Comment on On undoing, fixing, or removing commits in git parent

Yes, this is how beginners should be taught to "back up" in git.

In the interest of making this easier:

    git branch branchname-backup
    #do dangerous stuff ...
    # whoops I just broke the branch really bad I'll start over
    git reset branchname-backup
