+## Advanced Git Commands
+
+Need to manage work-in-progress changes or selectively apply commits? Use the commands below.
+
+### git stash
+
+Temporarily save uncommitted work so you can switch branches safely.
+
+```bash
+# Save current changes with a message
+git stash push -m "wip: listener tweaks"
+
+# Re-apply the most recent stash
+git stash pop
+```
+
+### git cherry-pick
+
+Apply a specific commit from another branch onto your current branch.
+
+```bash
+# Cherry-pick a single commit by SHA
+git cherry-pick a1b2c3d4
+```
+
+### git revert
+
+Create a new commit that undoes a previous commit (safe for shared branches).
+
+```bash
+# Revert the most recent commit
+git revert HEAD
+```
+
+### git reset
+
+Move the branch pointer back to an earlier commit (use with care on shared branches).
+
+```bash
+# Keep changes staged but remove the last commit
+git reset --soft HEAD~1
+
+# Discard the last commit and working tree changes
+git reset --hard HEAD~1
+```
