Risk: safeMap Recent Release Commits
You need to see which tagged release commits exist before choosing a rollback target.
Command
cd /lab/git-recovery-rollback && git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all -8Before you run this
Risk: safe. Do not rely on commit order alone when your deploy system can point at a different artifact or symlink.
Expected output
A compact commit graph showing release-2026-06-25-1030 and earlier release tags.
System impact
Nothing changes. Git prints the recent commit graph with tags.
Recovery / rollback: no state is changed.
When to use it
Use during rollback planning when you need the shape of recent releases quickly.
When not to use it
Do not rely on commit order alone when your deploy system can point at a different artifact or symlink.

Study mapping
Use this as independent command practice: read the notes, predict the output, then compare it with the example before using a real shell.

- LPIC-1 style command-line practice
- LFCS style performance tasks
- Linux+ style troubleshooting review
