Mistakes happen fast when coding, but fixing them shouldn't derail your entire project. Beyond simple typos, you can recover from major missteps like accidentally accepting AI-generated code that breaks your application or overwrites working features. The real power lies in checkpoint-based rollbacks that restore your entire development environment, not just individual files. This means you can experiment boldly with AI assistance, knowing you can instantly return to any stable state without manually tracking what changed across multiple files and configurations.
