I dont remember what I did but all my work from months is gone. For long time I was committing files to git. I must have misspelled the commit command, I dont remember (and cannot see it anymore). Then the following happend:

I was in detached HEAD

I might have stashed files

I checked out to main branch I found my commit but in this branch and last commit almost everything is gone.

In my history in detached head

I tried to go there and do git stash pop (since I think I stashed it) but nothing there to be stashed. I only have 2 branches which is main and detached HEAD.

Also in both detached HEAD and main, I can only see my last commit and another comment 4 months ago. All my other commits disappeared - BOTH in detached HEAD and main.. Im afraid to do anything more wrong and fully loose everything. I know its not fully clear what happened, but its all I know. I would appreciate help so much as its soo much Ive lost..Thanks a lot!!!

when running git log 2be5fe718 or gitk 2be5fe718 on copied repo, I only get the following (1 commit from4 months ago and my last commit that I did today but where everything is gone

CodePudding user response：

1. Create a backup of your directory in case your screw up.

2. Use git reflog to find the lost commit(s). You can use git log $commit_hash or gitk $commit_hash to verify.

3. Once you have the commit hash, create a new branch to point to that commit: git branch $commit_hash_from_reflog

4. Check out or push this new branch

5. Don't forget to be happy
