version control - Lost Last Git Commit

Question

I lost my last commit because I accidentally ran "git reset --hard HEAD^". Note: I didn't want to put the "^" at the end.

Is there any way to get it back? It was 2 days of work :(

Answer 1

I think that this article is what you are looking for. According to the article, your commit is "gone," but not garbage collected - sort of like the recycle bin in Windows.

You run git fsck --lost-found to find the 'dangling commit', and look at it with git reflog, then merge the dangling commit with your current branch, git merge 7c61179.
