Another super simple technique is to create a branch where you start to go back to if you need to; ie if you are rebasing `foo`, start by running `git branch foo-back` and you can always reset back there if needed.
Since I often play with razors by rebasing, resetting, cherry picking, etc locally - I created a `git tmp` alias so I can play without fear of needing to go reflog diving again.
The `tmp` command creates a commit of all changes, branches it, then rolls back the commit.
This temp branch (or even `git tag my_orig_branch`) approach is usually a better on-ramp than the reflog. It's still too easy to misread the line in the reflog of a prior HEAD change and go to the wrong commit, whereas the tmp branch is foolproof (and fatigue-proof).
