- Show reflog for specific ref: `git reflog show <ref>`
- View reflog with dates: `git reflog --date=iso`
- Recover lost commit: `git checkout <reflog-hash>` then create branch
- Reset to reflog entry: `git reset --hard HEAD@{n}`
- View specific entry: `git show HEAD@{n}`
- Expire reflog: `git reflog expire --expire=30.days --all`
