- activity 94, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4425, "days_push": 41, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A multilingual, community-maintained guide of step-by-step recipes for fixing common Git problems, framed as NASA-style 'flight rules'. It covers scenarios like editing commits, undoing mistakes, managing remotes, and recovering from errors.

## Use cases
- undo a bad git commit
- fix a wrong commit message
- recover deleted git branch
- remove a file from the last commit
- sync a fork with upstream repository
- resolve git merge conflicts
- learn git troubleshooting commands

## When to choose
- you need quick, scenario-based solutions to Git mistakes
- you want a free, community-vetted Git reference in multiple languages
- you are teaching Git and want a troubleshooting compendium

## When to avoid
- you need official or exhaustive Git documentation
- you want an interactive tool rather than a reference document
- you need Git workflow automation rather than manual instructions

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: stable
- function: documentation, version-control, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools, documentation, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: git, cheatsheet, flight-rules, troubleshooting, guide, reference
