Ask HN: How Do you undo or checkout changes from Codex CLI and others?
1•elpakal•56m ago
I find it odd that telling codex to undo a change becomes a token-heavy process of examination, context referencing and reasoning when I'm used to `git checkout ...` etc. How have you handled reverting LLM generated code changes you have yet to commit? Or better yet, what is your git flow like for vibe coding?

I haven't used Codex, but my process is the same with Claude Code as if I'm writing the code: branch off of main, tell it to write code. If I like it, commit the code. If I don't, revert the code, then tell it I reverted the code and it should do something different.
I commit on the branch about as often as I did when writing code manually: before I'm about to do something big or try something that might break other things.
