Thank you, and that's a good advice from the comment:
"So if you're writing a script that needs to work with dozens of past and future Git versions, use git checkout. If you need to teach humans how to talk to Git, use git switch. Some details of some flags may change in the future, but I'd argue that that'll be a smaller mental challenge than trying to teach which parts of git checkout do what."
I'll try to use more switch/restore
I've actually used "git stash" more than it should be (I'm probably applying real bad "p4/g4/svn" like ideas in my head to the development. As soon as I go into project with few more people, and I'm lost, though I was able to make few PR's in github for things - but everytime had to le-learn the process).
I sometimes use git stash as a safer alternative to git reset --hard HEAD. git stash -> check that the state you've reverted to is actually what you want -> git stash drop. And since internally stash is just creating a commit, it's even possible to recover the changes if they haven't been garbage collected.
I thought so, like I'm not putting much thought behind it of sorts, also it puts into uncomfortable sitatutions sometimes should I merge, or forward something, or who knows what...
Internally Google started on Perforce and gradually replaced its backend. Their client (not available outside their org) is g4 rather than p4.
Some dedicated/stubborn devs also used to (maybe still do?) manage local history in a git-based tool with pushes on demand to a g4 changelist for review.
