Git SOS here. I worked 10 hours on a project without committing (I know, I know) and then I git added too many files, so I tried using git rm and accidentally deleted EVERYTHING. Is there hope for me? :(((
If you already commited changes, then:
git reset (--hard) HEAD~1
If not then:
git reset
git ls-files -d -z | xargs -0 git checkout --
Success story sharing
git reset --hard HEAD
work in the second case?git ls-files -d
and thet it will recover only deleted files.git ls-files -d -z | xargs -0 git checkout --
is the way to go for the generic case with filename spaces (jennyandlih.com/using-git-ls-files-input-xargs)
