Can you tell something about git reflog?

1.	Can you tell something about git reflog?
Answer» This command tracks every single change made in the repository references (that can be branches or tags) and also maintains the branches/tags log HISTORY that was either created locally or CHECKED out. Reference logs such as the commit snapshot of when the branch was created or CLONED, checked-out, renamed, or any commits made on the branch are maintained by Git and listed by the ‘REFLOG’ command. This recovery of the branch is only possible when the branch was either created locally or checked-out from a remote repository in your LOCAL repository for Git to store its reference history logs. This command should be executed in the repository that had the lost branch.
