# Flight rules for git

A guide for astronauts about what to do when things go wrong.

### What are "flight rules"?

A guide for astronauts (now, programmers using git) about what to do when things go wrong.

> *Flight Rules* are the hard-earned body of knowledge recorded in manuals that list, step-by-step, what to do if X occurs, and why. Essentially, they are extremely detailed, scenario-specific standard operating procedures. [...]
> NASA has been capturing our missteps, disasters and solutions since the early 1960s, when Mercury-era ground teams first started gathering "lessons learned" into a compendium that now lists thousands of problematic sitautions, from engine failure to busted hatch handles to computer glitches, and their solutions.
