Adds concise documentation for advanced Git commands with examples to help users apply git stash, git cherry-pick, git revert, and git reset correctly.

  • Documentation updates
    • Added an “Advanced Git Commands” section in README detailing usage patterns and caveats for each command.
    • Included practical command examples for common workflows.

Example snippet:

# Save local work without committing
git stash push -m "wip: feature-x"

# Apply a specific commit from another branch
git cherry-pick <commit-sha>

The description for git stash pop is a bit misleading: pop applies the stash and drops it (unless it fails). Consider either changing the text to “Apply and drop the most recent stash” or using git stash apply if the intent is to re-apply while keeping the stash around.

Suggested change
# Re-apply the most recent stash
# Apply and drop the most recent stash
