+## Please read ⚠️
+
+Git comes with a garbage collector ([in case you didn't know](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-gc)) therefore undoing some commands will become impossible if the entries are deleted from the reflog.
+One way to prevent this is to increase default time limits before the reflog entries expire:
+Add these configuration in your global `.gitconfig` file:
+
+```gitconfig
+[gc]
+    # default 90 days
+    reflogExpire = 200
+```
+Used to set how long records in a branches reflog should be preserved.
+
+```gitconfig
+[gc]
+    # default 30 days
+    reflogExpireUnreachable = 90
+
+```
+Used to set how long inaccessible reflog records should be preserved.
