Welcome to GitGitGadgetHi @Viaceslavus, and welcome to GitGitGadget, the GitHub App to send patch series to the Git mailing list from GitHub Pull Requests. Please make sure that your Pull Request has a good description, as it will be used as cover letter. Also, it is a good idea to review the commit messages one last time, as the Git project expects them in a quite specific form:
It is in general a good idea to await the automated test ("Checks") in this Pull Request before contributing the patches, e.g. to avoid trivial issues such as unportable code. Contributing the patchesBefore you can contribute the patches, your GitHub username needs to be added to the list of permitted users. Any already-permitted user can do that, by adding a comment to your PR of the form Both the person who commented An alternative is the channel
Once on the list of permitted usernames, you can contribute the patches to the Git mailing list by adding a PR comment If you want to see what email(s) would be sent for a After you submit, GitGitGadget will respond with another comment that contains the link to the cover letter mail in the Git mailing list archive. Please make sure to monitor the discussion in that thread and to address comments and suggestions (while the comments and suggestions will be mirrored into the PR by GitGitGadget, you will still want to reply via mail). If you do not want to subscribe to the Git mailing list just to be able to respond to a mail, you can download the mbox from the Git mailing list archive (click the curl -g --user "<EMailAddress>:<Password>" \
--url "imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX" -T /path/to/raw.txt To iterate on your change, i.e. send a revised patch or patch series, you will first want to (force-)push to the same branch. You probably also want to modify your Pull Request description (or title). It is a good idea to summarize the revision by adding something like this to the cover letter (read: by editing the first comment on the PR, i.e. the PR description):
To send a new iteration, just add another PR comment with the contents: Need help?New contributors who want advice are encouraged to join git-mentoring@googlegroups.com, where volunteers who regularly contribute to Git are willing to answer newbie questions, give advice, or otherwise provide mentoring to interested contributors.

The CI build is failing, and I have a hunch that this points out a real problem. For example,
This, along with the other test failures, suggests that the change provided by this PR cannot be applied as-is. You may want to introduce a new config setting to enable the new behavior, imitating e.g. 4c3abd0 To make this new config setting discoverable, you will want to add a new The reason to be so careful is that we cannot simply break existing workflows of millions of users, just like that. And it is virtually guaranteed that existing workflows would be broken, by the mere fact that our very own test suite uses the existing paradigm that would be broken by this PR in its current form. |

The power of hard reset may frequently be inconvinient for a common user. So this is an implementation of safe mode for hard reset. It can be switched on by setting 'reset.safe' config variable to true. When running 'reset --hard' with 'reset.safe' enabled git will check if there are any staged changes that may be discarded by this reset. If there is a chance of deleting the changes, git will ask the user for a confirmation with Yes/No choice. Signed-off-by: Viacelaus <vaceslavkozin619@gmail.com>

Preventing unexpected code-deletion with hard reset 'safe mode'.
Considering the recomendations for patch v1 and in order to preserve the current robustness of hard reset, I have made the following modifications to the original version (which has completely disallowed hard reset on unborn branch with staged files):
Changes since v1:
