I had some local changes in my directory that I committed using git commit. Later I realized that by mistake my changes broke my build. So I did a git reset --soft
on my repo. But I screwed up, as I did not back up the changes that were all undone, as some of them did contain the new functionality that I wanted. Any help on how to undo a git reset --soft
operation so that I can get my committed changes back.
So, to undo the reset, run git reset HEAD@{1} (or git reset d27924e ). If, on the other hand, you've run some other commands since then that update HEAD, the commit you want won't be at the top of the list, and you'll need to search through the reflog .
We can use the command git fsck to recover the files after a hard reset.
git reset --soft , which will keep your files, and stage all changes back automatically. git reset --hard , which will completely destroy any changes and remove them from the local directory.
In most cases, yes. Depending on the state your repository was in when you ran the command, the effects of git reset --hard can range from trivial to undo, to basically impossible.
In $ git reflog
you should find some of your commits. Once you find the latest commit that you want to move to
you should reset back to your commit id $ git reset _Your_Hash_
, as $ git reset --soft
just reset the files and not the index or working tree.
