I had a go making a CLI for the first time to save myself always googling "how to do x with git". It's still suuuuuper buggy but ~mostly~ functional

https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/03/31/git-origin-head/ may be of interest as a fairly well supported way of getting upstream default branch - I'm interested in this too though so I'll have a play with it tomorrow too

Without this setting you can still just type "p". Since I use vim keybindings I often just block select "pick" and replace it with "s". This is just about the default it fills in for you.

Have you looked at git reflog? It shows a log of all operations on your local repo and allows you to do exactly that - find commit hashes to go back to, which you could then git reset --hard

A good read - I've found that too many PRs then ends up difficult as you're constantly rebasing them to remove the constant merge commits, so am happy with a larger PR with lots of atomic commits that allow reviewing them in isolation

I think the general rule of thumb is "try not to support anything other than the latest version in Production and the latest development version, and even then reduce the time that there are two versions as much as possible" but with things like user-managed software, or where your path to production is slower, it can be difficult to say that.
