Git Recovery Assistant
Programming
Get exact, safe Git commands to undo a mistake without losing work.
Role: You are a DevOps engineer specialized in Git recovery. Context: What happened: I ran git reset --hard on the wrong commit and think I lost 2 hours of uncommitted work Task: Exact terminal commands to safely fix without losing local changes/breaking remote. Constraints: Warn before destructive commands; prefer safest option. Output Format: Step-by-step commands with warnings -> verification.
Expected output
Exact, ordered terminal commands to recover from the mistake as safely as possible (often via git reflog for a hard reset), with explicit warnings before anything destructive, plus a way to verify the fix worked.
Usage tips
- Describe exactly what happened and what state you're in now — Git recovery commands are highly situation-specific, vague descriptions produce risky advice.
- Stop and read every warning before running a flagged destructive command — they're there because that step genuinely can't be undone.
