand legally, when letting your kids use your car.
Students have a tendency to share cars with friends. This poses several possible risks, such as uninsured or unlicensed drivers. Again, depending on the state laws, any legal action from an accident or worse, is likely to come back to the owner of the vehicle. Ideally, the car or truck should be registered and insured in your child's name.
One guarantee at college is that there will be parties. As a parent, you need to be aware of the risks of accident or even death caused by underage drinking or drugs taken at college parties. You could be held responsible for any tragic outcome on the part of your children. Providing alcohol to those under 21 also puts you or any other family members in the firing line, should something go awry.
There are other problems from running up debt while at college. The Credit Card Act made it tougher for students under 21, with no income, to get credit. This means that the parent must be involved with any credit card application. As co-signer, you have the ability to review your child's spending and adjust the credit limit as necessary.
However, if your kids do go overboard on the credit card spending, you're responsible for the bill. Instill responsibility and help your kids build a good credit rating.

There's an interesting meme – an image of commuters of today flicking through a phone and commuters of 50 years ago with their heads buried in a newspaper.
It seems the point being made is that human being have always isolated them selves in public scenarios.
That using a mobile phone today is no different to reading a newspaper or a book 50 years ago.
However, people never drove their cars trying to read the paper.
Or walked down the street and crossed a road reading a book.
Or went to eat a meal with family or friends and pulled out a novel to get them through the meal instead of the company across the table.
Sure, a mobile phone is a much easier way to access information previously in books and newspapers.


Midsummer is the period of time centered upon the summer solstice, and more specifically the northern European celebrations that accompany the actual solstice. Estonian celebrate the midsummer day on the Eve of 23rd of June. It´s a big party day! Since 1934, June 23 is also national Victory Day of Estonia and both 23rd and 24th are holidays and flag days.
Some of the rituals of Jaanipäev (Jaan´s Day) have very strong folkloric roots. The best-known midsummer ritual is the lighting of the bonfire and jumping over it. It´s also a day for bbq and alcoholic beverages, people gather for big concerts all over the country, enjoy the music and socialize.
How did you celebrate the beginning of the summer? We have waited long enough and now its finally here…..

The share of goods transported by container is growing. Container terminals worldwide are challenged to meet increasing expectations on efficiency in logistics and shorter time for transportation. This means that container vessels have limited slots at dockside for unloading and loading. And the handling of containers on the yard needs to be carefully managed to ensure high throughput with as little resource spend as possible. This puts high requirements on dependability and performance for the equipment used, from the container spreader on the ship-to-shore crane to the Straddle carrier or AGV.
CrossControl provide OEMs and system suppliers in container handling with advanced graphical display for effective HMI and machine controller solutions, increasingly having integrated mobile connectivity features to integrate equipment with Yard Management Systems. Mobile connectivity is also deployed for remote diagnostics to support planning of maintenance and highest possible equipment.

The Education Insight Dashboard (EID) is Delaware's public education state longitudinal data system (SLDS) governed by the Delaware P-20 Council, an intergovernmental committee comprised of state agents, state representatives, and presidents of Delaware's public higher education institutions. The EID, created for the purpose of collecting and analyzing Delaware public education data at the individual, course, institution, and system levels, aggregates data records from the breadth of the Delaware public education systems. The combined data collection systems are part of a nation-wide effort to record granular public education detail over time in order to document the entirety of students' education experience. This information is intended to be available for analysis and public policy consideration for the purpose of producing improvements in student learning at elementary, secondary, post-secondary, and higher education levels, and to optimize labor market outcomes, individually and generally.
Delaware is one of the 47 states having received public funding to create a state longitudinal data system (SLDS). Despite state-to-state differences, each SLDS shares a common purpose of supporting research and analysis with the intent of informing individual, household, and public policy decisions based on standardized criteria.
This review assesses the overall quality of the EID as an SLDS by considering the nature of the organization maintaining the data system, those agencies and institutions providing inputs to the data system, and to which agencies and institutions the data systems' outputs are available. The assessment also considers the data system's funding mechanisms, internal and external researcher data accessibility, the quality of the data system's public user interface (dashboard), and the data system's current Data Quality Campaign (DQC) ranking. This report considers each of these criteria pertaining to EID and provides contact information to the departments and individuals who maintain and manage the SLDS.
The Delaware P-20 Council monitors the DDOE to ensure that data sharing between the state agencies who provide data records to the EID is conducted securely and responsibly. It also ensures that the data records within the EID are collected, stored and analyzed in processes compliant with FERPA, HIPAA, state and other federal laws pertaining to public student information.
The Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) is the state department that manages and maintains the EID. The DDOE completed the first significant phase of the EID construction in 2012. This phase consisted of the development of the Insight Data Warehouse and the Insight Dashboard. The Insight Data Warehouse acts as a data repository for the student data records contained within the EID. The Insight Dashboard is the user interface which state agents utilize to analyze the student data records contained in the Insight Data Warehouse. Since 2012, the DDOE has continued to develop the EID, increasing the amount of sources which the data system receives student data records from and augmenting its analysis capabilities. The DDOE also trains educators and administrators in data literacy and comprehension to ensure that they follow data quality standards when uploading data to the EID and properly interpret the reports generated by the EID.
The EID receives data records from the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) and the public higher education institutions that participate on the Delaware P-20 Council. These state agencies and institutions provide data records through their in-house data systems which were built prior to the creation of the EID. The data records provided by these state agents allows the EID to link secondary and postsecondary education outcomes within the state of Delaware. The reports provided by these linkages enable the state agencies to analyze and evaluate the performance and outcomes of their education programs, initiatives, and services.
External data requests will be sent to the DDOE's External Data Request Committee (EDRC) for review and decision. This committee meets once a month to review data requests. Outside researchers will be notified of the committee's decision within three to five business days. Due to limited resources, the DDOE require up to forty-five days to provide data for approved data requests.
The DDOE provides a public education data records on its website for public use. This information provides useful aggregate level data about various education issues to interest parties within the state of Delaware. These parties include administrators, educators, policy makers, parents, students and other parties interested in education outcomes within the state of Delaware. The quality of these information will be evaluated using several different criteria which include: the user-friendliness of the web-page, the extent of data offered by the web-page, whether the web-page is self-sufficient or relies upon other webpages to provide information, and the extent of customizable reports that can be created using the webpage.
In 2012, the Delaware House of Representatives introducing House Bill 212 which allowed sharing of data between state agencies for required evaluation imposed by state or federal law. It also allowed sharing of data for research questions approved by the Delaware P-20 Council.

Fu la prima donna canadese a raggiungere la vetta nelle classifiche musicali negli Stati Uniti, e la prima a vincere un "Gold record", per la sua canzone Snowbird (1970). Si ritiene che sia stata la capostipite musicale di altre cantanti canadesi come Alanis Morissette, Nelly Furtado, Céline Dion, Sarah McLachlan e Shania Twain.

Fu anche la prima donna e la prima canadese a vincere l'"Album dell'anno" con il premio: Country Music Association Awards per il suo album del 1984 A Little Good News.

Curiosità
Una delle sue canzoni fu utilizzata per Cold Case, telefilm trasmesso in Italia da Rai 2.
Il tredicesimo episodio dell'undicesima stagione de I Griffin è in parte incentrato sulla passione di Stewie e Brian per le canzoni di Anne Murray, in particolare Snowbird, il che li porterà ad intraprendere un viaggio per incontrare di persona la cantante.
Il suo nome viene citato nel film South Park - Il film: più grosso, più lungo & tutto intero (primo film dell'omonima serie animata), più precisamente durante il brano Blame Canada, in cui il Paese veniva incolpato da una folla di genitori di essere la causa delle volgarità e dei continui turpiloqui dei loro figli, tutto ciò per colpa di un film di Trombino e Pompadour; proprio per la sua nazionalità, la cantante viene citata verso la fine del brano da Liane Cartman, che le dà della "stronza".

__Posted by [Lydia Hallie](https://dev.to/lydiahallie/cs-visualized-useful-git-commands-37p1)__

Although Git is a very powerful tool, I think most people would agree when I say it can also be... a total nightmare 😐 I've always found it very useful to visualize in my head what's happening when working with Git: how are the branches interacting when I perform a certain command, and how will it affect the history? Why did my coworker cry when I did a hard reset on `master`, `force push`ed to origin and `rimraf`'d the `.git` folder?

I thought it would be the perfect use case to create some visualized examples of the most common and useful commands! 🥳 Many of the commands I'm covering have optional arguments that you can use in order to change their behavior. In my examples, I'll cover the default behavior of the commands without adding (too many) config options! 😄

## Merging

Having multiple branches is extremely convenient to keep new changes separated from each other, and to make sure you don't accidentally push unapproved or broken changes to production. Once the changes have been approved, we want to get these changes in our production branch!

One way to get the changes from one branch to another is by performing a `git merge`! There are two types of merges Git can perform: a **fast-forward**, or a **no-fast-forward** 🐢

This may not make a lot of sense right now, so let's look at the differences!

A **fast-forward merge** can happen when the current branch has no extra commits compared to the branch we're merging. Git is... *lazy* and will first try to perform the easiest option: the fast-forward! This type of merge doesn't create a new commit, but rather merges the commit(s) on the branch we're merging right in the current branch 🥳

[![](/assets/postAssets/2019/894znjv4oo9agqiz4dql.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/894znjv4oo9agqiz4dql.gif)

Perfect! We now have all the changes that were made on the `dev` branch available on the `master` branch. So, what's the **no-fast-forward** all about?

It's great if your current branch doesn't have any extra commits compared to the branch that you want to merge, but unfortunately that's rarely the case! If we committed changes on the current branch that the branch we want to merge doesn't have, git will perform a *no-fast-forward* merge.

With a no-fast-forward merge, Git creates a new *merging commit* on the active branch. The commit's parent commits point to both the active branch and the branch that we want to merge!

[![](/assets/postAssets/2019/rf1o2b6eduboqwkigg3w.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/rf1o2b6eduboqwkigg3w.gif)

No big deal, a perfect merge! 🎉 The `master` branch now contains all the changes that we've made on the `dev` branch.

### Merge Conflicts

Although Git is good at deciding how to merge branches and add changes to files, it cannot always make this decision all by itself 🙂 This can happen when the two branches we're trying to merge have changes on the same line in the same file, or if one branch deleted a file that another branch modified, and so on.

In that case, Git will ask you to help decide which of the two options we want to keep! Let's say that on both branches, we edited the first line in the `README.md`.

[![](/assets/postAssets/2019/m3nxmp67mqof5sa3iik9.png)](/assets/postAssets/2019/m3nxmp67mqof5sa3iik9.png)

If we want to merge `dev` into `master`, this will end up in a merge conflict: would you like the title to be `Hello!` or `Hey!`?

When trying to merge the branches, Git will show you where the conflict happens. We can manually remove the changes we don't want to keep, save the changes, add the changed file again, and commit the changes 🥳

[![](/assets/postAssets/2019/bcd5ajtoc0g5dxzmpfbq.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/bcd5ajtoc0g5dxzmpfbq.gif)

Yay! Although merge conflicts are often quite annoying, it makes total sense: Git shouldn't just *assume* which change we want to keep.

## Rebasing

We just saw how we could apply changes from one branch to another by performing a `git merge`. Another way of adding changes from one branch to another is by performing a `git rebase`.

A `git rebase` *copies* the commits from the current branch, and puts these copied commits on top of the specified branch.

[![](/assets/postAssets/2019/dwyukhq8yj2xliq4i50e.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/dwyukhq8yj2xliq4i50e.gif)

Perfect, we now have all the changes that were made on the `master` branch available on the `dev` branch! 🎊

A big difference compared to merging, is that Git won't try to find out which files to keep and not keep. The branch that we're rebasing always has the latest changes that we want to keep! You won't run into any merging conflicts this way, and keeps a nice linear Git history.

This example shows rebasing on the `master` branch. In bigger projects, however, you usually don't want to do that. A `git rebase` **changes the history of the project** as new hashes are created for the copied commits!

Rebasing is great whenever you're working on a feature branch, and the master branch has been updated. You can get all the updates on your branch, which would prevent future merging conflicts! 😄

### Interactive Rebase

Before rebasing the commits, we can modify them! 😃 We can do so with an *interactive rebase*. An interactive rebase can also be useful on the branch you're currently working on, and want to modify some commits.

There are 6 actions we can perform on the commits we're rebasing:

* `reword`: Change the commit message
* `edit`: Amend this commit
* `squash`: Meld commit into the previous commit
* `fixup`: Meld commit into the previous commit, without keeping the commit's log message
* `exec`: Run a command on each commit we want to rebase
* `drop`: Remove the commit

Awesome! This way, we can have full control over our commits. If we want to remove a commit, we can just `drop` it.

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/msofpv7k6rcmpaaefscm.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/msofpv7k6rcmpaaefscm.gif)

Or if we want to squash multiple commits together to get a cleaner history, no problem!

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/bc1r460xx1i0blu0lnnm.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/bc1r460xx1i0blu0lnnm.gif)

Interactive rebasing gives you a lot of control over the commits you're trying to rebase, even on the current active branch!

## Resetting

It can happen that we committed changes that we didn't want later on. Maybe it's a `WIP` commit, or maybe a commit that introduced bugs! 🐛 In that case, we can perform a `git reset`.

A `git reset` gets rid of all the current staged files and gives us control over where `HEAD` should point to.

### Soft reset

A *soft reset* moves `HEAD` to the specified commit (or the index of the commit compared to `HEAD`), without getting rid of the changes that were introduced on the commits afterward!

Let's say that we don't want to keep the commit `9e78i` which added a `style.css` file, and we also don't want to keep the commit `035cc` which added an `index.js` file. However, we do want to keep the newly added `style.css` and `index.js` file! A perfect use case for a soft reset.

[![](/assets/postAssets/2019/je5240aqa5uw9d8j3ibb.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/je5240aqa5uw9d8j3ibb.gif)

When typing `git status`, you'll see that we still have access to all the changes that were made on the previous commits. This is great, as this means that we can fix the contents of these files and commit them again later on!

### Hard reset

Sometimes, we don't want to keep the changes that were introduced by certain commits. Unlike a soft reset, we shouldn't need to have access to them any more. Git should simply reset its state back to where it was on the specified commit: this even includes the changes in your working directory and staged files! 💣

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/hlh0kowt3hov1xhcku38.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/hlh0kowt3hov1xhcku38.gif)

Git has discarded the changes that were introduced on `9e78i` and `035cc`, and reset its state to where it was on commit `ec5be`.

### Reverting

Another way of undoing changes is by performing a `git revert`. By reverting a certain commit, we create a *new commit* that contains the reverted changes!

Let's say that `ec5be` added an `index.js` file. Later on, we actually realize we didn't want this change introduced by this commit anymore! Let's revert the `ec5be` commit.

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/3kkd2ahn41zixs12xgpf.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/3kkd2ahn41zixs12xgpf.gif)

Perfect! Commit `9e78i` reverted the changes that were introduced by the `ec5be` commit. Performing a `git revert` is very useful in order to undo a certain commit, without modifying the history of the branch.

## Cherry-picking

When a certain branch contains a commit that introduced changes we need on our active branch, we can `cherry-pick` that command! By `cherry-pick`ing a commit, we create a new commit on our active branch that contains the changes that were introduced by the `cherry-pick`ed commit.

Say that commit `76d12` on the `dev` branch added a change to the `index.js` file that we want in our `master` branch. We don't want the *entire* we just care about this one single commit!

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/2dkjx4yeaal10xyvj29v.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/2dkjx4yeaal10xyvj29v.gif)

Cool, the master branch now contains the changes that `76d12` introduced!

## Fetching

If we have a remote Git branch, for example a branch on Github, it can happen that the remote branch has commits that the current branch doesn't have! Maybe another branch got merged, your colleague pushed a quick fix, and so on.

We can get these changes locally, by performing a `git fetch` on the remote branch! It doesn't affect your local branch in any way: a `fetch` simply downloads new data.

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/bulx1voegfji4vwgndh4.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/bulx1voegfji4vwgndh4.gif)

We can now see all the changes that have been made since we last pushed! We can decide what we want to do with the new data now that we have it locally.

## Pulling

Although a `git fetch` is very useful in order to get the remote information of a branch, we can also perform a `git pull`. A `git pull` is actually two commands in one: a `git fetch`, and a `git merge`. When we're pulling changes from the origin, we're first fetching all the data like we did with a `git fetch`, after which the latest changes are automatically merged into the local branch.

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/zifpnl1h6a4tk4qdc9sy.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/zifpnl1h6a4tk4qdc9sy.gif)

Awesome, we're now perfectly in sync with the remote branch and have all the latest changes! 🤩

## Reflog

Everyone makes mistakes, and that's totally okay! Sometimes it may feel like you've screwed up your git repo so badly that you just want to delete it entirely.

`git reflog` is a very useful command in order to show a log of all the actions that have been taken! This includes merges, resets, reverts: basically any alteration to your branch.

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/1aqek1py1knwl926ele7.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/1aqek1py1knwl926ele7.gif))

If you made a mistake, you can easily redo this by resetting `HEAD` based on the information that `reflog` gives us!

Say that we actually didn't want to merge the origin branch. When we execute the `git reflog` command, we see that the state of the repo before the merge is at `HEAD@{1}`. Let's perform a `git reset` to point HEAD back to where it was on `HEAD@{1}`!

[![Alt Text](/assets/postAssets/2019/9z9rhtbw7mrigp0miijz.gif)](/assets/postAssets/2019/9z9rhtbw7mrigp0miijz.gif)

We can see that the latest action has been pushed to the `reflog`!

Git has so many useful porcelain and plumbing commands, I wish I could cover them all! 😄 I know there are many other commands or alterations that I didn't have time for to cover right now - let me know what your favorite/most useful commands are, and I may cover them in another post!

And as always, feel free to reach out to me! 😊
