Difference Between git log and git reflog

git log and git reflog are both commands in Git, but they serve different purposes.

  1. git log:

    Example:

    git log
    
  2. git reflog:

    Example:

    git reflog
    

In summary, while git log shows the commit history of a branch, git reflog shows a more detailed history of reference changes, which includes movements of the HEAD and branch references. The git reflog can be particularly helpful for recovering from accidental changes or if you need to revisit a previous state of your repository.
