    $ git reflog ;# lists entries of reflog of HEAD, starting at HEAD@{0}
    $ git reflog HEAD ;# same
    $ git reflog HEAD@{4} ;# same, starting at HEAD@{4}
    $ git reflog master ;# entries of reflog of "master"
    $ git reflog master@{0} ;# same
    $ git reflog master@{now} ;# same, show with timestamps
    $ git reflog master@{4.minutes} ;# same, starting at master@{4.minutes}

For the branch that is currently checked out, you can omit the name
when you use any of the @{...} notation, so 

    $ git reflog @{0}
    $ git reflog @{now}

are often the easiest ways to view what you did on the current
branch.
