About this tool

IconVault's Git Command Explainer decodes the Git you copy from Stack Overflow. Paste or type any command like git reset --hard HEAD~1 and get a plain-English explanation of what the command does, plus a breakdown of every flag and argument (what --hard means, what HEAD~1 points to).

It covers the 50+ commands developers actually run, from daily staples (add, commit, push) to the scary ones (reset, rebase, reflog), with danger levels so you see warnings before destructive operations. It is free and runs fully in your browser.
