Added 7 new tips covering common Git disasters that developers face:

  • Merge conflict resolution - How to handle scary merge conflicts
  • Fixing pushed broken commits - Using revert instead of reset on public commits
  • Recovering deleted branches - Using reflog to resurrect accidentally deleted branches
  • Handling committed secrets - The nightmare scenario of committed passwords/API keys
  • Wrong remote repository fixes - When you've been pushing to the wrong repo
  • Large file cleanup - Dealing with accidentally committed huge files
  • Rebase recovery - Getting out of rebase hell

Each tip follows the same humorous tone and practical format as the existing tips, with real Git commands that actually work.

- Merge conflict resolution
- Fixing pushed broken commits
- Recovering deleted branches
- Handling committed secrets
- Wrong remote repository fixes
- Large file cleanup
- Rebase recovery
